A new hierarchical method for the automatic registration of airborne and vehicle light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data is proposed, using three-dimensional (3D) road networks and 3D building contours. Firstly, 3D road networks are extracted from airborne LiDAR data and then registered with vehicle trajectory lines. During the registration of airborne road networks and vehicle trajectory line...

The paper describes a new approach for the generation of architectural orthoimages using digital surface models, based on a CAD model of the object. The model is supposed to consist of surface elements, plane or curved. All surface elements of the CAD model are orthogonally projected onto the reference plane. For each grid element the elevation above or below the reference plane are calculated ...

We discuss common method bias in the context of structural equation modeling employing the partial least squares method (PLS-SEM). Two datasets were created through a Monte Carlo simulation to illustrate the discussion: one contaminated by common method bias, and the other not contaminated. A practical approach is presented for the identification of common method bias based on variance inflatio...

We consider the problem of model selection and estimation in situations where the number of parameters diverges with the sample size. When the dimension is high, an ideal method should have the oracle property (Fan and Li, 2001; Fan and Peng, 2004) which ensures the optimal large sample performance. Furthermore, the high-dimensionality often induces the collinearity problem which should be prop...

In class-imbalance learning, Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) is a widely used technique to tackle problems from the data level, whereas SMOTE blindly selects neighboring minority class points when performing an interpolation among them and inevitably brings collinearity between generated new original ones. To combat these problems, we propose in this study adaptive-weighting m...

Coffee is a bulging commercial crop ever growing up in Ethiopia to export for gaining comparative advantageous of price and income. It also plays pivotal role supporting livelihoods most the people particularly poor within territory country. obvious that farmers are facing numerous problems encountered with coffee value chain marketing their products channel. The main objective this research an...

Abstract Load calibration experiment is the key work for flight load verification and test of civil aircraft. The efficiency meaningfully determined by reliability experiment. This paper aims to theoretically experimentally study aircraft wing with large aspect ratio elastic beam based on scaled model, which includes design fixed device loading, data processing, basic hypothesis test, selection...

The canonical correlations between subsets of OLS estimators are identified with design linkage parameters between their regressors. Known collinearity indices are extended to encompass angles between each regressor vector and remaining vectors. One such angle quantifies the collinearity of regressors with the intercept, of concern in the corruption of all estimates due to ill-conditioning. Mat...
