This paper addresses the problem of the evaluation of people counting systems. The relation between the real people number and the output of the people counting system is used to motivate the computation of the maximum number of people as a scenario and geometry specific quantity which supports the evaluation of the system output. Based on the camera field-of-view we determine the maximum numbe...

BACKGROUNDS AND AIMS Shoot demography affects the growth of the tree crown and the number of leaves on a tree. Masting may cause inter-annual and spatial variation in shoot demography of mature trees, which may in turn affect the resource budget of the tree. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of masting on the temporal and spatial variations in shoot demography of mature Betula gr...
