This paper develops two different approaches for downscaling (disaggregation) passive microwave derived soil moisture from coarse resolution L-band observations. Ground and airborne data collected over Walnut Gulch experimental watershed during the Monsoon ’90 experiment were used to test these approaches. These data consisted of eight micrometeorological stations (METFLUX) and six flights of t...

This paper concerns the creation of efficient surface representations from laser point clouds created by a push broom laser system. We produce a continuous, implicit, non-parametric and non-stationary representation with an update time that is constant. This allows us to form predictions of the underlying workspace surfaces at arbitrary locations and densities. The algorithm places no restricti...

Among the emerging applications of remote sensing technologies, detection plastic litter has observed successful in recent years. However, while number studies and datasets for spectral characterization is growing, few address being submerged natural seawater an outdoor context. This study aims to investigate feasibility hyperspectral less-than-ideal conditions. We present a dataset eight diffe...

An optical pulse asymptotically reaching zero group velocity in tapered waveguides can ultimately stop at a certain position the taper accompanied by strong spatial compression. This phenomenon also be observed spatiotemporal systems where reaches of front. The first system is well known from plasmonic adiabatic nano-focusing light observed. Its counterpart push broom effect nonlinear front col...

Sweeping the floor is not a hard job, sweeping activities will be and take up lot of time if area to worked on very large like in UM-West Sumatra. To simplify save time, it necessary innovate sweeper. The push system sweeper form innovation that facilitates process floor. In this study thrust was designed manufactured. design begins with identification needs, concept design, analysis using fabr...

This paper describes a dataset collected by an autonomous ground vehicle testbed, based upon a modified Ford F-250 pickup truck (Fig 1). The vehicle is outfitted with, a professional (Applanix POS LV) and consumer (Xsens MTI-G) Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU); along with a 3D Velodyne lidar scanner, two push-broom forward looking Riegl lidars, and a Point Grey Ladybug3 omnidirectional camera syst...
