This is RMIT’s first year of participation in the TDT evaluation. Our system uses a linear classifier to track topics and an approach based on our previous work in document routing. We aimed this year to develop a baseline system, and to then test selected variations, including adaptive tracking. Our contribution this year to have implemented an efficient system, that is, one that maximises tra...

No method exists to reliably predict percent vegetation coverage using indirect measures. This study was conducted to evaluate the use of digital image processing techniques applied to digital color, red-green-blue (RGB), images of crop canopies to estimate percent vegetation coverage and biomass. Two field experiments with winter wheat (Triticum aeslivum L.) "Tonkawa" were planted in October 1...
