Spatial and Temporal Variations in Tree Growth, Mortality, and Biodiversity in Alberta Forests
DownloadSpring 2014
Understanding the spatial and temporal variation of tree demographic rates and biodiversity is essential for predicting the dynamics of forest ecosystems and their responses to changing environments. This thesis contributes to that understanding through modeling the long-term change in tree...

Bonneau, David, DiFrancesco, Paul-Mark, Hutchinson, D. Jean
Laser scanning is routinely being used for the characterization and management of rockfall hazards. A key component of many studies is the ability to use the high-resolution topographic datasets for detailed volume estimates. 2.5-Dimensional (2.5D) approaches exist to estimate the volume of...

Spring 2020
Geohazard monitoring is becoming increasingly important alongside increased expectations for the protection of the public. Technological advances in the field of remote monitoring and instrumentation has allowed for an economically efficient means of data collection. Traditional methods of...

The Use of Terrestrial Laser Scanners for 3-Dimensional Modelling and Quantification of the effects of Competition and Phenology on Plant Structure with Fractal Analysis and Quantitative Structural Modelling Tools
DownloadSpring 2024
Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) are active remote sensing sensors that use light to measure distances between the sensor and objects generating a three-dimensional dataset. This technology has been used in a diverse range of ecological studies measuring plant and vegetation properties. In the...

Pao, Wing Yi, Li, Long, Agelin-Chaab, Martin
Modern vehicles are equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that rely heavily on a variety of sensors such as LiDAR, RADAR, SONAR, and camera to capture surrounding traffic data. Sensor performance has been observed to degrade during adverse weather conditions as the signals are...
