High-Throughput ORB Feature Extraction on Zynq SoC for Real-Time Structure-from-Motion Pipelines by Panteleimon Stamatakis, John Vourvoulakis

“…This paper presents a real-time system for feature detection and description, the first stage in a structure-from-motion (SfM) pipeline. The proposed system leverages an optimized version of the ORB algorithm (oriented FAST and rotated BRIEF) implemented on the Digilent Zybo Z7020 FPGA board equipped with the Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC. …”

From Fields to Microclimate: Assessing the Influence of Agricultural Landscape Structure on Vegetation Cover and Local Climate in Central Europe by Jan Kuntzman, Jakub Brom

“…To explore this further, we studied an area along the Czech–Austrian border, where socio-political factors have created stark contrasts in landscape structure, despite a similar topography. Using Land Parcel Information System (LPIS) data, we analyzed the landscape structure on both sides and processed eight Landsat 8 and 9 OLI/TIRS scenes from the 2022 vegetation season to calculate spectral indices (NDVI, NDMI) and microclimatic features (surface temperature, albedo, and energy fluxes). …”

Widespread admixture blurs population structure and confounds Lake Trout (Salvelinus namaycush) conservation even in the genomic era by Thaïs A. Bernos, Julie Gibelli, Sozos Michaelides, Hari Won, Hyung-Bae Jeon, Kia Marin, David A. Boguski, Muhammad Yamin Janjua, Colin P. Gallagher, Kimberly L. Howland, Dylan J. Fraser

“…However, admixture was widespread (60% of the fish) and population structure was shallow (average F ST = 0.022). These findings highlight that, even in the era of whole genome sequencing, identifying discrete management units to implement conservation efforts and policy can remain challenging in systems where gene flow among genetically and ecologically distinct populations is ubiquitous. …”
