Improved Accuracy of the 3D Measurement Method Utilizing Differential Modulation Based on Multi-Color Channel Fusion by Lei Liu, Xusheng Zhu, Hexiang Zhou, Long Xu, Xinming Zhou, Wei Liu

“…The traditional structured light illumination measurement method usually utilizes peak detection and curve fitting to extract the target position of the modulation curve, while the modulation function is extremely insensitive to the variation of the peak position with height, which leads to the inability to further improve the measurement accuracy. …”

Growth and yield of lodgepole pine stands disturbed by mountain pine beetle in the Lower Foothills of Alberta by W. Richard Dempster, Sharon Meredith

“…The degree to which timber production is naturally restored in such stands will depend to a large extent on the amount and composition of non-pine advance growth and regeneration. Variation in attack severity and tree species composition will, in the absence of clearcutting following disturbance, result in increased diversity in stand and forest structure. …”
