Performance of tractor and tillage implements in clay soil by Saeed Ranjbarian, Mohammad Askari, Javad Jannatkhah

“…Three implements included of moldboard plow, disk plow and chisel plow at four forward velocities (1.5, 2.3, 3 and 4 km/h) in 23 cm depth and 1500 rpm engine speed was examined. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of resulted data revealed that increase of forward velocity results in increase of implement draft, wheel slippage, drawbar power and overall energy efficiency but results in decrease of traction efficiency. …”

Calculating the Optimal Point Cloud Density for Airborne LiDAR Landslide Investigation: An Adaptive Approach by Zeyuan Liao, Xiujun Dong, Qiulin He

“…Ensuring that ground point density after raw point cloud processing meets the accuracy requirements for subsequent DEM construction represents a challenge for field operators during airborne LiDAR data acquisition. In this study, we propose a method to quantify DEM quality by combining the RMSE of elevation and terrain complexity, analyzing the DEM quality error curves constructed with different point cloud densities by a discrete difference peak-seeking method, to determine the optimal ground point density, and then constructing an ICP-NN algorithm for predicting the collected point cloud density. …”
