THE SECOND DERIVATIVE OF THE NDVI TIME SERIES AS AN ESTIMATOR OF FRESH BIOMASS: A CASE STUDY OF EIGHT FORAGE ASSOCIATIONS MONITORED VIA UAS

The Second Derivative of the NDVI Time Series as an Estimator of Fresh Biomass: A Case Study of Eight Forage Associations Monitored via UAS

The estimation of crop yield is a compelling and highly relevant task in the scenario of the challenging climate change we are facing.With this aim, a reinterpretation and a simplification of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) fundamentals are presented to calculate the fresh biomass of forage crops.A normalized difference vegetation index

Application-Specific SoC Design Using Core Mapping to 3D Mesh NoCs with Nonlinear Area Optimization and Simulated Annealing

Core mapping, in which a core graph is mapped to a network graph to minimize communication, is a common design problem for Systems-on-Chip interconnected by a Network-on-Chip.In conventional multiprocessors, this mapping is area-agnostic as the cores in the core graph are uniform and therefore iso-area.This changes for Systems-on-Chip because tasks
