Vegetation maps provide crucial information for ecological studies, biodiversity conservation, vegetation management and restoration, and national strategic decision making. The current vegetation map of China was produced by a team of more than 250 scientists over the course of two decades starting in the 1980s, who spent a huge amount of efforts to manually delineate […]
High-throughput Crop Phenotyping: Development & Application
Development and application of high-throughput crop phenotyping platform Phenomics studies the external performance of crop traits under the interaction of genes and the environment, which provides a new way for crop breeding. The current development of phenomics is far behind the development of genomics due to the lack of high-throughput phenotype platforms and algorithms. In […]
Animal 3D Ecology: Ecosystem Structure Reconstruction & Application-1
Knowledges about processing of interactions within organisms, between organisms and environment form bedrock of understanding how ecosystem organized. Interactions in forest ecosystem are inferred from patterns of spatial-temporal co-occurrence or avoidance in physical space. Based on the complexity of three-dimensional (3D) ecosystem, ecologists urgently need accurate in-situ data to construct nonlinear relationships and describe complex […]
Intelligent Driving: Essential Tech Research & Development-1
Environmental perception and high-precision positioning are the core research contents of self-driving. These factors help cars obtain accurate real-time positioning information and make correct path planning decisions. However, some problems still exist, including difficulty in recognizing and efficiently realizing complete road mapping, inadequate automation, poor positioning robustness, and so on. To solve these problems, based […]
