The ability to visually re-identify objects is a fundamental capability in vision systems. Oftentimes, it relies on collections of visual signatures based on descriptors, such as SIFT or SURF. However, these traditional descriptors were…
Recent years have seen a significant increase in demand for robotic solutions in unstructured natural environments, alongside growing interest in bridging 2D and 3D scene understanding. However, existing robotics datasets are predominantly…
Background and Context: Programming process data can be utilized to understand the processes students use to write computer programming assignments. Keystroke- and line-level event logs have been used in the past in various ways, primarily…
This paper presents a stereo-vision-based system mounted on a drone for detecting and localising radiata pine branches to support autonomous pruning. The proposed pipeline comprises two stages: branch segmentation and depth estimation. For…
Forecasting is critical in areas such as finance, biology, and healthcare. Despite the progress in the field, making accurate forecasts remains challenging because real-world time series contain both global trends, local fine-grained…
Scattered trees outside of dense, closed-canopy forests are very important for carbon sequestration, supporting livelihoods, maintaining ecosystem integrity, and climate change adaptation and mitigation. In contrast to trees inside of…
Tree detection techniques are often used to reduce the complexity of a posteriori probability (APP) detection in high dimensional multi-antenna wireless communication systems. In this paper, we introduce an efficient soft-input soft-output…
Trees have long been used as a graphical representation of species relationships. However complex evolutionary events, such as genetic reassortments or hybrid speciations which occur commonly in viruses, bacteria and plants, do not fit into…
It is important, but challenging, for the forest industry to accurately map roads which are used for timber transport by trucks. In this work, we propose a Dense Dilated Convolutions Merging Network (DDCM-Net) to detect these roads in lidar…
Resistance distance computation is a fundamental problem in graph analysis, yet existing random walk-based methods are limited to approximate solutions and suffer from poor efficiency on small-treewidth graphs (e.g., road networks). In…
Biodiversity conservation depends on accurate, up-to-date information about wildlife population distributions. Motion-activated cameras, also known as camera traps, are a critical tool for population surveys, as they are cheap and…
Trajectory representation learning (TRL) maps trajectories to vectors that can then be used for various downstream tasks, including trajectory similarity computation, trajectory classification, and travel-time estimation. However, existing…
This study introduces a new method of visualizing complex tree structured objects. The usefulness of this method is illustrated in the context of detecting unexpected features in a data set of very large trees. The major contribution is a…
Existing methods for Table Structure Recognition (TSR) from camera-captured or scanned documents perform poorly on complex tables consisting of nested rows / columns, multi-line texts and missing cell data. This is because current…
Dynamic regression trees are an attractive option for automatic regression and classification with complicated response surfaces in on-line application settings. We create a sequential tree model whose state changes in time with the…
Using deep learning methods is a promising approach to improving bark removal efficiency and enhancing the quality of wood products. However, the lack of publicly available datasets for wood plate segmentation in bark removal processing…
Previously, we proposed a physically-inspired method to construct data points into an effective in-tree (IT) structure, in which the underlying cluster structure in the dataset is well revealed. Although there are some edges in the IT…
Despite the success of deep learning for text and image data, tree-based ensemble models are still state-of-the-art for machine learning with heterogeneous tabular data. However, there is a significant need for tabular-specific…
Large language models achieve strong reasoning performance, yet existing decoding strategies either explore blindly (random sampling) or redundantly (independent multi-sampling). We propose Entropy-Tree, a tree-based decoding method that…
Social decisions made by individuals are easily influenced by information from their social neighborhoods. A key predictor of social contagion is the multiplicity of social contexts inside the individual's contact neighborhood, which is…
