A One Pass Line-Following Algorithm for Linear Feature Extraction
… geometric symmetries of multi-pixel-width line features in raster format, the algorithm follows the center of a line feature by maintaining an equal distance to the exterior of the feature in the two directions perpendicular to the current moving direction. The algorithm generates vector data …

Effects of automated cartographic generalization on linear map features
… relates to manual cartographic methods and feature representation is analyzed. It is suggested that the nature of representation of linear features on maps be considered in the analysis of effectiveness of automated generalization. The development of a computer platform for evaluating linear …

Vibration- and Impedance-based Structural Health Monitoring Applications and Thermal Effects
… Moreover, in order to better extract the damage features from the measured electrical impedance, the ARX non-linear feature extraction is employed. This non-linear feature extraction, compared to the linear one, results in detection of damages in the micro-level size and improves the early …

The influence of linear landscape features on pollinator behaviour
Linear landscape features such as hedgerows are important wildlife habitats but their functional role in improving connectivity in fragmented habitats remains uncertain. This thesis studied the influence of both natural and artificial linear features on pollinator behaviour at medium and landscape …

Nonlinear network vector autoregression
… series. The classic autoregressive model has two features that can be improved, linear, and one-dimensional. Economic theory shows that many important macroeconomic time series exhibit nonlinear characteristics. If this non-linear feature is ignored, the conclusion is likely to be wrong by only …

A Second North American Hot-spot: Pleistocene Volcanism in the Anahim Volcanic Belt, west-central British Columbia
… the Anahim Volcanic Belt (AVB), a 330 km long linear feature in west-central British Columbia. The belt includes three felsic shield volcanoes, the Rainbow, Ilgachuz and Itcha ranges as its most notable features, as well as regionally extensive cone fields, lava flows, dyke swarms and a pluton. …

Segmentation and Feature Extraction Methods for Ocular Modalities
… vascular pattern enhancement techniques, feature extraction methodologies and feature enhancement methods for CV recognition. We introduce a new sclera segmentation algorithm using morphological properties of human eye in visible spectrum. This study demonstrates the effective use of the …

Adaptive Planning in Changing Policies and Environments
… the reward function is approximated by a set of linear feature functions. Choosing an expressive enough set of feature functions can be challenging, and failure to do so can skew the learned reward function. Instead, we propose an algorithm to estimate the policy parameters of the agent as it …

Wolf Selection of Human-Modified Linear Features and Cover Types When Hunting and Killing White-Tailed Deer Fawns
… timber harvest areas and linear features—and cover types influence where wolves hunt and kill fawns. During 2016–2019, I fit wolves with 20-min-fix-interval Global Positioning System (GPS) collars and searched clusters of GPS-locations to identify where wolves killed fawns. …
