Information about the Health of Forests is Quickly and Accurately Available via Phone-Based Measurements

Researchers have created an algorithm that reliably measures trees five times faster than manual approaches using computer vision techniques. The method was created by academics from the University of Cambridge and provides a precise measurement of tree diameter, a crucial indicator used by scientists to track the health of forests and levels of carbon sequestration. The program produces results that are just as accurate as manual measuring techniques, but significantly faster thanks to the use of low-cost, low-resolution LiDAR sensors found in many smartphones. The results are reported in the journal Remote Sensing. Tree diameter at chest height is the

Researchers have developed a transparent optical imager with near-infrared sensitivity and a touchless interface.

The majority of current devices, including touchscreens, mice, remote controls, keyboards, and other equipment, are operated using the sense of touch. A few specialists, in any case, have been attempting to present elective connection points that don't expect clients to contact anything, as these could be more clean. Past investigations showed that cell phones, for example, are frequently dirtier and more stacked with microbes than the typical latrine, as they are contacted frequently yet seldom cleaned. Touchless connection points would permit clients to work their gadgets without contacting them, undoubtedly restricting the microbes amassing on them. Specialists at the Dutch

Researchers create a novel way for generating natural focus blur in a virtual reality headset.

Parts of the world around us shift into and out of focus as we perceive it. This visual cue is one that humans use naturally, but it can be difficult for technology to mimic, especially in 3D displays. The Split-Lohmann multifocal display is a new technique developed by Carnegie Mellon University researchers for creating natural focal blur in virtual reality headsets. The eye has a lens that can change its focal length to focus on objects at a certain depth and resolve them to their finest details, while points at other depths become blurry. A crucial cue that needs to
