A method for improving radar-derived quantitative precipitation estimation is proposed.Tropical vertical profiles of reflectivity (VPRs) are first determined from multiple VPRs.Upon identifying a tropical VPR, the event can be further classified as either tropical-stratiform or tropical-convective rainfall by a fuzzy logic (FL) algorithm.Based on t

This paper studies self-calibration of a structured light system, which reconstructs 3D information using video Services from a static consumer camera and a handheld cross line laser projector.Intersections between the individual laser curves and geometric constraints on the relative position of the laser planes are exploited to achieve dense 3D re
Abstract Proper placental development in early pregnancy ensures a positive outcome later on.The developmental relationship between the placenta and embryonic organs, such as the heart, is crucial for a normal pregnancy.However, the mechanism through which the placenta influences the development of embryonic organs remains unclear.Trophoblasts fuse
