Enhancing luminous flux and color rendering of laser-excited YAG:Ce³⁺ single crystal phosphor plate via surface roughening and low-temperature sintering a CaAlSiN₃:Eu²⁺ phosphor-in-borate glass

Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Ce³⁺ (YAG:Ce³⁺) single crystal phosphor (SCP) exhibits high internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and excellent thermal conductivity and stability. Such properties are promising in high-power laser-excited white lighting applications. However, YAG:Ce³⁺ SCP usually shows...

AdQSM: A New Method for Estimating Above-Ground Biomass from TLS Point Clouds

Forest above-ground biomass (AGB) can be estimated based on light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point clouds. This paper introduces an accurate and detailed quantitative structure model (AdQSM), which can estimate the AGB of large tropical trees. AdQSM is based on the reconstruction of 3D tree models from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point...

A new quantitative approach to tree attributes estimation based on LiDAR point clouds

Tree-level information can be estimated based on light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point clouds. We propose to develop a quantitative structural model based on terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds to automatically and accurately estimate tree attributes and to detect real trees for the first time. This model is suitable for forest...
