Brouwer, W.S. (author), Wang, Y. (author), van Leijen, F.J. (author), Hanssen, R.F. (author)InSAR enables the estimation of displacements of (objects on) the earth's surface. To provide reliable estimates, both a stochastic and mathematical model are required. However, the intrinsic problem of InSAR is that both are unknown. Here we derive the Variance-Covariance Matrix (VCM) for double differenced phase observations for an arc, i.e...conference paper 2023

Yang, Z. (author), Ye, Qin (author), Wang, Xufei (author), Peters, R.Y. (author)Objective Recent advancements in laser scanners and photogrammetry technology have significantly reduced the cost of acquiring 3D point clouds. Consequently, various types of point clouds have gradually become popular data sources for urban applications. The accurate registration of cross-source and multi<sup>-</sup>temporal point clouds must...journal article 2023

Li, Jianguo (author), Wang, Bin (author), Wang, Di (author), Zhang, Pei (author), Vardon, P.J. (author)Aiming at modelling the mechanical behaviour of soil-rock mixtures accurately and efficiently, a coupled MPM-DEM formulation combining the material point method (MPM) and the discrete element method (DEM) is proposed. It is solved concurrently via the contact force linking the two individual methods. Specifically, the soil is modelled with...journal article 2023

(author), Xiao, Huijie (author), Xin, Zhiming (author), Chen, Feixiang (author)Complexity of forest structure is an important factor contributing to uncertainty in aboveground biomass estimates. In this study, we present a new method for reducing uncertainty in forest aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation based on plot-level terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) point clouds reconstruction. The method estimates the total AGB...journal article 2022

(author)In this paper, a meshfree method called adaptive CTM–RPIM is developed to model geotechnical problems with large deformation. The developed adaptive CTM–RPIM is a combination of the Cartesian transformation method (CTM), the radial point interpolation method (RPIM) and the alpha shape method. To reduce the requirement for meshes, the CTM is...journal article 2021

Zhang, Qian (author), Su, Min (author), Yao, Peng (author), Chen, Yongping (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Tidal currents belong to the main driving forces shaping the bathymetry of marginal seas. A globally unique radial sand ridge field exists in the South Yellow Sea off the central Jiangsu coast, China. Its formation is related to the distinctive “radial tidal current” pattern at that location. A generally accepted hypothesis is that the ...journal article 2020
