Human activity recognition is known as the backbone of the development of interactive systems, such as computer games. This process is usually performed by either vision-based or depth sensors. So far, various solutions have been developed for this purpose; however, all the challenges of this process have not been completely resolved.

To address this issue, the Best Scanline Search/Determination (BSS/BSD) field focuses on obtaining the Exterior Orientation Parameters (EOPs) of each individual scanline. Current solutions are often impractical for real-time tasks due to their high time requirements and complexities.

Heavy metal contamination of the plants is known as a source of health threats that are made by their proximities with pollutant soil, water, and air. In this paper, a method was proposed to measure lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) contamination of plant leaves through field spectrometry as a low-cost solution for continuous monitoring.

Selecting the best periods of the year to monitor the habitats of larvae can be effective in better and faster control of malaria outbreaks. In this article, high-risk times for three regions in Iran, including Qaleh-Ganj, Sarbaz and Bashagard counties with a history of malaria prevalence were estimated.

Due to the dynamic nature of the exterior orientation parameters of linear pushbroom satellite imagery and the complexity of reconstructing the epipolar geometry using rigorous sensor models, so far, no epipolar resampling approach has been proposed based on these models. In this paper for the first time it is shown that the orientation of the instantaneous baseline (IB) of conjugate image points (CIPs) in the linear pushbroom satellite imagery can be modeled with high precision in terms of the rows- and the columns-number of CIPs.
