Annexin (Anx) family protein is a highly conserved protein family that plays important roles in immune defense of vertebrates and invertebrates against invading pathogens. In this study, a novel Anx was cloned and characterized from the red claw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus. The Open Reading Frame of CqAnxB9 consisted of 930 nucleotide bases pair and encoded 309 amino acids.

Point clouds have become increasingly popular in recent years as an efficient solution. However, the current manual measurement is labor intensive and costly and has high uncertainty.

However, it is still challenging to extract buildings from huge amount of point clouds due to the complicated and incomplete structures, occlusions and local similarities between different categories in a complex environment. Taking the urban and campus scene as examples, this paper presents a versatile and hierarchical semantic-based method for building extraction using LiDAR point clouds.
