Article Synopsis
- Human thermal stress indices are crucial for public health and environmental management, especially due to climate change and extreme weather events.
- Current thermal indices often fail to capture the variability of thermal comfort over time, and there is a lack of comprehensive, high-resolution global datasets.
- A new metric called Thermal Stress Duration (TSD) has been introduced, alongside a high-resolution dataset (HiGTS) that provides hourly maps of thermal stress metrics across the globe from 2000 to 2023.
Fingerprinting-based Wi-Fi indoor positioning has great potential for positioning in GPS-denied areas. However, establishing a fingerprinting map (also called a radio map) prior to positioning (site survey) is normally a labor-intensive task. This paper proposes a method for easy site survey without need for any extra hardware.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA target recognition method of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is proposed via matching attributed scattering centers (ASCs) to binary target regions. The ASCs extracted from the test image are predicted as binary regions. In detail, each ASC is first transformed to the image domain based on the ASC model.
