Robust local feature descriptor for 3D point cloud analysis using siamese networks

Abstract Point cloud processing, as a growing research domain in machine vision, has gained increasing importance with the advancement of low-cost 3D sensors. Utilizing 3D point cloud data for tasks like 3D object detection and robotic localization entails challenges such as occl...

Experimental and GEP-based assessment of steel fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete containing waste glass aggregate and silica fume

This study investigates the combined use of waste glass aggregate (WGA, 0–60% volumetric replacement of natural coarse aggregate) and silica fume (SF, 0–15% replacement of cement) in steel fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete. The experimental program covered fresh, mechanic...

The effects of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the physiological traits in the sour tea plant (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.)

In order to compare the effects of iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) and iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4 NPs) on physiological traits and antioxidant activity evaluation of sour tea ( Hibiscus sabdariffa L.), an experiment was conducted. Typically, when Fe 3 O 4 NPs were applied to the l...
