  • Mapillary Based Plant Distributions of Ethnobotanical Afforestation
    Mapillary based plant distributions of ethnobotanical afforestation. Dr Bheemaiah, Anil Kumar, A.B Seattle W.A 98125 [email protected] Abstract: Mapillary is an open-source code base for the use of GPU based Deep Learning for Semantic Segmentation of wild images. We propose the creation of an autonomous drone for the automated capture of scientific images of medicinal and edible plants to create geotagged maps of plants on Mapillary.com with additional tags on plant sizes, species, and edible and medicinal value. This information is used in the planning of sponsored five or more level afforestation as social and academic forestry for edible and medicinal value. The same research is also useful in planning afforestation on Mars. Keywords: Miyawakis, Mapillary, Seamless Segmentation, FPN, ResNet50, Redtail, Edible and ​ Medicinal Plants, Geotag What: Mapillary is deep learning, Nvidia inception venture to segment user loaded images and embed into a GIS database, for auto navigation end uses, in this paper we explore plant geotags with ontologies for a database of plant images and distributions for location information of edible and medicinal plants. This service is to be unified with apps like Google Lens and a host of image reverse search engine APIs, to return ontologies of the plant database, including plant density distributions and historical data of distributions, for invasive plant information. How: Mapillary uses an open-source code base, there are three tasks involved, with user stories. 1. Addition of search APIs to ROI determination in mask head segmentation phase to add tags with ontologies, like size, species, and other ontologies.

  • 2008 OAH Annual Meeting • New York 1
    Welcome ear colleagues in history, welcome to the one-hundred-fi rst annual meeting of the Organiza- tion of American Historians in New York. Last year we met in our founding site of Minneap- Dolis-St. Paul, before that in the national capital of Washington, DC. On the present occasion wew meet in the world’s media capital, but in a very special way: this is a bridge-and-tunnel aff air, not limitedli to just the island of Manhattan. Bridges and tunnels connect the island to the larger metropolitan region. For a long time, the peoplep in Manhattan looked down on people from New Jersey and the “outer boroughs”— Brooklyn, theth Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island—who came to the island via those bridges and tunnels. Bridge- and-tunnela people were supposed to lack the sophistication and style of Manhattan people. Bridge- and-tunnela people also did the work: hard work, essential work, beautifully creative work. You will sees this work in sessions and tours extending beyond midtown Manhattan. Be sure not to miss, for example,e “From Mambo to Hip-Hop: Th e South Bronx Latin Music Tour” and the bus tour to my own Photo by Steve Miller Steve by Photo cityc of Newark, New Jersey. Not that this meeting is bridge-and-tunnel only. Th anks to the excellent, hard working program committee, chaired by Debo- rah Gray White, and the local arrangements committee, chaired by Mark Naison and Irma Watkins-Owens, you can chose from an abundance of off erings in and on historic Manhattan: in Harlem, the Cooper Union, Chinatown, the Center for Jewish History, the Brooklyn Historical Society, the New-York Historical Society, the American Folk Art Museum, and many other sites of great interest.

  • Miyawaki Method and Science
    ENTREPRISE URBAN FORESTS - 2021 Miyawaki Method and Science Is the Miyawaki Method based on strong scientific grounds? Are the commonly reported figures credible? For example when saying that Miyawaki urban forests grow 10x faster, 30x denser, with 20x more biodiversity? AKIRA MIYAWAKI, THE SCIENTIST Akira Miyawaki, who developed the method of the same name, is a renowned Japanese botanist. He carried out numerous field researches. First in Germany, where he worked with Reinold Tuexen on the concept of potential natural vegetation at the Federal Institute for Vegetation Mapping. The work forms a firm ground of knowledge that is still relevant today for the whole of Europe. He then carried out the same work in Japan, where he produced for the entire country maps of existing vegetation as well as maps of potential natural vegetation, vegetation that he found at relict sites where native forests are still present. His maps are still used for scientific research. They serve as a model for reconstructing degraded natural habitats and the native plant environment. His fieldworks were conducted over a period of 10 years, and compiled in a 10-volume publication. His work is appreciated for its contribution to phytosociological research (community of plants living together), by allowing comparison of the architecture and characteristics of the vegetation of different areas of the world. Much of his scientific work, and related researches, are published in Japanese, and not translated in English. This has not prevented him from achieving a remarkable scientific career, with his reputation crossing borders over many years. CREATING NATIVE FORESTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION The originality of Miyawaki's work is that he described the distance between current forest vegetation and potential natural vegetation.

  • Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
    35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed.
