Based on fine-resolution sounding observations from the China Radiosonde Network （CRN）, the method used to estimate CBH was modified, and uncertainty analyses indicated that the CBH is good enough. The accuracy of CBH estimation is verified by the comparison between the sounding-derived CBHs and those estimated from the micro-pulse lidar and millimeter-wave cloud radar. As such, the CBH climatology was compiled for the period 2006-16. Overall, the CBH exhibits large geographic variability across China, at both 0800 Local Standard Time （LST） and 2000 LST, irrespective of season. In addition, the summertime cloud base tends to be elevated to higher altitudes in dry regions [i.e., Inner Mongolia and the North China Plain （NCP）]. By comparison, the Tibetan Plateau （TP）, Pearl River Delta （PRD） and Sichuan Basin （SCB） have relatively low CBHs （〈 2.4 km above ground level）. In terms of seasonality, the CBH reaches its maximum in summer and minimum in winter. A low cloud base tends to occur frequently （〉 70%） over the TP, PRD and SCB. In contrast, at most sites over the Yangtze River Delta （YRD） and the NCP, about half the cloud belongs to the high-cloud category. The CBH does not exhibit marked diurnal variation in summer, throughout all CRN sites, probably due to the persistent cloud coverage caused by the East Asia Summer Monsson. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first CBH climatology produced from sounding measurements in China, and provides a useful reference for obtaining observational cloud base information.展开更多

They not only provide users with convenience, but also bring many security issues, such as data sharing and privacy issue. In this paper, we present an access control system with privilege separation based on privacy protection(PS-ACS). In the PS-ACS scheme, we divide users into private domain(PRD) and public domain(PUD) logically. In PRD, to achieve read access permission and write access permission, we adopt the Key-Aggregate Encryption(KAE) and the Improved Attribute-based Signature(IABS) respectively. In PUD, we construct a new multi-authority ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption(CP-ABE) scheme with efficient decryption to avoid the issues of single point of failure and complicated key distribution, and design an efficient attribute revocation method for it. The analysis and simulation result show that our scheme is feasible and superior to protect users' privacy in cloud-based services.展开更多

Results show that clouds occupied the sky 41% of the time. Significant seasonal variations in CF were found with a maximum/minimum during winter/summer and similar magnitudes of CF in spring and autumn. A distinct diurnal cycle in the overall mean CF was seen. Total, daytime, and nighttime annual mean CBHs were 3.05 ± 2.73 km, 2.46 ± 2.08 kin, and 3.51 ± 3.07 km, respectively. The lowest/highest CBH occurred around noon/midnight. Cirrus clouds were present ～36.2% of the time at night with the percentage increased in summer and decreased in spring. Annual mean values for cirrus geometrical properties were 8.89 ± 1.65 km, 9.80 ± 1.70 kin, 10.73 ± 1.86 km and 1.83± 0.91 km for the base, mid-cloud, top height, and the thickness, respectively. Seasonal variations in cirrus geometrical properties show a maximum/minimum in summer/winter for all cirrus geometrical parameters. The mean cirrus lidar ratio for all cirrus cases in our study was ～ 25 ± 17 sr, with a smooth seasonal trend. The cirrus optical depth ranged from 0.001 to 2.475, with a mean of 0.34 ± 0.33. Sub-visual, thin, and dense cirrus were observed in ～12%, 43%, and 45% of the cases, respectively. More frequent, thicker cirrus clouds occurred in summer than in any other season. The properties of cirrus cloud over the site are compared with other lidar-based retrievals of midlatitude cirrus cloud properties.展开更多

The principle of the electronic toll collection system is that the sensor emits radio waves touching the e-tag within a certain range, the e-tag will respond to the radio waves by induction, and the sensor will read and write information of the vehicles. Although the RFID technology is popularly used in campus management systems, there is no e-tag technology application used in a campus parking system. In this paper, we use the e-tag technology on a campus parking management system based on the cloud-based construction. By this, it helps to achieve automated and standardized management of the campus parking system, enhance management efficiency, reduce the residence time of the vehicles at the entrances and exits, and improve the efficiency of vehicles parked at the same time.展开更多

文摘Antarctic clouds and their vertical structures play a significant role in influencing the regional radiation budget and ice mass balance;however,substantial uncertainties persist.Continuous monitoring and research are essential for enhancing our understanding of these clouds.This study presents an analysis of cloud occurrence frequency and cloud-base heights(CBHs)at Zhongshan Station in East Antarctica for the first time,utilizing data from a C12 ceilometer covering the period from January 2022 to December 2023.The findings indicate that low clouds dominate at Zhongshan Station,with an average cloud occurrence frequency of 75%.Both the cloud occurrence frequency and CBH distribution exhibit distinct seasonal variations.Specifically,the cloud occurrence frequency during winter is higher than that observed in summer,while winter clouds can develop to greater heights.Over the Southern Ocean,the cloud occurrence frequency during summer surpasses that at Zhongshan Station,with clouds featuring lower CBHs and larger extinction coefficients.Furthermore,it is noteworthy that CBHs derived from the ceilometer are basically consistent with those obtained from radiosondes.Importantly,ERA5 demonstrates commendable performance in retrieving CBHs at Zhongshan Station when compared with ceilometer measurements.

文摘Clouds are critical to the global radiation budget and hydrological cycle, but knowledge is still poor concerning the observed climatology of cloud-base height （CBH） in China. Based on fine-resolution sounding observations from the China Radiosonde Network （CRN）, the method used to estimate CBH was modified, and uncertainty analyses indicated that the CBH is good enough. The accuracy of CBH estimation is verified by the comparison between the sounding-derived CBHs and those estimated from the micro-pulse lidar and millimeter-wave cloud radar. As such, the CBH climatology was compiled for the period 2006-16. Overall, the CBH exhibits large geographic variability across China, at both 0800 Local Standard Time （LST） and 2000 LST, irrespective of season. In addition, the summertime cloud base tends to be elevated to higher altitudes in dry regions [i.e., Inner Mongolia and the North China Plain （NCP）]. By comparison, the Tibetan Plateau （TP）, Pearl River Delta （PRD） and Sichuan Basin （SCB） have relatively low CBHs （〈 2.4 km above ground level）. In terms of seasonality, the CBH reaches its maximum in summer and minimum in winter. A low cloud base tends to occur frequently （〉 70%） over the TP, PRD and SCB. In contrast, at most sites over the Yangtze River Delta （YRD） and the NCP, about half the cloud belongs to the high-cloud category. The CBH does not exhibit marked diurnal variation in summer, throughout all CRN sites, probably due to the persistent cloud coverage caused by the East Asia Summer Monsson.

文摘The satellite-based quantification of cloud radiative forcing remains poorly understood,due largely to the limitation or uncertainties in characterizing cloud-base height(CBH).Here,we use the CBH data from radiosonde measurements over China in combination with the collocated cloud-top height(CTH) and cloud properties from MODIS/Aqua to quantify the impact of CBH on shortwave cloud radiative forcing(SWCRF).The climatological mean SWCRF at the surface(SWCRFSUR),at the top of the atmosphere(SWCRFTOA),and in the atmosphere(SWCRFATM) are estimated to be-97.14,-84.35,and 12.79 W m^(-2),respectively for the summers spanning 2010 to 2018 over China.To illustrate the role of the cloud base,we assume four scenarios according to vertical profile patterns of cloud optical depth(COD).Using the CTH and cloud properties from MODIS alone results in large uncertainties for the estimation of SWCRFATM,compared with those under scenarios that consider the CBH.Furthermore,the biases of the CERES estimation of SWCRFATM tend to increase in the presence of thick clouds with low CBH.Additionally,the discrepancy of SWCRFATM relative to that calculated without consideration of CBH varies according to the vertical profile of COD.When a uniform COD vertical profile is assumed,the largest SWCRF discrepancies occur during the early morning or late afternoon.By comparison,the two-point COD vertical distribution assumption has the largest uncertainties occurring at noon when the solar irradiation peaks.These findings justify the urgent need to consider the cloud vertical structures when calculating the SWCRF which is otherwise neglected.
文摘With the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence(GenAI),the task of story visualization,which transforms natural language narratives into coherent and consistent image sequences,has attracted growing research attention.However,existing methods still face limitations in balancing multi-frame character consistency and generation efficiency,which restricts their feasibility for large-scale practical applications.To address this issue,this study proposes a modular cloud-based distributed system built on Stable Diffusion.By separating the character generation and story generation processes,and integratingmulti-feature control techniques,a cachingmechanism,and an asynchronous task queue architecture,the system enhances generation efficiency and scalability.The experimental design includes both automated and human evaluations of character consistency,performance testing,and multinode simulation.The results show that the proposed system outperforms the baseline model StoryGen in both CLIP-I and human evaluation metrics.In terms of performance,under the experimental environment of this study,dual-node deployment reduces average waiting time by approximately 19%,while the four-node simulation further reduces it by up to 65%.Overall,this study demonstrates the advantages of cloud-distributed GenAI in maintaining character consistency and reducing generation latency,highlighting its potential value inmulti-user collaborative story visualization applications.

文摘Precisely forecasting the performance of Deep Learning(DL)models,particularly in critical areas such as Uniform Resource Locator(URL)-based threat detection,aids in improving systems developed for difficult tasks.In cybersecurity,recognizing harmful URLs is vital to lowering risks associated with phishing,malware,and other online-based attacks.Since it directly affects the model’s capacity to differentiate between benign and harmful URLs,finding the optimum mix of hyperparameters in DL models is a significant difficulty.Two commonly used architectures for sequential and spatial data processing,Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)/Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU)and Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)/Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)models are targeted in this study to have higher predictive capacity by modifying crucial hyperparameters such as learning rate,batch size,and dropout rate using cloud capability.Research finds the best settings for the models by testing 50 dropout rates(between 0.1 and 0.5)with different learning rates and batch sizes.Performances were measured in the form of accuracy,precision,recall,F1-score,and errors such as Mean Absolute Error(MAE),Mean Squared Error(MSE),Root Mean Squared Error(RMSE)and Mean Absolute Percent Error(MAPE).In our results,CNN/LSTM performed better often than LSTM/GRU,with up to 10%better F1-score and much lower MAPE when the learning rate was 0.001 and the dropout rate was 0.2.These results show the value of fine-tuning hyperparameters to increase model performance and reduce errors.Higher on many of the parameters,CNN/LSTM architecture became obvious as the more trustworthy one.It also discussed the importance of DL in enhancing URL attack detection mechanisms to provide increased accuracy and precision for real-world cybersecurity.

文摘Improved delay detached eddy simulation is performed to explore the flow features and aero-optical effects of turrets with different bottom cylinder height at a freestream Mach number Ma=0.7.Analysis of both the time-averaged and instantaneous flow features demonstrate that the shock motion causes the oscillation of separated shear layer.In flow analysis,two unsteady shock-wake-correlated modes are discerned:the asymmetric shifting mode and the symmetric breathing mode.With the increase of cylinder height,the relative energy of shock gradually increases,which goes from 26%to 59%.The proper orthogonal decomposition analysis yields the single frequency peak for the two dominant modes.The frequency peaks of shifting mode are generally at StD<0.23,while the frequency peaks of breathing mode are generally at StD>0.26.The dynamic mode decomposition analysis gives range of frequency peak.The frequency peaks of shifting mode are in the range of StD=0.11-0.23,and the frequency peaks of breathing mode are in range of StD=0.26-0.41.Optical distortion analysis indicates that the distortion calculated in five cases is linked to the breathing mode.When the beam passes through the turbulent wake,it exhibits the high-frequency and high-amplitude characteristics.

文摘This study investigated biomass allocation in young stands of European beech(Fagus sylvatica L.)and Norway spruce(Picea abies(L.)Karst.)across 31 forest sites in the Western Carpathians,Slovakia.A total of 541 trees aged 2–10 years,originating from natural regeneration and planting,were destructively sampled to quantify biomass in four components:foliage,branches,stems,and roots.Generalized non-linear least squares(GNLS)models with a weighing variance function outperformed log-transformed seemingly unrelated regression(SUR)models in terms of accuracy and robustness,especially for foliage and branch biomass.When using height as the predictor,SUR models tended to underestimate biomass in planted beech,leading to notable underprediction of aboveground and total biomass.Biomass allocation patterns varied significantly by species and regeneration origin.Using a non-linear system of equations and component ratio modelling,we found out that planted spruce displayed low variability and a consistent dominance of needle biomass,while naturally regenerated beech showed greater variability and a higher proportion of stem biomass,reflecting stronger competition-driven vertical growth.Interspecific differences in total biomass were more pronounced when using tree height,with spruce generally exhibiting greater biomass than beech at equivalent heights.Overall,stem base diameter marginally outperformed tree height as a predictor of biomass.However,tree height-based models showed strong performance and are particularly suitable for integration with remote sensing applications.These findings can directly support forest managers and modellers in comparing regeneration methods and biomass estimation approaches for early-stage stand development,carbon accounting,and remote sensing calibration.

文摘Modular truss space deployable antennas are key for future large aperture,high precision antennas,already proven in various in-orbit applications globally.This paper introduces a design method for a tetrahedral basic unit mechanism with dual height positioning nodes.A parametric model is established,and its DOF are analyzed to confirm the mechanism's validity.The new tetrahedral basic unit mechanism constructed by this method is a single DOF mechanism and can locate different parabolic node heights.In order to further adapt to the parabolic and large aperture requirements of the deployable antenna of the truss,a combination unit and modular unit mechanism are developed based on this tetrahedral unit.The DOF and deployment characteristics of the modular unit mechanism are analyzed and validated through simulations.Various networking methods for the modular units are proposed,followed by a comprehensive performance comparison of different modular truss deployable antenna mechanisms.A prototype model of the modular unit mechanism is also developed,with deployment experiments demonstrating the mechanism's simplicity,low DOF,and large deployment ratio.The findings of this study provide a theoretical and technical basis for the future design and development of truss deployable antenna mechanisms.
文摘The concept of sharing of personal health data over cloud storage in a healthcare-cyber physical system has become popular in recent times as it improves access quality.The privacy of health data can only be preserved by keeping it in an encrypted form,but it affects usability and flexibility in terms of effective search.Attribute-based searchable encryption(ABSE)has proven its worth by providing fine-grained searching capabilities in the shared cloud storage.However,it is not practical to apply this scheme to the devices with limited resources and storage capacity because a typical ABSE involves serious computations.In a healthcare cloud-based cyber-physical system(CCPS),the data is often collected by resource-constraint devices;therefore,here also,we cannot directly apply ABSE schemes.In the proposed work,the inherent computational cost of the ABSE scheme is managed by executing the computationally intensive tasks of a typical ABSE scheme on the blockchain network.Thus,it makes the proposed scheme suitable for online storage and retrieval of personal health data in a typical CCPS.With the assistance of blockchain technology,the proposed scheme offers two main benefits.First,it is free from a trusted authority,which makes it genuinely decentralized and free from a single point of failure.Second,it is computationally efficient because the computational load is now distributed among the consensus nodes in the blockchain network.Specifically,the task of initializing the system,which is considered the most computationally intensive,and the task of partial search token generation,which is considered as the most frequent operation,is now the responsibility of the consensus nodes.This eliminates the need of the trusted authority and reduces the burden of data users,respectively.Further,in comparison to existing decentralized fine-grained searchable encryption schemes,the proposed scheme has achieved a significant reduction in storage and computational cost for the secret key associated with users.It has been verified both theoretically and practically in the performance analysis section.

文摘This paper presents a cloud-based data-driven design optimization system,named DADOS,to help engineers and researchers improve a design or product easily and efficiently.DADOS has nearly 30 key algorithms,including the design of experiments,surrogate models,model validation and selection,prediction,optimization,and sensitivity analysis.Moreover,it also includes an exclusive ensemble surrogate modeling technique,the extended hybrid adaptive function,which can make use of the advantages of each surrogate and eliminate the effort of selecting the appropriate individual surrogate.To improve ease of use,DADOS provides a user-friendly graphical user interface and employed flow-based programming so that users can conduct design optimization just by dragging,dropping,and connecting algorithm blocks into a workflow instead of writing massive code.In addition,DADOS allows users to visualize the results to gain more insights into the design problems,allows multi-person collaborating on a project at the same time,and supports multi-disciplinary optimization.This paper also details the architecture and the user interface of DADOS.Two examples were employed to demonstrate how to use DADOS to conduct data-driven design optimization.Since DADOS is a cloud-based system,anyone can access DADOS at www.dados.com.cn using their web browser without the need for installation or powerful hardware.

文摘With the rapid development of computer technology, cloud-based services have become a hot topic. They not only provide users with convenience, but also bring many security issues, such as data sharing and privacy issue. In this paper, we present an access control system with privilege separation based on privacy protection(PS-ACS). In the PS-ACS scheme, we divide users into private domain(PRD) and public domain(PUD) logically. In PRD, to achieve read access permission and write access permission, we adopt the Key-Aggregate Encryption(KAE) and the Improved Attribute-based Signature(IABS) respectively. In PUD, we construct a new multi-authority ciphertext policy attribute-based encryption(CP-ABE) scheme with efficient decryption to avoid the issues of single point of failure and complicated key distribution, and design an efficient attribute revocation method for it. The analysis and simulation result show that our scheme is feasible and superior to protect users' privacy in cloud-based services.

文摘Cloud-based satellite and terrestrial spectrum shared networks(CB-STSSN)combines the triple advantages of efficient and flexible net-work management of heterogeneous cloud access(H-CRAN),vast coverage of satellite networks,and good communication quality of terrestrial networks.Thanks to the complementary coverage characteristics,any-time and anywhere high-speed communications can be achieved to meet the various needs of users.The scarcity of spectrum resources is a common prob-lem in both satellite and terrestrial networks.In or-der to improve resource utilization,the spectrum is shared not only within each component but also be-tween satellite beams and terrestrial cells,which intro-duces inter-component interferences.To this end,this paper first proposes an analytical framework which considers the inter-component interferences induced by spectrum sharing(SS).An intelligent SS scheme based on radio map(RM)consisting of LSTM-based beam prediction(BP),transfer learning-based spec-trum prediction(SP)and joint non-preemptive prior-ity and preemptive priority(J-NPAP)-based propor-tional fair spectrum allocation is than proposed.The simulation result shows that the spectrum utilization rate of CB-STSSN is improved and user blocking rate and waiting probability are decreased by the proposed scheme.

文摘The cloud fraction （CF） and cloud-base heights （CBHs）, and cirrus properties, over a site in southeastern China from June 2008 to May 2009, are examined by a ground-based lidar. Results show that clouds occupied the sky 41% of the time. Significant seasonal variations in CF were found with a maximum/minimum during winter/summer and similar magnitudes of CF in spring and autumn. A distinct diurnal cycle in the overall mean CF was seen. Total, daytime, and nighttime annual mean CBHs were 3.05 ± 2.73 km, 2.46 ± 2.08 kin, and 3.51 ± 3.07 km, respectively. The lowest/highest CBH occurred around noon/midnight. Cirrus clouds were present ～36.2% of the time at night with the percentage increased in summer and decreased in spring. Annual mean values for cirrus geometrical properties were 8.89 ± 1.65 km, 9.80 ± 1.70 kin, 10.73 ± 1.86 km and 1.83± 0.91 km for the base, mid-cloud, top height, and the thickness, respectively. Seasonal variations in cirrus geometrical properties show a maximum/minimum in summer/winter for all cirrus geometrical parameters. The mean cirrus lidar ratio for all cirrus cases in our study was ～ 25 ± 17 sr, with a smooth seasonal trend. The cirrus optical depth ranged from 0.001 to 2.475, with a mean of 0.34 ± 0.33. Sub-visual, thin, and dense cirrus were observed in ～12%, 43%, and 45% of the cases, respectively. More frequent, thicker cirrus clouds occurred in summer than in any other season. The properties of cirrus cloud over the site are compared with other lidar-based retrievals of midlatitude cirrus cloud properties.
文摘An e-tag used on the freeway is a kind of passive sensors composed of sensors and radio- frequency identification （RFID） tags. The principle of the electronic toll collection system is that the sensor emits radio waves touching the e-tag within a certain range, the e-tag will respond to the radio waves by induction, and the sensor will read and write information of the vehicles. Although the RFID technology is popularly used in campus management systems, there is no e-tag technology application used in a campus parking system. In this paper, we use the e-tag technology on a campus parking management system based on the cloud-based construction. By this, it helps to achieve automated and standardized management of the campus parking system, enhance management efficiency, reduce the residence time of the vehicles at the entrances and exits, and improve the efficiency of vehicles parked at the same time.

文摘Mixed redundancy strategies are generally used in cloud-based systems,with different node switch mechanisms from traditional fault-tolerant strategies.Existing studies often concentrate on optimizing a single strategy in cloud computing environment and ignore the impact of mixed redundancy strategies.Therefore,a model is proposed to evaluate and optimize the reliability and performance of cloud-based degraded systems subject to a mixed active and cold standby redundancy strategy.In this strategy,node switching is triggered by a continual monitoring and detection mechanism when active nodes fail.To evaluate the transient availability and the expected job completion rate of systems with such kind of strategy,a continuous-time Markov chain model is built on the state transition process and a numerical method is used to solve the model.To choose the optimal redundancy for the mixed strategy under system constraints,a greedy search algorithm is proposed after sensitivity analysis.Illustrative examples were presented to explain the process of calculating the transient probability of each system state and in turn,the availability and performance of the whole system.It was shown that the near-optimal redundancy solution could be obtained using the optimizationmethod.The comparison with optimization of the traditional mixed redundancy strategy proved that the system behavior was different using different kinds of mixed strategies and less redundancy was assigned for the new type of mixed strategy under the same system constraint.

文摘Plant height(PH),primary lateral branch length(PBL),and branch number(BN)are architectural components impacting peanut pod yield,biomass production,and adaptivity to mechanical harvesting.In this study,a recombinant inbred population consisting of 181 individual lines was used to determine genetic controls of PH,PBL,and BN across three environments.Phenotypic data collected from the population demonstrated continuous distributions and transgressive segregation patterns.Broad-sense heritability of PH,PBL,and BN was found to be 0.87,0.88,and 0.92,respectively.Unconditional individual environmental analysis revealed 35 additive QTLs with phenotypic variation explained(PVE)ranging from 4.57 to 21.68%.A two-round meta-analysis resulted in 24consensus and 19 unique QTLs.Five unique QTLs exhibited pleiotropic effects and their genetic bases(pleiotropy or tight linkage)were evaluated.A joint analysis was performed to estimate the QTL by environment interaction(QEI)effects on PH,PBL,and BN,collectively explaining phenotypic variations of 10.80,11.02,and 7.89%,respectively.We identified 3 major and stable QTL regions(uq9-3,uq10-2,and uq16-1)on chromosomes 9,10,and 16,spanning1.43-1.53 Mb genomic regions.Candidate genes involved in phytohormones biosynthesis,signaling,and cell wall development were proposed to regulate these morphological traits.These results provide valuable information for further genetic studies and the development of molecular markers applicable to peanut architecture improvement.

文摘Accurately forecasting the triple point(TP)path is essential for analyzing blast loads and assessing the destructive effectiveness of the height of burst explosion.Empirical models that describe the TP path under normal temperature and pressure environments are commonly employed;however,in certain configurations,such as at high-altitudes(HAs),the environment may involve low temperature and pressure conditions.The present study develops a theoretical prediction model for the TP path under reduced pressure and temperature conditions,utilizing the image bursts method,reflected polar analysis,and dimensional analysis.The model's accuracy is evaluated through numerical simulations and experimental data.Results indicate that the prediction model effectively evaluates the TP path under diminished temperature and pressure conditions,with most predictions falling within a±15%deviation.It was found that the TP height increases with altitude.As the altitude rises from 0 m to 10,000 m,the average TP height increases by 61.7%,87.9%,109.0%,and 134.3%for the scaled height of burst of 1.5 m,2.0 m,2.5 m,and 3.0 m,respectively.Moreover,the variation in TP height under HA environments closely mirrors that observed under corresponding reduced pressure conditions.In HA environments,only the effect of low-pressure conditions on the TP path needs to be considered,as the environmental lowtemperature has a minimal effect.

文摘Timely identification and forecast of maize tasseling date(TD)are very important for agronomic management,yield prediction,and crop phenotype estimation.Remote sensing-based phenology monitoring has mostly relied on time series spectral index data of the complete growth season.A recent development in maize phenology detection research is to use canopy height(CH)data instead of spectral indices,but its robustness in multiple treatments and stages has not been confirmed.Meanwhile,because data of a complete growth season are needed,the need for timely in-season TD identification remains unmet.This study proposed an approach to timely identify and forecast the maize TD.We obtained RGB and light detection and ranging(Li DAR)data using the unmanned aerial vehicle platform over plots of different maize varieties under multiple treatments.After CH estimation,the feature points(inflection point)from the Logistic curve of the CH time series were extracted as TD.We examined the impact of various independent variables(day of year vs.accumulated growing degree days(AGDD)),sensors(RGB and Li DAR),time series denoise methods,different feature points,and temporal resolution on TD identification.Lastly,we used early CH time series data to predict height growth and further forecast TD.The results showed that using the 99th percentile of plot scale digital surface model and the minimum digital terrain model from Li DAR to estimate maize CH was the most stable across treatments and stages(R~2:0.928 to0.943).For TD identification,the best performance was achieved by using Li DAR data with AGDD as the independent variable,combined with the knee point method,resulting in RMSE of 2.95 d.The high accuracy was maintained at temporal resolutions as coarse as 14 d.TD forecast got more accurate as the CH time series extended.The optimal timing for forecasting TD was when the CH exceeded half of its maximum.Using only Li DAR CH data below 1.6 m and empirical growth rate estimates,the forecasted TD showed an RMSE of 3.90 d.In conclusion,this study exploited the growth characteristics of maize height to provide a practical approach for the timely identification and forecast of maize TD.
