Performance of Artificial Neural Network for Tree Species Identification using Sentinel-2 Data
Abstract: Accurate land cover mapping, especially concerning vegetation, is crucial for effective land use policy planning and sustainable forest management. Hence, achieving accuracy in mapping requires a deep understanding of composition changes, vegetation conditions, and the spatial distribution of tree species. In the spatial context of tree species, it holds significant potential for applications including invasive species monitoring, delineating contaminated areas, and biodiversity conservation. However, traditional methods for tree species identification …

The Role of IoT in Enhancing Soldier Health and Position Awareness: A Comprehensive Overview
Abstract: The soldier health and position detection system (SHPDS) is a wearable system that uses sensors to collect data on the soldier’s health and position. This data is then transmitted to a command center, where it can be used to monitor the soldier’s well-being, track their movements, and provide support and assistance when needed. A potentially revolutionary piece of technology, the SHPDS could completely change how the military functions. The SHPDS …

Tropospheric Variation of Point Refractivity Gradient and Geo-climatic Factor over a Coastal Location in Tropical Nigeria
Abstract: Accurate assessment of refractivity gradient and Geo-climatic factor is crucial for maintaining reliable radio signal propagation in clear-air environments. These parameters are essential for determining the fade margin necessary to ensure a stable and effective wireless radio link, given the unstable nature of the atmosphere through which the signals travel. It is crucial to have accurate knowledge of these characteristics, particularly at microwave antenna heights of around 70 meters, in …
