Abstract

This is an introduction of the initial publication of the new Special Section of the MCFNS journal on micro-detail detection and tracking problems and various related interdisciplinary studies in other disciplines, which are deemed to be synergistic or relevant to detection and tracking problems. The initial selection of publications presented here arose from the Smolensk Conference held on Oct. 22, 2012, in Warsaw, Poland. This Special Section originated out of a collaboration between the MCFNS editors and the organizers of the Smolensk Conference, but the submissions of the presented here manuscripts was independent from this organization; all authors submitted their manuscripts independently of each other. This issue contains four of the papers related to the conference. In what follows, I briefly review the background behind the creation of this Special Section series and introduce the papers contained herein.

Author Biography

  • Edwin J Green, Rutgers University
    Ed Green has been the Forest Science Editor since 2004, when he was also elected as Fellow of ASA, and has since been re-appointed to serve a second term. Ed received his BS in Forestry (76) and MS in Silviculture (79) from CESF, Syracuse. While pursuing MS in Silviculture, he took courses in sampling and regression from Mike Cunia, who shifted Ed's interests from Silviculture to Biometrics. Ed got his PhD from Virginia Tech under Harold Burkhart, and then joined Rutgers in 1981. At Rutgers Ed pursued his interest in Bayesian techniques and began to collaborate extensively with Bill Strawderman, a world-renowned expert in empirical Bayes methods, who drew Ed into becoming a more fully committed Bayesian. Ed is one of the founding members of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis. Ed served 3 terms on the Editorial Board of Forest Science. In 2004 he was elected as Fellow of ASA and appointed Editor of Forest Science. He has since been re-appointed, and is the only Editor to serve a second term. Ed will speak on Natural Resource Modeling - The View from Forest Science. In this presentation, he will discuss trends in modeling that he has observed as Associate Editor and Editor of Forest Science. He will include observations on where we've been and where we seem to be going. /p
