An archaeological excavation of four areas approximately 0.39ha in total, of land at Watery Lane, Church Crookham, Hampshire, was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November and December 2016. It followed the recording of two Pill Boxes and a trial trench evaluation of a wider development area. In all four areas archaeological features were identified. The artefactual evidence indicated five phases of archaeological activity, with features dating from the late prehistoric, medieval, medieval/post-medieval, and post-medieval to modern wartime period. Several heavily truncated isolated prehistoric features were identified, as were field boundary ditches of medieval to the post-medieval date. Many undated, but presumed modern, postholes were found across the site. The postholes may have been the result of an extensive network of Second World War temporary timber structures known as tactical obstacles (including barbed wire entanglements and tank proof obstacles) erected during anti-invasion defence works. These structures were likely to have been part of the important Stop Line Defence network, Line A of the GHQ (General Headquarters) line of defences, which were planned to slow down a ground invasion.

Excavation in Area 1 identified an enclosed settlement of Middle–Late Iron Age and Early Roman date, which included a roundhouse gully and deep storage pits with complex fills. A group of undated four-post structures, situated in the east of Area 1, appeared to represent a specialised area of storage or crop processing of probable Middle Iron Age date. A sequence of re-cutting and reorganisation of ditches and boundaries in the Late Iron Age/Early Roman period was followed, possibly after a considerable hiatus, by a phase of later Roman activity, Late Iron Age reorganisation appeared to be associated with the abandonment of a roundhouse, and a number of structured pit deposits may also relate to this period of change. Seven Late Iron Age cremation burials were associated with a contemporary boundary ditch which crossed Area 1. Two partly-exposed, L-shaped ditches may represent a later Roman phase of enclosed settlement and a slight shift in settlement focus. An isolated inhumation burial within the northern margins of Area 1 was tentatively dated by grave goods to the Early Saxon period.<br/> Area 2 contained a possible trackway and field boundary ditches, of which one was of confirmed Late Iron Age/Early Roman date. A short posthole alignment in Area 2 was undated, and may be an earlier prehistoric feature.

In March 2016, archaeological excavation was undertaken at four areas of land at Oxlease Farm, Cupernham Lane, Romsey, Hampshire. The fieldwork recovered a lithic assemblage from all four excavation areas, although the majority was recorded from a single flint-bearing deposit in Area 1. The assemblage included several elements that may belong to the Terminal Upper Palaeolithic Long Blade industry, as well as three flints of Mesolithic date. A small number of undated features were also uncovered, including pits and possible postholes, which may have been of a prehistoric date. A small and residual assemblage of Late Roman (3rd – 4th century AD) pottery was also recovered from probable medieval/post-medieval field boundary ditches or plough furrows.

This study aimed to propose an approach for orchard trees segmentation using aerial images based on a deep learning convolutional neural network variant, namely the U-net network. The purpose was the automated detection and localization of the canopy of orchard trees under various conditions (i.e., different seasons, different tree ages, different levels of weed coverage). The implemented dataset was composed of images from three different walnut orchards. The achieved variability of the dataset resulted in obtaining images that fell under seven different use cases. The best-trained model achieved 91%, 90%, and 87% accuracy for training, validation, and testing, respectively. The trained model was also tested on never-before-seen orthomosaic images or orchards based on two methods (oversampling and undersampling) in order to tackle issues with out-of-the-field boundary transparent pixels from the image. Even though the training dataset did not contain orthomosaic images, it achieved performance levels that reached up to 99%, demonstrating the robustness of the proposed approach.

In this study, we used Cricket equipments based on wireless sensor networks to study the pursuit-evasion strategy of multi-robots in a continuous map. In order to improve the efficiency, two new pursuit-evasion strategies were proposed. To meet the need of a continuous map, a greedy algorithm was utilized to deal with boundary problem when a pursuer or an evader was near the field boundary. The statistical results show the converging-attack pursuit strategy outperforms in pursuing the evader with different escaping strategies, such as randomly moving, active escaping strategy and vector-wards escaping strategy. The vector-wards escaping strategy is also effective in delaying the capture of evaders.

Excavation revealed four distinct phases of Roman enclosure ditches, of which the earliest were of mid-late 1st-century date. These were subsequently recut and augmented during the later 1st and 2nd centuries, to create a series of contiguous rectilinear enclosures, not all of which may have been in contemporary use. A notable density of finds within the north-central part of the excavated area, together with evidence of a small post-ring structure, suggested a focus of domestic activity. A later phase of post-medieval activity was represented by a probable field boundary ditch and a post-built structure of irregular rectilinear plan.
