Continuous Scale Transformations of Linear Features Using Simulated Annealing-Based Morphing

Continuous Scale Transformations of Linear Features Using Simulated Annealing-Based Morphing

This paper presents a new method for use in performing continuous scale transformations of linear features using Simulated Annealing-Based Morphing (SABM). This study addresses two key problems in the continuous generalization of linear features by morphing, specifically the detection of characteristic points and correspondence matching. First, an algorithm that performs robust detection of cha...

The Simplex-simulated Annealing Approach to Continuous Non-linear Optimization

-An algorithm suitable for the global optimization of nonconvex continuous unconstrained and constrained functions is presented. The scheme is based on a proposal by Press and Teukolsky (Comput. Phys. 5(4), 426, 1991) that combines the non-linear simplex and simulated annealing algorithms. A non-equilibrium variant will also be presented, whereby the cooling schedule is enforced as soon as an i...

Hyperspectral Image Classification Based on the Fusion of the Features Generated by Sparse Representation Methods, Linear and Non-linear Transformations

The ability of recording the high resolution spectral signature of earth surface would be the most important feature of hyperspectral sensors. On the other hand, classification of hyperspectral imagery is known as one of the methods to extracting information from these remote sensing data sources. Despite the high potential of hyperspectral images in the information content point of view, there...

Morphing Linear Features Based on Their Entire Structures

Image Motion Analysis Using Scale Space Approximation and Simulated Annealing

Abs t r ac t . This paper addresses the problem of motion estimation in sequences of remotely sensed images of the sea. When the temporal sampling period is low the estimation of the velocity field can be done by finding the correspondence between structures detected in the images. The scale space aproximation of these structures using the wavelet multiressolution is presented. The corresponden...
