eBASCS: Disentangling overlapping astronomical sources II, using spatial, spectral, and temporal information

Matching Attributes across Overlapping Heterogeneous Data Sources Using Mutual Information

Identifying matching attributes across heterogeneous data sources is a critical and time-consuming step in integrating the data sources. In this paper, the author proposes a method for matching the most frequently encountered types of attributes across overlapping heterogeneous data sources. The author uses mutual information as a unified measure of dependence on various types of attributes. An...

Planning for Protected Areas Using Spatial and Temporal Metrics

Disentangling How Landscape Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity Affects Savanna Birds

In highly seasonal tropical environments, temporal changes in habitat and resources are a significant determinant of the spatial distribution of species. This study disentangles the effects of spatial and mid to long-term temporal heterogeneity in habitat on the diversity and abundance of savanna birds by testing four competing conceptual models of varying complexity. Focussing on sites in nort...

Measuring spatial - temporal of Yazd urban form using spatial metrics

Abstract Urban form can be affected by diverse factors in different times. Socio- economic, political and physical factors are among the main contributors. So, one of the most important challenges of urban planners is measuring and identifying urban development pattern in order to direct and strengthen it to sustainable pattern and right direction. The case study of the present paper is the ...

Abnormal Action Detection Using Temporal and Spatial Information

This paper presents a method to detect abnormal action by using spatio-temporal features. At first, silhouette images obtained from the background subtraction are separated into the upper part and the lower part. Each part is divided into some blocks so that the number of pixels in each block may be distributed equally. Next, motion features are detected by applying the Fourier transform to tim...
