A Novel Distance Measure for Ocean Reconstruction from Sparse Observations Demonstrated on the Atlantic
ثبت نشده
چکیده
We introduce a distance measure for use in scattered data approximation. Reconstruction from sparse, non-uniformly distributed data should utilize application-specific knowledge to produce highquality results. Our distance measure is considering the specific problem of computing reconstructions from sparse observational paleoceanography data, where it is possible to consider certain problem-specific knowledge to produce reconstructions of scientific value. Our approach to the problem combines the new distance measure with the well-known moving least squares (MLS) method. We demonstrate that our approach produces high-quality results, by contrasting our distance measure against Euclidean and geodesic distances. We have used our method to generate reconstructions from data in the Atlantic Ocean.

In the past years, a number of algorithms have been introduced for synthesis aperture radar (SAR) imaging. However, they all suffer from the same problem: The data size to process is considerably large. In recent years, compressive sensing and sparse representation of the signal in SAR has gained a significant research interest. This method offers the advantage of reducing the sampling rate, bu...
متن کاملOcean Wave Reconstruction Algorithms Based on Spatio-temporal Data Acquired by a Flash LIDAR Camera
We report on the development of free surface reconstruction algorithms to predict ocean waves, based on spatial observations made with a high frequency ASC Flash LIDAR camera. We assume that the camera is mounted on a vessel, in a forward looking position, and is pointing at some distance ahead of its path. In its current design, the camera generates a 64 x 64 matrix of laser rays, providing as...

Due to the geometry, the de...
متن کاملA NOVEL FUZZY-BASED SIMILARITY MEASURE FOR COLLABORATIVE FILTERING TO ALLEVIATE THE SPARSITY PROBLEM
Memory-based collaborative filtering is the most popular approach to build recommender systems. Despite its success in many applications, it still suffers from several major limitations, including data sparsity. Sparse data affect the quality of the user similarity measurement and consequently the quality of the recommender system. In this paper, we propose a novel user similarity measure based...
