SUBTITLE Semi - Automated Maltese Front Position Determination
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the reliability of a semi-automated system designed to locate the Maltese front from satellite AVHRR and SAR imagery. The opening and closing operations of mathematical morphology afford a means of image segmentation that provides smooth, strong, continuous edges except where the edges are obscured by clouds or similar phenomena. We evaluate the results by comparing them with front positions found by experienced Navy analysts. Our system provides an objective method for front location that is less laborintensive than manual methods currently in use.

Cost Function Modelling for Semi-automated SC, RTG and Automated and Semi-automated RMG Container Yard Operating Systems
This study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated Straddle Carrier (SC), Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) and automated Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) container yard operating cranes. It develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...
متن کاملSemi-automated method for the determination of free fatty acids in plasma.
A semi-automated method for the determination of free fatty acids in plasma based on Mosinger's manual method (Mosinger, 1965) is described and the results of a comparison with Dole's titrimetric method (Dole, 1956) are presented. There is almost perfect correlation between the two methods, and the automated technique is simple, reliable, and significantly more accurate and precise than the tit...
متن کاملDetermination of the number of AGVs required at a semi-automated container terminal
This paper describes the development of a minimum flow algorithm to determine the number of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) required at a semi-automated container terminal. At such a terminal the containers are transported by AGVs from the Quay Cranes to the Automated Stacking Cranes and vice versa. A model and a strongly polynomial time algorithm are developed to solve the case in which conta...
متن کاملSemi-quantitative segmental perfusion scoring in myocardial perfusion SPECT: visual vs. automated analysis
Introduction: It is recommended that the physician apply at least a semi-quantitative segmental scoring system in myocardial perfusion SPECT. We aimed to assess the agreement between automated semi-quantitative analysis using QPS (quantitative Perfusion SPECT) software and visual approach for calculation of summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS) and summed difference score (SDS). ...
متن کاملIncorporating an Error Corpus into a Spellchecker for Maltese
This paper discusses the ongoing development of a new Maltese spell checker, highlighting the methodologies which would best suit such a language. We thus discuss several previous attempts, highlighting what we believe to be their weakest point: a lack of attention to context. Two developments are of particular interest, both of which concern the availability of language resources relevant to s...
