Cloud Masking Scheme Based on Spectral, Morphological and Physical Features

چکیده
CHRIS/PROBA acquisitions are programmed in order to avoid cloud covers, but sometimes images present clouds to some extent. This paper presents the preliminary results of a novel approach to cloud detection based on the hyperspectral information contained in CHRIS Mode 1 images. After a preprocessing phase intended to reduce drop-out noise and vertical striping, physically relevant features are extracted from the scenes. A first classification stage based on thresholds is applied to obtain a mapping of the areas prone to contain cloudy pixels. A growing algorithm is applied in order to obtain a mask of the cloudy pixels that are clustered in an unsupervised way with the Expectation-Maximization algorithm afterwards. The spectral signatures of the prototypes of every cluster are compared to a library of signatures in order to correctly assign the cluster to well-defined classes. The performance of the method is tested in a series of four acquisition dates. Further work is required to assess its performance in a more generalized validation set and under different conditions, e.g. in presence of ice, sand, or uneven scenes.

An Intelligent Anti-Islanding Scheme for Synchronous-Based Distributed Generation Using Reduced-Noise Morphological Gradient
This paper presents a pattern recognition-based scheme for detection of islanding conditions in synchronous- based distributed generation (DG) systems. The main idea behind the proposed scheme is the use of spatial features of system parameters such as the frequency, magnitude of positive sequence voltage, etc. In this study, the system parameters sampled at the point of common coupling (PCC) w...

Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a new and challenging research area with a wide range of applications in man-machine interactions. The aim of a SER system is to recognize human emotion by analyzing the acoustics of speech sound. In this study, we propose Spectral Pattern features (SPs) and Harmonic Energy features (HEs) for emotion recognition. These features extracted from the spectrogram ...

Cloud segmentation is a critical pre-processing step for any multi-spectral satellite image application. In particular, disaster-related applications e.g., flood monitoring or rapid damage mapping, which are highly time and data-critical, require methods that produce accurate cloud masks in a short time while being able to adapt to large variations in the target domain (induced by atmospheric c...

Authenticated encryption schemes are important cryptographic primitives that received extensive attention recently. They can provide both confidentiality and authenticity services, simultaneously. Correlation power analysis (CPA) can be a thread for authenticated ciphers, similar to the any physical implementation of any other cryptographic scheme. In this paper, a three-step CPA attack against...
