Equivalent Latitude Computation Using Regions of Interest (ROI)
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a novel algorithm to compute equivalent latitude by applying regions of interest (ROI). The technique is illustrated using code written in Interactive Data Language (IDL). The ROI method is compared with the "piecewise-constant" method, the approach commonly used in atmospheric sciences, using global fields of atmospheric potential vorticity. The ROI method is considerably more accurate and computationally faster than the piecewise-constant method, and it also works well with irregular grids. Both the ROI and piecewise-constant IDL codes for equivalent latitude are included as a useful reference for the research community.

ROI Sensitive Analysis for Real Time Gender Classification
This paper addresses the issue of real time gender classification through texture analysis. The purpose is to perform sensitivity analysis over a number of ROI-Regions of Interest defined over face images. The determination of the smaller ROI yielding robust classification results will be used for fast computation of texture parameters allowing gender classification to operate in real-time. Res...
متن کاملA Fast Hierarchical MRF sonar Image Segmentation Algorithm
Hierarchical Markov random field (MRF) algorithm has been widely used in sonar image segmentation. To improve the algorithm speed, we abandon the method which describes different regions using regional distribution of grey distribution model and propose a new method in which sonar image was described using grey value statistics. In the proposed method, considering the characteristic of sonar im...
متن کاملImpact of region of interest size and location in Gafchromic film dosimetry
Introduction: Accurate film dosimetry requires careful consideration of sources of uncertainty. Some of the sources of uncertainty are dependent on the size and location of region of interest (ROI), especially in small fields. Avoiding the penumbra is often a reason for using a small ROI. In contrast, choosing very small ROIs may increase uncertainty due to the reduction of th...
متن کاملFingerprint Verification Using Weighted Zernike Moments and Fast Computation Based on Multi-disc ROI
A texture-based method for fingerprint verification is proposed based on weighted Zernike moments. Zernike moment features are calculated from the region of interest (ROI) which consists of several concentric discs, called multi-discs. Zernike moments of multi-disc ROI are weighted according to the regions of discs. In order to reduce the computational complexity of Zernike moments, the fast Ze...
متن کاملA macroquantification approach for region-of-interest assessment in emission tomography.
In this article, we propose a quantification methodology for estimating the statistical parameters of the activity inside regions of interest (ROIs). Macroquantification implies a rearrangement of the emission projection data into macroprojections and a redefinition of the system matrix based either on an image reconstruction involving iterative ROI-wise regularization or on an ROI uniformity a...
