چکیده

Suppose that geographic data under investigation are rates associated with polygons. For example, disease incidence, mortality, and census undercount data may be displayed as rates. Spatial analysis of data of this sort can be handled very naturally through Bayesian hierarchical statistical modeling, where there is a measurement process at the ®rst level, an explanatory process at the second level, and a prior probability distribution on unknowns at the third level. In our paper, we shall feature epidemiological data, speci®cally disease-incidence rates, and the ``polygons'' referred to in the title are typically states or counties.

Efficient displacement Mapping by Image Warping

Abstract. While displacement maps can provide a rich set of visual detail on otherwise simple surfaces they have always been very expensive to render. Rendering has only been done using ray tracing or by introducing a great number of micro-polygons. We present a new image-based approach by showing that rendering displacement maps is sufficiently similar to image warping and introduce a new warp...

Hardware Accelerated Rendering of Emissive Volumes

Traditional volume rendering is computationally expensive and can therefore only be performed at low frame rates. In recent years algorithms have been developed that are speciically tailored towards the use of graphics hardware for volume rendering. On systems equipped with the appropriate hardware, these algorithms are capable of rendering volumes at interactive rates. Unfortunately, existing ...

Higher Derivations Associated with the Cauchy-Jensen Type Mapping

Let H be an infinite--dimensional Hilbert space and K(H) be the set of all compact operators on H. We will adopt spectral theorem for compact self-adjoint operators, to investigate of higher derivation and higher Jordan derivation on K(H) associated with the following cauchy-Jencen type functional equation 2f(frac{T+S}{2}+R)=f(T)+f(S)+2f(R) for all T,S,Rin K(H).

Evaluation of algorithms for fire detection and mapping across North America from satellite

[1] This paper presents an evaluation of advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR)-based remote sensing algorithms for detecting active vegetation fires [Li et al., 2000a] and mapping burned areas [Fraser et al., 2000] throughout North America. The procedures were originally designed for application in Canada with AVHRR data aboard the NOAA 14 satellite. They were tested here with both N...
