The coherence function [1] of a stationary, ergodic electromagnetic field is the complete description of its second-order statistics [2, 3]. In a twodimensional aperture, this function comprises the correlations between all pairs of points, so that the coherence is a four-dimensional function. While coherence is a rich source of sensing data, it is almost always impractical to measure the entir...

Coplanarity is a relationship of a set of points that exist on a single plane. Coplanarities can be easily observed in a scene with planer surfaces, and these types of coplanarities have been widely used for 3D reconstructions based on geometrical constraints. Other types of coplanarities that can be observed from images are those observed as cross sections of planes and scenes; for example, po...

The degree of coherence (DOC) function that characterizes the second-order correlations at any two points in a light field is shown to provide new freedom for carrying information. As rule, DOC varies along beam propagation path, preventing from efficient information recovery. In this paper, we report when partially coherent cross phase propagates free space, paraxial optical system or turbulen...

potential field images obtained in potential field data measurements are suitable tools for mineral and hydrocarbons resources explorations. these images consist of different anomalies which in many cases are contaminated with noise. the horizontal location of the boundaries of potential field anomaly sources is of interest in potential field interpretation. however, the edge of potential field...

the changes in time and location of surface temperature from a water body has an important effect on climate activities, marine biology, sea currents, salinity and other characteristics of the seas and lakes water. traditional measurement of temperature is costly and time consumer due to its dispersion and instability. in recent years the use of satellite technology and remote sensing sciences ...
