The remote sensing images fusing is a method, which integrates multiform image data sets into a new data set by geometry matching, color transformation and other ways. During mapping the LiJiang county in YunNan province with high-resolution remote sensing image, we found that it is a good way to utilize the technique of image fusing, which includes image matching, image interpolation, edge enh...

INTRODUCTION The relationship between visual perception and visual mental imagery are at the center of a lively theoretical debate between those postulating common neurocognitive processes between perception and imagery and those who emphasize the differences between these two entities. Neuropsychology can make an important contribution to this debate, by assessing associations and dissociation...

L.] populations on the south Texas Gulf Coast...

Low-visibility conditions for navigation of vehicles are a frequent occurrence. Driving at night, in blizzards, in sand storms, or in fog form an obvious set of challenging conditions. Remote operation of unmanned vehicles through a camera image provides a similar difficulty. Gathering intelligence from satellite imagery can similarly benefit from improved visibility. Advanced image processing ...

In this chapter, we investigate repetitive human activity patterns and individual recognition in thermal infrared imagery, where human motion can be easily detected from the background regardless of the lighting conditions and colors of the human clothing and surfaces, and backgrounds. We employ an efficient spatio-temporal representation for human repetitive activity and individual recognition...

Techniques were developed for automated detection and characterization of dermatoscopic structures, including the pigment network and brown globules. These techniques incorporate algorithms for grayscale shape extraction based on differential geometry developed by Steger, a snake algorithm, and a modification of the region competition strategy of Zhu and Yuille. A novel approach was developed f...
