In this paper we propose a supervised learning system for counting and localizing palm trees in high-resolution, panchromatic satellite imagery (40cm/pixel to 1.5m/pixel). A convolutional neural network classifier trained on a set of palm and no-palm images is applied across a satellite image scene in a sliding window fashion. The resultant confidence map is smoothed with a uniform filter. A no...

A nonrelativistic classical electron scattering by a fixed ion in a uniform magnetic field is discussed. The system is nonintegrable, and there is chaotic scattering for a certain class of initial conditions. A two-dimensional discrete map is derived from the equation of motion. Our map exhibits four different types of motion by changing the parameters which characterize the initial condition. ...

We derive a closed-form expression for the exact pairwise error probability (PEP) of a non-uniform memoryless binary source transmitted over a Rayleigh fading channel using space-time orthogonal block codes and maximum a posteriori (MAP) detection. The expression is easy to evaluate and holds for any signaling scheme. We then use this result to minimize the bit error rate of the binary antipoda...

On applying a layered neural network to pattern classification problems, simultaneous search for the optimal model and the optimal parameter set can be beneficial, in order to solve the model determination problem. When altering the model during training, it is desirable that the accumulated map will be inherited to the new model for the training process to be continued. In this work, a model s...

In this paper we prove that the Newton method applied to the generalized equation y ∈ f(x) + F (x) with a C function f and a set-valued map F acting in Banach spaces, is locally convergent uniformly in the parameter y if and only if the map (f +F ) is Aubin continuous at the reference point. We also show that the Aubin continuity actually implies uniform Q-quadratic convergence provided that th...

Proximity maps and regions are defined based on the relative allocation of points from two or more classes in an area of interest and are used to construct random graphs called proximity catch digraphs (PCDs) which have applications in various fields. The simplest of such maps is the spherical proximity map which maps a point from the class of interest to a disk centered at the same point with ...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a correction for annihilation photon attenuation in small objects such as mice is necessary. The attenuation recovery for specific organs and subcutaneous tumors was investigated. A comparison between different attenuation correction methods was performed. METHODS Ten NMRI nude mice with subcutaneous implantation of human breast ...

We apply Preuss' concept of $mbbe$-connectedness to the categories of lattice-valued uniform convergence spaces and of lattice-valued uniform spaces. A space is uniformly $mbbe$-connected if the only uniformly continuous mappings from the space to a space in the class $mbbe$ are the constant mappings. We develop the basic theory for $mbbe$-connected sets, including the product theorem. Furtherm...
