Glacial retreat on the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding regions is characteristic since the 1960s and has intensified in the past 10 yr. The magnitude of glacial retreat is relatively small in the interior of the Tibetan Plateau and increases to the margins of the plateau, with the greatest retreat around the edges. Glacial retreat in this region is impacting the hydrological processes in the Ti...

A method is presented for estimating the pose (position & orientation) of a camera based on a set of correspondences between world space and camera space by decomposing the problem into orientation estimation and triangulation. Both of these steps can be proven to be globally convergent which allows fast and accurate estimation. Furthermore, the pose estimation works in full projective space, p...

The Duluth-WSI systems in SemEval-2 built word co–occurrence matrices from the task test data to create a second order co–occurrence representation of those test instances. The senses of words were induced by clustering these instances, where the number of clusters was automatically predicted. The Duluth-Mix system was a variation of WSI that used the combination of training and test data to cr...

ion In this paper, we describe our first participation for the semantic indexing task at TRECVID 2010 [1]. We focus on extraction multiple low-level feature sets and a fusion method. In our system, six features are extracted for all the predefined concepts from the keyframes, including global features (RGB color histogram, HSV color histogram, edge histogram, Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix, GI...

A detection method of the rice milling degree was proposed based on machine vision with gray-gradient co-occurrence matrix. Using an experimental mill machine, different milling degree samples of rice were prepared. The rice kernel image of the different milling degree was get by a machine vision detecting system, then the texture features of the rice image were obtained by using gray-gradient ...

In this paper, we explore the design and effects of applying different sliding window methodologies to capture character co-occurrences within literature in order to build social networks. In particular, we focus our analysis on several works of 19th century fiction by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. We define three different sliding window techniques that can be applied: collinear, coplanar, ...

Breast cancer represents the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women today and it is the most common type of cancer in women. This paper presents an efficient classification algorithm in digital mammograms in the context of rough set theory. Feature extractions acquired in this work are derived from the gray-level co-occurrence matrix. The features are extracted, normalized and then the ...

We show that in a class of universal extra dimension (UED) models that solves both the neutrino mass and proton decay problems using low scale left-right symmetry, the dark matter of the Universe consists of an admixture of KK photon and KK right-handed neutrinos. We present a full calculation of the dark matter density in these models taking into account the co-annihilation effects due to near...

(GEO). In general, process is easier to measure, outcome is more important. The original contribution of the present study is fourfold. First, existing procedures for quantitative quality assessment (Q 2 A) of the (sole) PAN-sharpened MS product are critically reviewed. Their conceptual and implementation drawbacks are highlighted to be overcome for quality improvement. Second, a novel (to the ...

Reactions of (η-RC5H4)Fe(CO)2I (R = H, Me) complexes with phosphine ligands PR′3 (R′ = Ph, m-Tol, p-C6H4OMe, p-C6H4Cl, p-C6H4F) have been performed under solvent-free conditions in the melt phase and generally yielded the ionic products [(η5-RC5H4)Fe(CO)2PR′3]I rather than the CO substituted products (η5-RC5H4)Fe(CO)(PR′3)I. The complexes have been characterised by IR, NMR and MS techniques. By...
