Hyperspectral sensors provide a large number of spectral bands. This massive and complex data structure of hyperspectral images presents a challenge to traditional data processing techniques. Therefore, reducing the dimensionality of hyperspectral images without losing important information is a very important issue for the remote sensing community. We propose to use overlap-based feature weigh...

The TpForth project aims to produce a comprehensive Forth development and run-time environment for embedded systems. TpForth already sports a visual IDE, with a real-time VM running on several platforms and remote debugging. CASE and project management support, code analysis and native code generation are planned. The system is available under a novel “community license”, which aims to build a ...

The SciDAC funded National Fusion Collaboratory Project has successfully started to deploy a production computational Grid for the United States fusion community. The MDSplus client/server data system used in fusion research has been outfitted with authentication and authorization capabilities by interfacing with the Globus and Akenti toolkits. A remote computation service using the TRANSP code...

Lab courses play a critical role in scientific education. Modern technology is changing the nature of the laboratories, and there is a great comparision between hands-on, simulated and remote laboratories. The remote lab technology has brought a significant improvement in communication within the Academic community and has improved students' learning experiences. There are different educational...

This thesis analyzes the reflectance behavior of textiles in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) band (1 – 2 microns) in order to identify/design potential diagnostic tools that allow the remote detection of human presence in a scene. Analyzing the spectral response of fabrics in the SWIR band has gained significant interest in the remote sensing community since it provides a potential path to discr...

Across Canada, remote and rural First Nations (Indigenous communities) are responsible for delivering services to community members. They use broadband networks for many kinds of service delivery including health, training and education, government and administration, language and culture, lands and resources, justice and policing and others (O’Donnell, Milliken, Chong, Walmark, 2010). Since th...

Leaf area index (LAI) was developed to describe the number of layers of foliage in a monoculture. Subsequent expansion into measurement by remote-sensing methods has resulted in misrepresentation of LAI. The new name foliage layer index (FLI) is applied to a more simply estimated version of Goodall's "cover repetition," that is, the number of layers of foliage a single species has, either withi...

The aim of the PeTEX-project is to establish an eLearning platform for the development, implementation, and delivery of educational training programs in the field of manufacturing engineering. The PeTEX team designs both: a technical platform for eLearning based on “Moodle” including distributed tele-operated experimentation facilities, and didactic and socio-technical requirements for a succes...
