The present study was undertaken to develop a modified texture analysis algorithm based on the properties of texture spectrum (TS) domain for the satellite images. In texture analysis some specific spatial filters are required, which can transform the image based on the textural features instead of changing the spectral properties; the image is thus characterized by its texture spectrum. This p...

Laboratory measurements of rock strength provide limiting values of lithospheric stress, provided that one effective principal stress is known. Fracture strengths are too variable to be useful; however, rocks at shallow depth are probably fractured so that frictional strength may apply. A single linear friction law, termed Byedee's law, holds for all materials except clays, to pressures of more...

Small-scale assimilation of limestone during the intrusion of an olivine basalt feeder dyke into an Eocene argillaceous, siliceous biomicrite in the Tokatoka area has resulted in the incorporation of large amounts of calcium into the parent magma. Initial effects of assimilation have caused partial resorption of the earlyformed igneous mineralogy and the precipitation of calcic, iron-rich clino...

Human and macaque observers can detect and discriminate visual forms defined by differences in texture. The neurophysiological correlates of visual texture perception are not well understood and have not been studied extensively at the single-neuron level in the primate brain. We used a novel family of texture patterns to measure the selectivity of neurons in extrastriate cortical area V2 of th...

A new approach to texture segmentation is presented which uses Local Binary Pattern data to provide evidence from which pixels can be classified into texture classes. The proposed algorithm, which we contend to be the first use of evidence gathering in the field of texture classification, uses Generalised Hough Transform style R-tables as unique descriptors for each texture class and an accumul...

in this study, the effects of moisture content and corn variety on the physicochemical properties of popcorn were investigated and modeled using response surface methodology. each of the two corn varieties (hybrid corn ksc 600 pc and american) was prepared with a range of moisture (six moisture levels ranging from 10 to 20%) and popped by a hot air popper. variety and moisture content affected ...

Everyday objects are often composed of multiple parts, each with a unique surface texture. The neural substrates mediating the integration of surface features on different object parts are not fully understood, and potential contributions by both the ventral and dorsal visual pathways are possible. To explore these substrates, we collected fMRI data while human participants performed a differen...

Shallow earth translational slides and earth flows, affecting colluvial soils derived by the weathering of the clayey bedrock, are a recurrent problem causing damage to buildings and roads in many areas of Apennines. The susceptibility assessment, e.g. slope stability models, requires the preliminary characterization of these superficial covers (lithology, geotechnical and hydraulic parameters)...

Texture plays an important role in visual information processing since texture provides useful information about shape, orientation, and depth of the objects. The human visual system utilizes texture without difficulty as one of the visual cues for image interpretation, scene analysis and object recognition. However, to extract and to analyze texture are difficult tasks in machine perception in...
