The main theme of this paper is the morphological analysis of typhoons. That is, we aim at establishing a new scheme for estimating the intensity of typhoons based on the morphological analysis of typhoons. The infrastructure of this research is our typhoon image collection that consists of about 20,000 typhoon images in the northern hemisphere, and about 9,000 typhoon images in the southern he...

Coastal data and information comprise a massive and complex resource, which is vital to the practice of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), an increasingly important application. ICZM is just as complex, but uses a holistic approach to deal with the sophistication. The application domain and its resource require a tool of matching characteristics, which is facilitated by the current wide...

The performance of existing image dehazing methods is limited by hand-designed features, such as the dark channel, color disparity and maximum contrast, with complex fusion schemes. In this paper, we propose a multi-scale deep neural network for single-image dehazing by learning the mapping between hazy images and their corresponding transmission maps. The proposed algorithm consists of a coars...

Matching Techniques are becoming very attractive research topic. With the development and the use of a large variety of data (e.g. DB schemas, ontologies, taxonomies), in many domains (e.g. libraries, life science, etc), Matching Techniques are called to overcome the challenge of aligning and reconciling theses different interrelated representations. In this paper, we are interested in studying...

The concept of holistic processing is a cornerstone of face-recognition research. In the study reported here, we demonstrated that holistic processing predicts face-recognition abilities on the Cambridge Face Memory Test and on a perceptual face-identification task. Our findings validate a large body of work that relies on the assumption that holistic processing is related to face recognition. ...

the linear and single factor attitude towards human being behavior (in the range of normality and abnormality) is no longer valid. currently human being is considered a live and dynamic system and behavioral problems, fluctuating mood states, mental illnesses and disturbances of personality are no exclusions from this ‘system’. a comprehensive holistic and systematic approach in this regard is ...
