Using evolutionary population synthesis we present high resolution (0.3 Å) integrated spectral energy distributions from 3000 to 7000 Å and absorption-line indices defined by the Lick Observatory image dissector scanner (referred to as the Lick/IDS) system, for an extensive set of instantaneous burst binary stellar populations with binary interactions. The ages of the populations are in the ran...

Mapping surface water distribution and its dynamics over various environments with robust methods is essential for managing resources supporting water-related policy design. Thresholding Single Water Index image (TSWI) threshold a common way of using index (WI) mapping it easy to use could obtain acceptable accuracies in many applications. As more WIs are available each has distinct merits, the...

Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the pine wood nematode (PWN) which causes pine wilt disease, is currently a serious problem in East Asia, including in Japan, Korea, and China. This paper investigates the hyperspectral analysis of pine wilt disease to determine the optimal detection indices for measuring changes in the spectral reflectance characteristics and leaf reflectance in the Pinus thunbergii...

Knowledge of spatial and temporal variations in crop growth is important for crop management and stable crop production for the food security of a country. A combination of crop growth models and remote sensing data is a useful method for monitoring crop growth status and estimating crop yield. The objective of this study was to use spectral-based biomass values generated from spectral indices ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sensitivity of new surface electromyography (sEMG) indices based on the discrete wavelet transform to estimate acute exercise-induced changes on muscle power output during a dynamic fatiguing protocol. Fifteen trained subjects performed five sets consisting of 10 leg press, with 2 min rest between sets. sEMG was recorded from vastus medialis (VM)...

To enhance the vegetation signal in remotely sensed data and provide an approximate measure of live green vegetation, a number of spectral vegetation indices have been developed to estimate biophysical parameters of vegetation. The sensitivity of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to the soil background and atmospheric effects has generated an increasing interest in the developme...
