Bagherzadeh A., Paymard P. (2015): Assessment of land capability for different irrigation systems by parametric and fuzzy approaches in the Mashhad Plain, northeast Iran. Soil & Water Res., 10: 90–98. Water quality and quantity in agricultural systems of arid and semiarid regions of the world are of great importance. In this regard the trend to pressurized irrigation systems compared to surface...

subalpine rangeland as a rara avis ecosystem is very important because ofecological features. consistency and resistance of this ecosystem is so frangible and itsnatural equilibrium is instable due to the effects of biotic and abiotic factors. the landslideas one of negative consequences in upland area is seen in masoleh watershed (north ofiran). this study has investigated the roles of biotic ...

Aiming to evaluate the soil textural classes distribution and the spatial correlation between the soil textural classes and both infiltration rate and salinity in an alluvial area, in Pernambuco State “agreste” region, indicator geostatistics has been applied, adopting a binary distribution based on the presence/absence of loam soils. Considering sampling points and test locations along the mai...

The microarchitecture of the trabecular bone is an highly informative feature for osteoporosis assessment. High resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography permits its in-vivo observation at a resolution of 82 μm. In this paper we propose an approach that assesses bone microarchitecture based on texture features extracted from the trabecular bone. The method is based on three-dimensi...

MPEG7 standardization work has started with the aims of providing fundamental tools for describing multimedia contents. MPEG7 defines the syntax and semantics of descriptors and description schemes so that they may he used as fundamental tools for multimedia content description. In this paper, we introduce a texture based image description and retrieval method, which is adopted as the homogeneo...

The idea proposed in this paper utilizes an efficient image retrieval system that is based on computation and combination of grey level, shape and texture features. The proposed system calculates various grey level features which are used to extract attributes from an input image. Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix is used to compute the texture feature of a given image while the Shape feature fin...

In this study, texture based segmentation and recognition of the lung diseases from the computed tomography images are presented. The texture based features are extracted by Gabor filtering, feature selection techniques such as Information Gain, Principal Component Analysis, correlation based feature selection are employed with Genetic algorithm which is used as an optimal initialisation of the...

We present a novel approach for tracking locally planar regions in an image sequence and their grouping into larger planar surfaces. The tracker recovers the affine transformation of the region and therefore yields reliable point correspondences between frames. Both edges and texture information are exploited in an integrated way, while not requiring the complete region’s contour. The tracker w...

In central Kenya, in the ecological transition zone from semi -humid to semi-arid, climatic and human induced land cover changes have an immense impact on the ecosystem. Therefore, investigations were made to analyse the potential to separate 10 detailed land use/land cover classes in this area from multitemporal ENVISAT ASAR data. Besides mean, different texture measures like variance, coeffic...
