With a growing number of satellite sensors the coverage of the earth in space, time and the electromagnetic spectrum is increasing fast. To be able to utilize all this information, a number of approaches for data fusion have been presented. The “multi” concept for remote sensing applications refers to multisource, multiscale, multipolarization, multifrequency, and multitemporal imagery. We pres...

A data fusion approach to the classification of multisource and multitemporal remote-sensing images is proposed. The method is based on the application of the Bayes rule for minimum error to the “compound” classification of pairs of multisource images acquired at two different dates. In particular, the fusion of multisource data is obtained by using multilayer perceptron neural networks for a n...

We built 462 machine translation systems for all language pairs of the Acquis Communautaire corpus. We report and analyse the performance of these system, and compare them against pivot translation and a number of system combination methods (multi-pivot, multisource) that are possible due to the available systems.

This paper presents a learning Dempster-Shafer model for the detection of buildings in aerial image and range data. The process of evidence assignment in the Dempster-Shafer method is implemented through membership functions in an adaptivenetwork-based fuzzy inference system, where a back propagation learning rule is employed to tune the evidence assignment functions using training samples. The...

Effective practicing psychologists require ongoing skill development that is constructivist and recursive in nature, with mentor, colleague, co-worker, and patient feedback critical to successful acquisition and maintenance of professional competencies. This paper will provide an overview of the nature and scope of psychologist skill development through multisource feedback (MSF) or 360 degree ...

Karlijn Overeem, general practitioner and researcher, defended her thesis on 15 November 2011. The thesis concerns the development and implementation of a performance assessment system for medical specialists (consultants) in Dutch hospitals. Besides the use of multisource feedback, the assessments consist of a portfolio and an assessment interview with a trained colleague. The thesis comprises...
