An imaging spectrometer is an instrument that captures a continuous spectrum of light (often ranging from 460nm to 2.5μm) for every pixel in a photograph. Using this type of instrument an image can be taken of any subject and detailed spectral analysis can be run on any part of the image produced. Hyperpectral image umixming is the process by which hyperspectral images are broken down into thei...

Non-negativity matrix factorization (NMF) and its variants have been explored in the last decade and are still attractive due to its ability of extracting non-negative basis images. However, most existing NMF based methods are not ready for encoding higher-order data information. One reason is that they do not directly/explicitly model structured data information during learning, and therefore ...

Image compression is a key technology in the development of various multi-media computer services and telecommunication applications such as video conferencing, interactive education and numerous other areas. Image compression techniques aim at removing (or minimizing) redundancy in data, yet maintains acceptable image reconstruction. In general the images used for compression are of different ...

Modern image measurement needs to take full advantage of sub-pixel edge information of images. This paper presents a sub-pixel edge detection method of color images based on image dimensionality reduction and the least square method. First of all we get the pixel level edge by Ostu algorithm and then combine gray processing algorithm based on color spatial distance and the least square method f...

Generic imaging models can be used to represent any camera. Current generic models are discrete and define a mapping between each pixel in the image and a straight line in 3D space. This paper presents a modification of the generic camera model that allows the simplification of the calibration procedure. The only requirement is that the coordinates of the 3D projecting lines are related by func...

salinization and alkalization are the most problem in the arid and semi-arid regions, where precipitation is low than evapotranspiration. under such a climatic condition, soluble salts are accumulated in the soil, which cause lessening of the soil productivity and fertility. so, the identification of the salt affected areas is essential for sustainable soil management. the specific objective of...

The light spectrum that is recorded by a pixel on an imaging sensor is often a mixture of several distinct source spectra. Such a mixture may be modeled as a linear combination of some basis spectra, and if the basis for the scene is known, each pixel may be decomposed into its original components using linear inversion. Since the maximum number of separable basis spectra is equal to the number...

Increases in skeletal muscle (1)H-NMR transverse relaxation time (T2) observed by magnetic resonance imaging have been used to map whole muscle activity during exercise. Some studies further suggest that intramuscular variations in T2 after exercise can be used to map activity on a pixel-by-pixel basis by defining an active T2 threshold and counting pixels that exceed the threshold as "active m...

In [MR], the second author and H. P. Rosenthal constructed the first examples of weakly null normalized sequences which do not have any unconditionally basic subsequences. Much more recently, the second author and W. T. Gowers [GM] constructed infinite dimensional Banach spaces which do not contain any unconditionally basic sequences. These later examples are of a different character than the e...
