This paper deals with automatic road extraction from SAR imagery. In general, automatically extracted road networks are not complete, i.e., gaps remain in the erxtracted network. Especially in SAR imagery many objects occlude road sections and cause gaps, due to the side looking geometry of the SAR sensor. In this paper an approach for automatic road extraction is proposed that is optimized for...

To evaluate the speed of growth of an urban area road is one of the fast information updating element during urban development. Road information extraction based on high resolution satellite images play an important role because roads affect city land usage. In this paper, two approaches for road network extraction for an urban are proposed. Most research in road extraction begins with an origi...

music has been used as mood modulator by humans for many years. nowadays music is mostly play as one of the switch in a car. although music listening is common at during driving. its impact on driving performance has developed debates and controversies. studies have shown that self-selected in-car music listening can improve driver’s mood and behavior. however other studies have reported that b...

Tundra ecosystems are sensitive to disturbance and slow to recover. To account for environmental costs of development in the North, cumulative impacts of roads and dust deposition must be quantified. After a previous study, we re-examined tundra adjacent to the 577-km-long Dalton Highway in northern Alaska to assess 13 y of additional calcareous road dust deposition. Dust loading continues to a...
