Introduction; Dynamic contrast MR angiography (C MRA) has been used for the evaluation of the atherosclerotic diseases. For evaluation of patients with renal insufficiency or history with adverse reactions, MR contrast media cannot be used. So far, Non-contrast (NC) MRA with several techniques has been introduced. In the lower extremities, subtraction method between images in diastolic and syst...

Vegetation monitoring and mapping based on multi-temporal imagery has recently received much attention due to the plethora of medium-high spatial resolution satellites and the improved classification accuracies attained compared to uni-temporal approaches. Efficient image processing strategies are needed to exploit the phenological information present in temporal image sequences and to limit da...

T. Li, M. Martinez-Ramon, G. Heileman, S. Posse MIND Institute, Albuquerque, NM, United States, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, nm, United States, MIND Imaging Center, Albuquerque, nm, United States Introduction: Outer volume suppression is used in MR spectroscopic imaging to reduce contamination from peripheral lipid signals. The placement of lipid suppression slices (sat bands) by a hu...

One of the most important products of ALOS/PRISM image data are accurate DSMs. To exploit the full potential of the full resolution of PRISM for DSM generation, a highly developed image matcher is needed. As a member of the validation and calibration team for PRISM we published earlier results of DSM generation using PRISM image triplets in combination with our software package SAT-PP. The over...

landsat 7 etm+ data is widely used in studies of the spatial distribution kc and vegetation cover parameters in regional and global scales but slc failure has greatly reduces its usefulness. additionally, the failure is permanent and has failed subsequent attempts to recover the slc, so required and practical way to address this problem is filling the pixels of missed data in the slc-off images...

The paper presents the results of an extended analysis of image data sets acquired during the tandem-orbit configuration in 1999 for the purposes of radiometric cross-calibration of the Landsat-7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) and Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) sensors. Earlier work focused on the tandem pair for the Railroad Valley Playa, Nevada (RVPN) site to tie down the Landsat-5 TM c...

Die rasante technologische Entwicklung der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte ermöglicht heute die dauerhafte Speicherung riesiger Datenmengen durch den Computer. In fast allen Wissenschaften werden große Datenmengen gespeichert, die analysiert und verstanden werden müssen. Aber nicht nur in der Wissenschaft, sondern auch in kommerziellen Anwendungen und auch im alltäglichen Leben entstehen große Datenmen...

We describe LMHS, an open source weighted partial maximum satisfiability (MaxSAT) solver. LMHS is a hybrid SAT-IP MaxSAT solver that implements the implicit hitting set approach to MaxSAT. On top of the main algorithm, LMHS offers integrated preprocessing, solution enumeration, an incremental API, and the use of a choice of SAT and IP solvers. We describe the main features of LMHS, and give emp...

Different types of iron oxides deposits have been identified along the Khaf – Dorouneh volcanic and plutonic belt in north east of Iran. Kuh-e-Zar is one of these ore deposits known as Fe- oxide gold deposit. The main purpose of this paper is to detect and discriminate the iron oxide minerals in this area based on the ETM+ data. Data processing has been done by ENVI (Environment for Visualizing...

This work reports a first attempt to use Landsat satellite imagery to identify possible urban microclimate changes in a city center after a seismic event that affected L'Aquila City (Abruzzo Region, Italy), on 6 April 2009. After the main seismic event, the collapse of part of the buildings, and the damaging of most of them, with the consequence of an almost total depopulation of the historic c...
