Some remote sensing applications are relatively time insensitive, for others, near-real-time processing (results 30-180 minutes after data reception) offer a viable solution. There are, however, a few applications, such as active wildfire monitoring or ship and airplane detection, where real-time processing and image interpretation offers a distinct advantage. The objective of real-time process...

Successful control of invasive exotic plants depends to a large degree on the regeneration potential of the target exotic species and other species that might also be influenced by the removal effort. In coastal grasslands of California, exotic French broom ( Genista monspessulana ) forms both dense stands aboveground and abundant seed banks belowground. Land managers attempt to reduce broom co...

Non-uniformity in the response of spectral image elements is an inevitable phenomenon hyperspectral imaging, which mainly manifests itself as presence band noise acquired data. This problem prominent infrared owing to detector material, operating environment, and other factors. important factor that can affect quality data, has a serious impact on both data analysis applications requires correc...

Hyperspectral remote sensing images are affected by different types of noise. In addition to typical random noise, nonperiodic partially deterministic disturbance patterns generally appear in the data. These patterns, which are intrinsic to the image formation process, are characterized by a high degree of spatial and spectral coherence. We present a new technique that faces the problem of remo...

We investigated age and size class structures of Scotch broom stands, and the effects of invasion on the native plant community, in the high-altitude grasslands of the Nilgiris, South India. Girth, height and age of broom stems were recorded. Native vegetation cover was assessed under broom and in the surrounding grasslands. Age was positively correlated with girth and height of broom. Middle-a...

in 2010- 2012 surveys, witches'- boom disease of tomato was observed in borazjan area (bushehr province, iran). agent of the disease was transmitted from tomato to tomato and eggplant by grafting and to madagascar periwinkle via dodder inoculation, inducing phytoplasma-type symptoms in inoculated plants. presence of phytoplasma in naturally affected tomatoes and all symptomatic graft and dodder...

This paper concerns the creation of efficient surface representations from laser point clouds. We produce a continuous, implicit, non-parametric representation with an update time that is constant. The algorithm places no restriction on the complexity of the underlying workspace surfaces and automatically prunes redundant data via an information theoretic criterion. This criterion makes the use...

DNA of 10 lines of rice yellow dwarf (RYD) mycoplasmalike organisms (MLOs) from Japan, the Phillippines, and Thailand hybridized with four probes containing chromosomal and six probes containing extrachromosomal DNA of a Tochigi (Japan) line of RYD MLO. One chromosomal probe (RYD9) and all six extrachromosomal probes hybridized with various other MLOs (sugarcane white leaf, onion yellows, ciner...
