The focus of this study is the evaluation of the Image Quality Index (IQI) in mosaics generated from aerial images collected by a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA). The software packages used to generate the mosaics were PhotoModeler, PhotoScan and Pix4Dmapper. The mosaic generated by the software PhotoScan was superior to the others visually, but inferior to the software PhotoModeler in relation...

Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) experiments are routinely utilized for studying epigenomics of transcriptional regulation. We review some of the important statistical issues in the analysis of these experiments and extend our previous model for the analysis of ChIP-seq data of transcription factors, named MOSAiCS, with a hidden Markov model archit...

A key challenge for land change science in general and research on swidden agriculture in particular, is linking land cover information to human-environment interactions over larger spatial areas. In Lao PDR, a country facing rapid and multi-level land change processes, this hinders informed policy- and decision-making. Crucial information on land use types and people involved is still lacking....

This paper reports a powerful technique for building panoramic mosaics from video sequences automatically. No information about the camera motion nor on its optical parameters are necessary. Mosaics can be built even in the presence of objects moving in front of the target scene (dynamic mosaicing), which are deleted by motion analysis. The technique also makes augmented reality possible, that ...

Although mosaics are well established as a compact and nonredundant representation of image sequences, their application still suffers from restrictions of the camera motion or has to deal with parallax errors. We present an approach that allows construction of mosaics from arbitrary motion of a head-mounted camera pair. As there are no parallax errors when creating mosaics from planar objects,...
