We analyse the optical spectral properties of the complete sample of Very Luminous Infrared Galaxies presented by Wu et al. (1998a,b) and we find a high fraction (∼ 50 %) of spectra showing both a strong Hδ line in absorption and relatively modest [Oii] emission (e(a) spectra). The e(a) signature has been proposed as an efficient method to identify dusty starburst galaxies and we study the star...

expensive to provide these maps  with field measurements  therefore  it is better to use new methods. this study provides a lithological and alteration mapping units with dominant minerals based on hyperspectral images of eo1-hyperion satellite. to do so, two different zones  were  investigated:  the  cuprite-nevada  and  mozahem  volcano  in  iran  which  have suitable conditions for our study...

Spectral unmixing is an important task for remotely sensed hyperspectral data exploitation. The spectral signatures collected in natural environments are invariably a mixture of the pure signatures of the various materials found within the spatial extent of the ground instantaneous field view of the imaging instrument. Spectral unmixing aims at inferring such pure spectral signatures, called en...

homogeneity and uniformity of soil particles is a most potent factor which affects soil spectral signatures. geometric standard deviation of soil particles (?g) exhibits the homogeneity of soil components. this study presents the influence of ?g on spectral studying of soil geometric mean particle diameter as well as lime. the study was conducted in pol-e-dokhtar using the data set of lissiii-p...

This paper describes an efficient approach to pose invariant object recognition employing pictorial recognition of image patches. A complete affine invariance is achieved by a representation which is based on a new sampling configuration in the frequency domain. Employing Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), the affine transform is decomposed into slant, tilt, swing, scale and 2D translation. Fr...

MOTIVATION Protein interaction networks provide an important system-level view of biological processes. One of the fundamental problems in biological network analysis is the global alignment of a pair of networks, which puts the proteins of one network into correspondence with the proteins of another network in a manner that conserves their interactions while respecting other evidence of their ...

In this thesis multivariate methods were used to evaluate pretreatment methods, such as normalization, as well as classification possibilities of data collected with Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). The LIBS system that FOI is currently developing for the purpose of classifying biological airborne threats was used to collect data from ten different samples in a laboratory environmen...

Sea-truth water sampling campaigns were carried out in the Johore Strait, Singapore from Dec 1996 to Dec 1998, partially funded by NASDA-ESCAP for utilization of ADEOS OCTS data. Water leaving radiance and reflectance data were collected together with coincidental measurements of water quality parameters, including the total suspended solid (TSS) and the chlorophyl-a (Chl-a) loadings. Results o...

We have searched for discrete refractive scattering events (including effects due to possible non-multiple diffractive scattering) at meter wavelengths in the direction of two close by pulsars B0950+08 and B1929+10, where we looked for spectral signatures associated with the multiple imaging of pulsars due to scattering in the interstellar medium. We do not find any signatures of such events in...

BACKGROUND In the field of earth observation, hyperspectral detector systems allow precise target detections of surface components from remote sensing platforms. This enables specific land covers to be identified without the need to physically travel to the areas examined. In the medical field, efforts are underway to develop optical technologies that detect altering tissue surfaces without the...
