In this paper, we deal with the problem of extracting meaningful textural features leading to good segmentations on satellite images of natural environments. Standard texture features using graylevel co-occurrence matrices have been widely applied on remote sensed images but they impose limitations (due to finite window sizes) as poor spatial localization. We have generalized the definition of ...

The development and application of various remote sensing platforms result in the production of huge amounts of satellite image data. Therefore, there is an increasing need for effective querying and browsing in these image databases. In order to take advantage and make good use of satellite images data, we must be able to extract meaningful information from the imagery. Hence we proposed a new...

Image indexing based on Modified Color Co-occurrence Matrix (MCCM) is proposed in this paper. First, CCM is simplified to represent the number of color (hue) pairs between adjacent pixels in the image. And then, CCM is split into diagonal and non-diagonal elements that constitute two elements of MCCM. Indexing the image by MCCM could exploit shape information in abstract level. Proposed MCCM is...

We show that certain co–H spaces, constructed by Anick and Gray, carry a homotopy co–associative and co–commutative co–H structure.

Statewide land-cover change detection analysis provides a useful tool for conservation planning and environmental monitoring and addresses issues of habitat fragmentation and urban sprawl. Furthermore, land-cover data offer a historical and recent perspective on landscape dynamics. To this end, the first alliance level land-cover map of Kansas (Kansas Vegetation Map) recently completed by the K...

Thrombosis of coronary arteries is a condition responsible for many acute coronary syndromes. The ability to categorise thrombus belonging to distinct pathological groups, would contribute to the understanding of the pathophysiologic structure of individual lesions, as well as making a signiicant contribution to treatment choice. Here, we investigate the use of statistical texture analysis tech...

Sum frequency generation and IR absorption spectra of CO adsorbed on Pd(111) are reported. Adsorption of CO in the surface temperature range 150–230 K results in the appearance of extra peaks in the spectral range of the CO stretching vibration. The conditions of appearance of these peaks, and their stability, are investigated. The extra peaks are assigned to sites at antiphase domain boundarie...

Texture analysis and classification are usual tasks in pattern recognition. Rock texture is a demanding classification task, because the texture is often non-homogenous. In this paper, we introduce a rock texture classification method, which is based on textural and spectral features of the rock. The spectral features are considered as some color parameters whereas the textural features are cal...
