land use maps are the most essential information in the hand of natural resources managers.in the present research, to prepare dahat abbas land use map, landsat etm+ (1386) data was used. the image was geometrically corrected with root mean square error of less than 0.47. for classification, artificial neural network, support vector machine and maximum likelihood methods were used.finally, thel...

The goal is to collect pearls (small golden circles) by sliding a droplet of water (large blue circle) over them in a grid map. The map contains obstacles (square blocks). In each move, the droplet slides in one of the four directions to the maximal extent, until it is stopped by an obstacle. 7 Moves! left (1st pearl) up, left (2nd pearl) down, right, up, left (3rd pearl) The map contains only ...

In order to maneuver autonomously on rough terrain, a mobile robot must constantly decide whether to traverse or circumnavigate terrain features ahead. This ability is called Obstacle Negotiation (ON). A critical aspect of ON is the socalled traversability analysis, which evaluates the level of difficulty associated with the traversal of the terrain. This paper presents a new method for travers...

There are mainly two types of Emergent Self-Organizing Maps (ESOM) grid structures in use: hexgrid (honeycomb like) and quadgrid (trellis like) maps. In addition to that, the shape of the maps may be square or rectangular. This work investigates the effects of these different map layouts. Hexgrids were found to have no convincing advantage over quadgrids. Rectangular maps, however, are distinct...

We use a version of localization in equivariant cohomology for the norm-square of the moment map, described by Paradan, to give several weighted decompositions for simple polytopes. As an application, we study Euler-Maclaurin formulas.

For the first time it is here shown that Symbolby-Symbol Maximum A Posteriori (SbS-MAP) receivers are able to generate Non-Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (NL-MMSE) estimates of the transmitted symbols.

A novel square equal-area map projection is proposed. The combines closed-form forward and inverse solutions with relatively low angular distortion minimal cusps, a combination of properties not manifested by any previously published projection. Thus, the new has lower than solution. Utilizing quincuncial arrangement, places north pole at center divides south between its four corners; can be se...
