This paper is concerned with morphological change analysis in the old foreign concessions of Shanghai from 1969 to 2010. To that end, we use a series of 17 Landsat TM and Landsat ETM + images on which we estimate some feature parameters. The analysis of the resulting time series enables to isolate changes from traditional constructions to new buildings or gardens. Our results show that 70 % of ...

Techniques based on multi-temporal, multi-spectral and satellitesensor have demonstrated potential as a means to detect, identify, map and monitor ecosystem changes. Multi-temporal images processing becomes more and more important in monitoring earth surface. The large collection of past and present remote sensing imagery makes it possible to analyze spatio-temporal and spectrotemporal pattern ...

We study application of the Exponential Tilt Model (ETM) to compare survival distributions in two groups. The ETM assumes a parametric form for the density ratio of the two distributions. It accommodates a broad array of parametric models such as the log-normal and gamma models and can be sufficiently flexible to allow for crossing hazard and crossing survival functions. We develop a nonparamet...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study were to investigate a role of oxidative stress and the therapeutic efficacy of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) in the pathogenesis of neurotoxicity induced by isoniazid and etambutol in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into eight experimental groups: control, INH, ETM, INH+ETM, INH+CAPE, ETM+CAPE, INH+ETM+CAP...

This study determined some spectral characteristics and relationship between Landsat spectral reflectance and soil surface color in the arid region of Iran (Kashan). The study carried out in the kashan area that covers 90000 ha. Consisting of mountain, hills and flood plain. Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) data collected on July 2002 were used for this research. The color composite images produ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most sensitive technique to detect multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques in central nervous system. In some cases, the patients who were suspected to MS, Whereas MRI images are normal, but whether patients don't have MS plaques or MRI images are not enough optimized enough in order to show MS plaques? The aim of the current study is eva...

This work proposes the use of Genetic Algorithms (GA) as an optimization method for the Linear Mixture Model (LMM), with the purpose of fusing multispectral images that preserve the best spatial and spectral features of the source images. The algorithm proposed has been evaluated for images registered by the Landsat 7 ETM+ sensor. In this study, the high spatial resolution image (HSRI) correspo...

Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) have been established as indispensable tools in the assessment of Land use / cover (LULC) change. RS GIS are important for monitoring, modelling mapping land changes across a range spatial temporal scales, order to assess extent, direction, causes, effects changes. Change detection has provided suitable wide-ranging information various...
