one of the most important problems in the upstream oil industries is heavy organic and asphaltene deposition that cause to plug in formations, production surface facilities, wellbore, and flow lines. determination of asphaltene precipitation, flocculation and aggregation mechanisms and asphaltene flocculation onset point are too important subjects in asphaltene deposition management. in this wo...

In this research, first of all, the existing problems in fragmentation measurement are reviewed for the sake of its fast and reliable evaluation. Then, the available methods used for evaluation of blast results are mentioned. The produced errors especially in recognizing the rock fragments in computer-aided methods, and also, the importance of determination of their sizes in the image analysis ...

since the birth of multi–spectral imaging techniques, there has been a tendency to consider and process this new type of data as a set of parallel gray–scale images, instead of an ensemble of an n–d realization. although, even now, some researchers make the same assumption, it is proved that using vector geometries leads to better results. in this paper, first a method is proposed to extract th...

sensors onboard meteorological satellites such as modis and avhrr are able to collect information adequate in frequency but with low spatial resolution. the problem can be overcome, if one finds a way to increase the quality of the vegetation indices through searching in each individual pixel of the images, employing concurrent higher spatial resolution images. the objective of this study was t...

hyperion hyperspectral data contains a very rich source of information from the earth surface that collects 242 narrow contiguous spectral bands. achieving this source of rich information is subject to the performance of suitable image processing methods on raw satellite data. satellite image processing methods can be classified into two categories of statistical-based and spectral-based. in th...
