abstract reference evapotranspiration (eto) is an essential parameter required for proper management of agricultural crop irrigation. eto is influenced by many different hydrological variables and as a result is a very complex procces. eto is usually estimated by empirical or process-orinented models (mathematical relationships) from historical weather data. the need for accurate estimates of e...

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a computational mehtod to solve blind source separation (BSS) problem. Different kinds of classic measure can be used for the estimation of nonGaussian sources by ICA. In this paper we review independent componenet analysis (ICA) technique based on Kurtosis contrast function. We briefly present the common independent component analysis algorithms that use...

The main goal of this article is to implement the MSG-3 process in structure field for an SSI component of b747 aircraft. This process is expected toincrease the ease of aircraft maintenance and its safety level. MSG-3 logic took a top-down or consequence of failure approachmeaning that MSG-3 reduces the maintenance cost and upgrades safety. Moreover, it cansignificantly help saving thetime and...

This paper presents a novel, general and intelligent approach to multiresponse process optimisation, whose purpose is to obtain a single optimum setting of process parameters that meets specifications of all considered, possibly correlated, responses. The approach is based on Taguchi quality loss function, multivariate statistical methods: Principal componenet analysis and Grey relational analy...

In this paper, we present a summary of our ongoing research on the classification of hyperspectral images. We are experimenting with both supervised and unsupervised algorithms. In particular, we have developed an unsupervised classification algorithm based on Independent Component Analysis (ICA). This algorithm is known as the ICA mixture model (ICAMM) algorithm and has shown promising results...

background celiac disease (cd) is a disorder associated with body reaction to gluten. after the gluten intake, an immune reaction against the protein occurs and damages villi of small intestine in celiac patients gradually. objectives the osc, a filtering method for minimization of inter- and intra-spectrometer variations that influence on data acquisition, was applied to biofluid nmr data of c...

background: the spread of urbanization in floodplains as well as increase of industrial and agricultural activities in river discharges may lead to water pollution by physical, chemical and biological pollutants. one of the major concerns in monitoring the water resources system is indentifying major quality parameters and determining a relationship between physical and chemical parameters. thi...

We propose a novel local appearance modeling method for object detection and recognition in cluttered scenes. The approach is based on the joint distribution of local feature vectors at multiple salient points and factorization with Independent Componenet Analysis (ICA). The resulting densities are simple multiplicative distributions modeled through adaptive Gaussian mixtures. This leads to com...
