Interactive System for Coastline Extraction in Sar Images

The aim of this work is to develop a prototype system, that is a software tool that contributes to monitor the coastline. In fact it, constituted by a set of techniques and methods for SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) image segmentation, can aid to investigate the state of conservation of the coastal…

Simultaneous wavelet deconvolution in periodic setting

Improving solve time of aggregation-based adaptive AMG

This paper proposes improving the solve time of a bootstrap algebraic multigrid (AMG) designed previously by the authors. This is achieved by incorporating the information, a set of algebraically smooth vectors, generated by the bootstrap algorithm, in a single hierarchy by using sufficiently large…

Immunological network signatures of cancer progression and survival

Geometric transport along circular orbits in stationary axisymmetric spacetimes

Parallel transport along circular orbits in orthogonally transitive stationary axisymmetric spacetimes is described explicitly relative to Lie transport in terms of the electric and magnetic parts of the induced connection. The influence of both the gravitoelectromagnetic fields associated with the…

Panic, Irrationality, and Herding: Three Ambiguous Terms in Crowd Dynamics Research

Background. The three terms "panic", "irrationality", and "herding" are ubiquitous in the crowd dynamics literature and have a strong influence on both modelling and management practices. The terms are also commonly shared between the scientific and nonscientific domains. The pervasiveness of the…

Statistical cloud detection from SEVIRI multispectral images

Cloud detection from geostationary satellite multispectral images through statistical methodologies is investigated. Discriminant analysis methods are considered to this purpose, endowed with a nonparametric density estimation and a linear transform into principal and independent components. The…

Multiphase semiclassical approximation of an electron in a one-dimensional crystalline lattice, I. Homogeneous problems

We present a computational approach for the WKB approximation of the wave function of an electron moving in a periodic one-dimensional crystal lattice. We derive a nonstrictly hyperbolic system for the phase and the intensity where the flux functions originate from the Bloch spectrum of the…

A fast and Robust spectrogram reassignment method

The improvement of the readability of time-frequency transforms is an important topic in the field of fast-oscillating signal processing. The reassignment method is often used due to its adaptivity to different transforms and nice formal properties. However, it strongly depends on the selection of…

Experimental approach to the selection of the components in the Minimum Noise Fraction

An experimental method to select the number of principal components in minimum noise fraction (MNF) is proposed to process images measured by imagery sensors onboard aircraft or satellites. The method is based on an experimental measurement by spectrometers in dark conditions from which noise…
