Determination of Best Supervised Classification Algorithm for Land Use Maps using Satellite Images (Case Study: Baft, Kerman Province, Iran)

According to the fundamental goal of remote sensing technology, the image classification of desired sensors can be introduced as the most important part of satellite image interpretation. There exist various algorithms in relation to the supervised land use classification that the most pertinent one should be determined. Therefore, this study has been conducted to determine the best and most su...

Training Radial Basis Function Neural Network using Stochastic Fractal Search Algorithm to Classify Sonar Dataset

Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBF NNs) are one of the most applicable NNs in the classification of real targets. Despite the use of recursive methods and gradient descent for training RBF NNs, classification improper accuracy, failing to local minimum and low-convergence speed are defects of this type of network. In order to overcome these defects, heuristic and meta-heuristic algorith...

Document Analysis And Classification Based On Passing Window

In this paper we present Document analysis and classification system to segment and classify contents of Arabic document images. This system includes preprocessing, document segmentation, feature extraction and document classification. A document image is enhanced in the preprocessing by removing noise, binarization, and detecting and correcting image skew. In document segmentation, an algorith...

Light Transport Simulation with Vertex Connection and Merging (supplemental document)

Benchmarked algorithms. For each scene we show images rendered with (1) path tracing (PT), (2) bidirectional path tracing (BPT), (3) stochastic progressive photon mapping (PPM), (4) a combination of BPT and PPM based on a heuristic caustic path classification (BPT-PPM), two variants of Metropolis light transport: (5) MLTVeach [Veach and Guibas 1997]) and (6) MLT-Kelemen [Kelemen et al. 2002], a...
