Two classification algorithms that rely on both spectral and textural information are presented and compared. The first is a standard maximum-likelihood classification procedure with a texture "band" added to the spectral band set. The second is a pattern matching algorithm which integrates the spectral and spatial characteristics of the data in recognizing a user-specified training pattern. Th...

sabzkouh protected area, with the variety of natural ecosystems and landscapes, is very rich from the point of diversity in climate, topography, habitats and wildlife that is located in central zagros. evidences show that its ecosystems such as other iranian semiarid natural ecosystems, undergone changes in their vegetation structure over the past years. obtaining multi-spectral and multi-tempo...

seismic facies analysis (sfa) aims to classify similar seismic traces based on amplitude, phase,frequency, and other seismic attributes. sfa has proven useful in interpreting seismic data, allowingsignificant information on subsurface geological structures to be extracted. while facies analysis hasbeen widely investigated through unsupervised-classification-based studies, there are few casesass...

two different methods of bayesian segmentation algorithm were used with different band combinations. sequential maximum a posteriori (smap) is a bayesian image segmentation algorithm which unlike the traditional maximum likelihood (ml) classification attempts to improve accuracy by taking contextual information into account, rather than classifying pixels separately. landsat 7 etm+ data with pa...

forest types mapping, is one of the most necessary elements in the forest management and silviculture treatments. traditional methods such as field surveys are almost time-consuming and cost-intensive. improvements in remote sensing data sources and classification –estimation methods are preparing new opportunities for obtaining more accurate forest biophysical attributes maps. this research co...

land use change may influence many natural phenomena and ecological processes, including runoff, soil erosion, sedimentation and soil conditions. decreasing of forest area in the north of iran is one of the critical problems in recent years. the aims of this study are to detect land use changes between 1967 to 2002 using satellite images of land sat 7 etm+ (2002), aerial photos and digital topo...

A new technique presents to improve the performance of dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) for voltage sag mitigation. This control scheme is based on cuckoo search algorithm with tree fuzzy rule based classifier (CSA-TFRC). CSA is used for optimizing the output of TFRC so the classification output of the network is enhanced. While, the combination of cuckoo search algorithm, fuzzy and decision tree...
