In this paper we develop a new procedure for entropic image edge detection. The presented method computes the Jensen–Shannon divergence of the normalized grayscale histogram of a set of multi-sized double sliding windows over the entire image. The procedure presents a good performance in images with textures, contrast variations and noise. We illustrate our procedure in the edge detection of me...

In this paper, we shall establish some fixed point theorems for mappings with the contractive  condition of integrable type on complete intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces $(X, M,N,*,lozenge)$. We also use Lebesgue-integrable mapping to obtain new results. Akram, Zafar, and Siddiqui introduced the notion of $A$-contraction mapping on metric space. In this paper by using the main idea of the work...

A mapping $f:V^n longrightarrow W$, where $V$ is a commutative semigroup, $W$ is a linear space and $n$ is a positive integer, is called multi-additive if it is additive in each variable. In this paper we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of multi-additive mappings in 2-Banach spaces. The corollaries from our main results correct some outcomes from [W.-G. Park, Approximate additive mappings i...

In this paper, we introduce a new concept in set-valued mappings which we have called condition $(UHS)$. Then, adding this condition to a new type of contractive set-valued mappings, recently has been introduced by Amini-Harandi [Fixed and coupled fixed points of a new type contractive set-valued mapping in complete metric spaces, Fixed point theory and applications, 215 (2012)], we prove that ...

The monitoring of crops is of vital importance for food and environmental security in a global and European context. The main goal of this study was to assess the crop mapping performance provided by the 100 m spatial resolution of PROBA-V compared to coarser resolution data (e.g., PROBA-V at 300 m) for a 2250 km test site in Bulgaria. The focus was on winter and summer crop mapping with three ...

We first extend properties of the Fuglede-Kadison determinant on a finite von Neumann algebra M to L p (M), any p > 0. Using this we give several useful variants of the noncommutative Szegö theorem for L p (M), including the one usually attributed to Kolmogorov and Krein. As applications, we generalize the noncommutative Jensen inequality, and generalize many of the classical results concerning...

We discuss how concepts such as geodesic length and the volume of space-time can appear in 2d topological gravity. We then construct a detailed mapping between the reduced Hermitian matrix model and 2d topological gravity at genus zero. This leads to a complete solution of the counting problem for planar graphs with vertices of even coordination number. The connection between multi-critical mat...

Photogrammetric UAV sees a surge in use for high-resolution mapping, but its use to map terrain under dense vegetation cover remains challenging due to a lack of exposed ground surfaces. This paper presents a novel object-oriented classification ensemble algorithm to leverage height, texture and contextual information of UAV data to improve landscape classification and terrain estimation. Its i...
