Motivated by recent data analyses in biomedical imaging studies, we consider a class of image-on-scalar regression models for responses and scalar predictors. We propose using flexible multivariate splines over triangulations to handle the irregular domain objects interest on images, as well other characteristics images. The proposed estimators coefficient functions are proved be root-n consist...

Multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) has been adopted as a popular surrogate function to model the unknown relationships between input and output variables in complex systems. Searching optimal solutions on complicated response surface of MARS serves important tasks various applications. In this paper, we present an efficient effective approach find global value models that incorpora...

The application of recycled aggregate as a sustainable material in construction projects is considered promising approach to decrease the carbon footprint concrete structures. Prediction compressive strength (CS) environmentally friendly (EF) containing important for understanding structures’ behaviour. In this research, capability deep learning neural network (DLNN) examined on simulation CS E...

This paper describes maximum likelihood estimation techniques for performing rover localization in natural terrain by matching range maps. An occupancy map of the local terrain is rst generated using stereo vision. The position of the rover with respect to a previously generated occupancy map is then computed by comparing the maps using a probabilistic formulation of image matching techniques. ...

Surface-upwelling longwave radiation (LWUP) is an important component of the surface radiation budget. Under the general framework of the hybrid method, the linear models and the multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS) models are developed to estimate the 750 m instantaneous clear-sky LWUP from the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) radiance of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) ...

Inferred wind-related modifications of impact craters are observed in the vicinity of the Mars Pathfinder (MPF) site and in other regions of Mars. Mars Obiter Camera (MOC) images show three types of inferred wind-modified morphologies for craters 0.3–1 km in diameter. Such modifications could be related to seasonal variations of the strongest winds and a possible paleowind regime. Geomorphic ma...
