forest classification on the basis of satellite images is a promising technique both for primary map production and for map updating and forest monitoring. for accurate for-est classification into three classes, using mapping by canopy cover density “high spatial resolution satellite images have to be used in order to obtain the required spatial detail” [schneider, 1999]. at the same time, the ...

Although ‘Halcyon’ means serene environment which pervasive computing aims at, we have tried to present a different interpretation of this word. Through our approach, we look at it in context of achieving future ‘calm technology’. The paper gives a general overview of the state of pervasive computing today, proposes the ‘HALCYON Model’ and outlines the ‘social’ challenges faced by system design...

The reflections recorded on satellite images have been affected by various environmental factors. In these images, some of these factors are combined with other environmental factors that cannot be distinguished. Therefore, it seems wise to model these environmental phenomena in the form of hybrid indicators. In this regard, satellite imagery and machine learning methods can play a unique role ...

the role of some ring structures in the distribution of porphyry copper deposits in south kerman porphyry copper belt is discussed. in the study area, ring structures are circular or elliptical shaped features which are partly recognized on satellite images. in this study, landsat multispectral images were used to identify ring structures in the area. the rudimentary identification stages of th...
