The additional perihelion precession of Mercury due to general relativity can be calculated by a method that is no more difficult than solving for the Newtonian orbit. This relies on linearizing relativistic orbit equation, simpler standard textbook methods, and closely related Newton's theorem revolving orbits. main result accurate all values [Formula: see text] near-circular

Segmentation techniques play an important role in understanding high-resolution polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) images. PolSAR image segmentation is widely used as a preprocessing step for subsequent classification, scene interpretation and extraction of surface parameters. However, speckle noise and rich spatial features of heterogeneous regions lead to blurred boundaries of hig...

A line integral is defined as the integral of two-dimensional data along a (onedimensional, straight) line of given length and orientation. Line integrals are used in various forms of edge and line detectors in images and in the computation of the Radon transform. We present a recursive algorithm which enables approximation of discretized line integrals at all lengths, orientations, and locatio...

This paper presents a case study on the effect of lossy compression using Enhanced Compressed Wavelet (ECW) format remote sensing image classification. ECW was chosen because it is widely used as standard for storing aerial and satellite imagery. The conducted high-resolution multispectral Pleiades taken from an area in Makassar, Indonesia. Image classification performed geographic object-based...
