the field study was conducted in one district of educational-experimental forest at tehran university (kheirood-kenar forest) in the north of iran. eighty-five soil profiles were dug in the site of study and several chemical and physical soil properties were considered. these factors included: soil ph, soil texture, bulk density, organic carbon, total nitrogen, extractable phosphorus and depth ...

In this work the application of multivariate curve resolution is proposed for the analysis of Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) data. Recently, developments in the ionization of samples have dramatically expanded the number of applications of MSI due to the possibility of collecting the mass spectrum for each pixel of a considered surface in a reasonable time. Using this method, both spatial dist...

In this paper, we present techniques for steganalysis of images that have been potentially subjected to a watermarking algorithm. We show that watermarking schemes leave statistical evidence or structure that can be exploited for detection with the aid of proper selection of image features and multivariate regression analysis. We use some image quality metrics as the feature set to distinguish ...

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis has been carried out with a series of 107 anti-HIV HEPT compounds with antiviral activity, which was performed by chemometrics methods. Bi-dimensional images were used to calculate some pixels and multivariate image analysis was applied to QSAR modelling of the anti-HIV potential of HEPT analogues by means of multivariate calibration,...

BACKGROUND The last two decades have seen a growing trend towards the research of voting behavior in post-communist countries. Urban sociology theorists state that not only space structures influence political participation, but also space structures are changing under the influence of global, local, and individual factors. The growing role played by information in the globalised world has acce...

Techniques based on Bag Of Words approach represent images by quantizing local descriptors and summarizing their distribution in a histogram. Differently, in this paper we describe an image as multivariate Gaussian distribution, estimated over the extracted local descriptors. The estimated distribution is mapped to a high-dimensional descriptor, by concatenating the mean vector and the projecti...

This article presents a new approach for constructing connected operators for image processing and analysis. It relies on a hierarchical Markovian unsupervised algorithm in order to classify the nodes of the traditional Max-Tree. This approach enables to naturally handle multivariate attributes in a robust non-local way. The technique is demonstrated on several image analysis tasks: filtering, ...

Our current research focus is on the representation and visualization of multidimensional multivariate (mDmV) data. We are developing a visualization evaluation tool, whose primary goal is to provide an environment for visualization researchers to evaluate human responses to different computer generated visual images. It has the ability to create mDmV data with embeddedstimuli, and display them...
