Accurate mapping of forests is critical for forest management and carbon stocks monitoring. Deep learning (DL) becoming more popular in Earth observation (EO), however, the availability reference data limits its potential wide-area mapping. To overcome those limitations, here we introduce contrastive regression into EO-based develop a novel semisupervised framework wall-to-wall continuous varia...

XlML semi-structured documents provide a flexible and natural way to capture data. More often, users exchange documents with others or reuse their data in a wide range of tasks. A direct consequence is a growing need to manage semi-structured documents and to gain conventional database functionality. The aim of our research I S the development of a comprehensive capturing and mapping data syste...

In this paper, we introduce a fast estimate algorithm for discriminant training of semi-continuous HMM (Hidden Markov Models). We first present the Frame Discrimination (FD) method proposed in [9] for weight re-estimate. Then, the weight update equation is formulated in the specific framework of semi-continuous models. Finally, we propose an approximated update function which requires a very lo...

If U and V are topologies on an abstract set X, then the triple (X, U, V) is a bitopological space. Using the theorem of Priestley on the representation of distributive lattices, results of Dilworth concerning the normal completion of the lattice of bounded, continuous, realvalued functions on a topological space are extended to include the lattice of bounded, semi-continuous, real-valued funct...

It is a consequence of known results^) that any compact light open mapping / of one two-dimensional manifold A into another one B has a definite finite degree k(f), that is, there is an integer k(f) such that for each y£j(A),f~l(y) contains exactly k(f) points provided the points of/_l(y) are counted with multiplicity in an obvious manner. Further, considered as a function on the subset O of co...
