This work reported the green and facile fabrication of a versatile lignin-AuNP composite, which was readily and remotely encapsulated to form novel liquid marbles. The marbles can stay suspended in water, and show excellent photothermal conversion properties, as well as visual detection and adsorption towards Pb2+. More importantly, the marbles can simultaneously remotely detect and adsorb Pb2+...

A dynamic parameter estimation experiment for first-order systems is described. A novel feature of the experiment is its accessibility for remote execution via the Internet. The concept of a remotely shared laboratory has been proposed as a way to use readily available communication facilities to share expensive laboratory facilities among several universities. The dynamic parameter estimation ...

The RepeatMasker program is used for identifying repetitive elements in nucleotide sequences for further detailed analyses. Users can run RepeatMasker remotely via a Web site, or, for larger input sequences, the program and its dependent programs may be downloaded and run locally on Unix/Linux computers. The protocols in this chapter detail how to use RepeatMasker both remotely and locally to e...

We have developed an automated feature detection/classification system, called GENetic Imagery Exploitation (GENIE), which has been designed to generate image processing pipelines for a variety of feature detection/classification tasks. GENIE is a hybrid evolutionary algorithm that addresses the general problem of finding features of interest in multispectral remotely-sensed images. We describe...

Fuzzy methods in remote sensing have received growing interest for their particular value in situations where the geographical phenomena are inherently fuzzy. A fuzzy approach is investigated for the classi® cation of sub-urban land cover from remote sensing imagery and the evaluation of classi® cation accuracy. Under the fuzzy strategy, fuzziness, intrinsic to both remotely sensed data and gro...

This paper presents an improved edge detection algorithm for facial and remotely sensed images using vector order statistics. The developed algorithm processes coloured images directly without been converted to grey scale. A number of the existing algorithms converts the coloured images into grey scale before detection of edges. But this process leads to inaccurate precision of recognized edges...

Remotely sensed data and the instruments that acquire them are core parts of Earth and planetary observation systems. They are used to quantify the Earth’s interconnected systems, and remote sensing is the only way to get a daily, or more frequent, snapshot of the status of the Earth. It really is the Earth’s stethoscope. In a similar manner remote sensing is the rock hammer of the planetary sc...

as the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. this processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...

Clustering is unsupervised classification of patterns into groups. Neural networks are very useful tools for performing clustering. In this paper, we propose a new model for using artificial neural networks to perform clustering tasks on remotely sensed imagery. This model generates self-organizing maps (SOM) based on remotely sensed imagery and such related data as yield, nitrate, and moisture...
