Video magnification is a computational procedure to reveal subtle variations during video frames that are invisible to the naked eye. A new spatio-temporal method which makes use of connectivity based mapping of the wavelet sub-bands is introduced here for exaggerating of small motions during video frames. In this method, firstly the wavelet transformed frames are mapped to connectivity space a...

Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a technique that attempts to separate data into maximally independent groups. Achieving maximal independence in space or time yields two varieties of ICA meaningful for functional MRI (fMRI) applications: spatial-ICA (SICA) and temporal-ICA (TICA). SICA has so far dominated the application of ICA to fMRI. The objective of these experiments was to study IC...

This analysis was conducted on 31 synoptic stations in Iran. Initially, the Mann-Kendall test was administered in order to analyse the trend of alterations of these two components over time and the results suggest that 16% of the stations show significant relationship with annual precipitation (positive and negative). More stations showed significant relationships between sunspots and minimum a...

analysis of the spatial and temporal trends of precipitation and temperature are pertinent for future development and sustainable management of water resources in a given region. in this paper, we present a study concerning the climatic behavior of two principal observables variables, viz. monthly temperature (maximum and minimum) and mean precipitations obtained from the measurements carried o...

in order to have spatial and temporal analysis of iran extreme cold days' trend, the average of daily temperature data from 663 synoptic and climatologic stations of iran during the period of 1961/21/03 to 2004/19/03 were used. then, temperature data on 15*15 kilometer pixels were interpolated using kriging method for iran. the extreme cold days were identified by normalized temperature di...

introduction earth has ever been exposed to environmental hazards. the hazards are continually occurring in the world in the recent years. among them, atmospheric elements have created many human and financial losses in different regions. one of the hazards is dust events and in its severe case is dust storm. it happens more frequently in arid and semiarid regions in deserts and their surroundi...

introduction water vapor is an essential climate element. through latent heat exchanges, the water vapor is considered as the principal way of energy transport through the global atmosphere and it is also a dominant greenhouse gas (held and soden, 2000). over the oceans, warmer surface temperatures may lead to increased evaporation and, therefore, greater specific humidity, but an approximately...
