The advent of hyperspectral remote sensing has provided new opportunities for species mapping. However, the high dimensionality of hyperspectral data limits the application of parametric classifiers for species mapping because of the demand for a large number of training samples. This situation could change with the arrival of new spaceborne multispectral sensors such as WorldView-2 and RapidEy...

There have been significant critiques of scientism and certain elements of modern science inspired worldview from various quarters. But perhaps the most thoroughgoing, most uncompromising and most devastating critique that is based on alternative vision of Science and Epistemology and Metaphysics has come from the perennialists. In the present paper modernist scientific worldview shared by the ...

One of the most important tasks in urban remote sensing is the detection of impervious surfaces (IS), such as roofs and roads. However, detection of IS in heterogeneous areas still remains one of the most challenging tasks. In this study, detection of concrete roof using an object-based approach was proposed. A new rule-based classification was developed to detect concrete roof tile. This propo...

BACKGROUND Traumatic experience can affect the individual's basic beliefs about the world as a predictable and safe place. One of the cornerstones in recovery from trauma is reestablishment of safety, connectedness, and the shattered schema of a worldview. OBJECTIVE This study explored the role of negatively changed worldview in the relationship between war-related traumatization and readines...

Previous terror management research has demonstrated that mildly depressed participants show a greater increase in worldview defense in response to reminders of their mortality than do nondepressed participants. Because the cultural worldview is posited to provide a meaningful conception of life, we hypothesized that mildly depressed participants who defend their worldview in response to mortal...

Abstract I argue that philosophers of religion should not merely focus on religions but pay much more attention to the secular outlooks life emerging in contemporary society. To compare these outlooks, suggest we use notion worldview, and contrast religious worldviews with − rather than contrasting nonreligions, which scholars have recently tended do. Accordingly, people be contrasted ‘nones’. ...

There are several applications of vehicle information (position, speed, and direction). WorldView-2 satellite has three sensors: one Pan and two MS (MS-1: BGRN1, Pan, and MS-2:CYREN2). Because of a slight time gap in acquiring images from these sensors, the WorldView-2 images capture three different positions of the moving vehicles. This paper proposes a new technique to extract the vehicle inf...

Greenhouse mapping through remote sensing has received extensive attention over the last decades. In this article, the innovative goal relies on mapping greenhouses through the combined use of very high resolution satellite data (WorldView-2) and Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) time series within a context of an object-based image analysis (OBIA) and decision tree classification. Thus, ...

To reach its potential wildlife management needs a coherent purpose. Traditional divisions between science, society, and nature, however, create conflicts between responsibility to science, the public, and nature. These divisions emerged as early as Plato’s (400 BC) allegory of the cave. In Plato’s allegory human society existed inside a cave formed by its own delusions, and a philosopher or sc...
