Use of multisource remote sensing data, particularly Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and optical images, can improve performance of land cover classification since many types of information are involved in the classification process. Recently, the multiple classification systems (MCS) or ensemble classifiers has been developed and increasingly used for classifying remote sensing data. It is cons...

Four algorithmic skeletons for low-level image processing and intermediate-level computer vision are presented, related to a common divide and conquer higher order function. The parallel operation of each skeleton is described and their use in a complete parallel multisource image segmentation system is discussed.

This paper presents a reduced-order approach to near-field acoustical holography (NAH) that allows the user to account for sound fields generated by multiple spatially separated sources. In this method, an equivalent wave model (EWM) of a given field is formulated to include combinations of planar, cylindrical, spherical, or other elementary wave functions in contrast to an EWM restricted to a ...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether augmenting standard feedback on resident performance with a multisource feedback intervention improved pediatric resident communication skills and professionalism. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. SETTING Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio, from June 21, 2004, to July 7, 2005. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-six first-year pediatric residents. INT...

This paper presents a first experience on addressing the problem of quality management in MultiSource Information System (MSIS). In this paper we state the problem and perform some practical experience with the definition and classification of quality properties. We propose a correspondence between user-viewpoint and system-viewpoint quality properties, as well as a solution for the problem of ...

Bootstrap approach and Stochastic EM algorithm combination applied for the improvement of the multisource and multi-sensor image fusion process; was presented in this research. Improvement concerned not only image quality and reducing processing execution time as mentioned in our previous Bootstrap EM algorithm (BEM), but also regarding initialization dependence as well as fixed classes’ number...

Modern dataset sizes present major obstacles to understanding and interpreting the significant underlying phenomena represented in the data. There is a critical need to support scientists in the process of interactive exploration of these very large data sets. Using multiple resolutions of the data set (multiresolution), the scientist can identify potentially interesting regions with a coarse o...
