Hyperspectral data has become a critical tool for use by military analysts and planners. The capture of fine spectral information enables the generation of information products which could not be produced using traditional imaging means. The challenge facing hyperspectral technology, as an operational capability, is with conversion of the raw sensor data into a useful information product that i...

Geospatial reasoning has been an essential aspect of military planning since the invention of cartography. Although maps have always been a focal point for developing situational awareness, the dawning era of network-centric operations brings the promise of unprecedented battlefield advantage due to improved geospatial situational awareness. Geographic information systems (GIS) and GIS-based de...

State-of-the-art military sensors have unprecedented requirements in the volume of environmental data to be measured and processed. To handle this data and provide “actionable intelligence” to the soldier as soon as possible, sensor system logic requires optimized combinations of logic and digital signal processing (DSP) density, high-speed transceivers, power-versus-performance design flexibil...

Today, a great deal of data is generated in the medical field. Acquiring useful knowledge from this raw data requires data processing and detection of meaningful patterns and this objective can be achieved through data mining. Using data mining to diagnose and prognose heart diseases has become one of the areas of interest for researchers in recent years. In this study, the literature on the ap...
