Smart grid is a new approach for electric power grid that uses information and communications technology to control the electric power grid. Smart grid provides real-time control of the electric power grid, controlling the direction of power flow or time of the flow. Control devices are installed on the power lines of the electric power grid to implement smart grid. The number of the control de...

We seek to understand and correct shading artifacts caused by varying solar illumination conditions and different viewing angles in remotely sensed images. A synthetic image simulating the shading effects for the sun angle and viewing angle as a real image, is generated using a terrain reflectance model and digital elevation data. A good correlation is obtained between the real and synthetic im...

the objective of this study was to assess the relationship betweenvegetation, landform and physicochemical properties of soil. at the first terrainmap unit were provided using the landsat thematic mapper (tm) satellite images,aerial photograph, topographical and geology map. field sampling was done in therepresentative area using plot sampling. 104 plots 100 m2 were sampled in eachplot landform...

In this paper, a new wavelet based image interpolation algorithm is proposed for remote sensing images. Remote sensing images include many mid and high frequency elements such as aerial and satellite photograph images. These frequency elements contain important information. Because conventional interpolation techniques have blurring or blocking effects, the quality of interpolated remote sensin...

Since the computer power was restricted once, they needed special facility to analyze satellite data or they must do the photointerpretation. But by the downsizing of the computers, they can perform the analysis using their personal computer. But the residents in rural areas including farmers will not be familiar with such computer analysis. Therefore the author intends to revive the photograph...

We introduce the term " Anywhere Augmentation " to refer to the idea of linking location-specific computing services with the physical world, making them readily and directly available in any situation and location. This chapter presents a novel approach to " Anywhere Augmentation " based on efficient human input for wearable computing and augmented reality (AR). Current mobile and wearable com...
