Decreasing the use of pesticides is one main goals current agriculture, which requires fast, precise and continuous assessments crop pests. Citrus pests cause a lot damage worldwide techniques to evaluate them are mainly based on manual, time-consuming readings insects stuck traps spread over crops. This case red scale insects, whose control notably challenging due their small size high reprodu...

two different methods of bayesian segmentation algorithm were used with different band combinations. sequential maximum a posteriori (smap) is a bayesian image segmentation algorithm which unlike the traditional maximum likelihood (ml) classification attempts to improve accuracy by taking contextual information into account, rather than classifying pixels separately. landsat 7 etm+ data with pa...

introduction raman spectroscopy is a vibrational spectroscopic technique, based on inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. this technique can provide valuable information about biomolecular changes, associated with neoplastic transformation. the purpose of this study was to find raman spectral markers for distinguishing normal samples from cancerous ones in different tissues. materials and...

abstract the amount of needed fertilizer in agricultural soils depends to the type of crop. absence of enough fertilizer may cause in tensions in plants and consequently result in decrease in amount of product. according to the agricultural literature, soils containing total nitrogen amounts (n %) between 0.1-0.15 percent are considered as soils containing normal amounts of nitrogen. the values...

In our original paper (Wiseman & Milton, 1999), we described a number of potential information leakage pathways in Experiment One of the SAIC remote viewing program. In this paper, we counter May’s assertion that the proposed leakage paths could not have accounted for the observed difference between performance in the static-target and dynamic target conditions and refute May’s claim that there...

Correlated sources are present in communication systems where protocols ensure that there is some predetermined information for sources. Here correlated sources across an eavesdropped channel that incorporate a heterogeneous encoding scheme and their effect on the information leakage when some channel information and a source have been wiretapped is investigated. The information leakage bounds ...

Hyperspectral sensors provide a large number of spectral bands. This massive and complex data structure of hyperspectral images presents a challenge to traditional data processing techniques. Therefore, reducing the dimensionality of hyperspectral images without losing important information is a very important issue for the remote sensing community. We propose to use overlap-based feature weigh...
