To date, prevention of natural disasters is only rarely achieved, and such events continue to pose an increasing threat to life and property. Especially following earthquakes, there is a need for rapid, accurate and reliable damage information in the critical postevent hours. Remote sensing technology can provide valuable information for response activities due to potentially high spatialtempor...

Automated and reliable 3D city model acquisition is an increasing demand. Automatic road extraction from dense urban areas is a challenging issue due to the high complex image scene. From imagery, the obstacles of the extraction stem mainly from the difficulty of finding clues of the roads and complexity of the contextual environments. One of the promising methods to deal with this is to use da...

A target recognition capability is described which performs: color detection, target type and pose hypothesis generation, and target veri cation by 3D alignment of target models to range and optical imagery. The term `coregistration' is introduced to describe target, range and optical sensor alignment. The following key veri cation components are described and demonstrated: target-model feature...

Visual mental imagery, or the ability to see with mind’s eye, varies between individuals. The vividness of a image ranges from aphantasics who experience no at all, hyperphantasics extremely vivid and clear imagery. present study aims investigate possible connection visual imagery precision information retrieved memory. We predicted that individuals weak are poorer retrieving great details memo...

A target recognition capability is described which performs color detection target type and pose hypothesis generation and target ver i cation by D alignment of target models to range and optical imagery The term coregis tration is introduced to describe target range and optical sensor alignment The following key veri cation components are described and demonstrated target model feature extract...

Vehicle Extraction from aerial images is an important research topic in surveillance, traffic monitoring and military applications. In this paper, an approach based on Automatic Multilevel Thresholding has been proposed for extracting vehicles from aerial imagery. The approach combines Genetic Algorithm with DWT to make segmentation faster and geometric feature of vehicles for vehicle extractio...

Vividness is one of the fundamental characteristics of visual mental imagery. The first research goal was to examine whether vividness that refer to imagery of pictorial object (color, texture, or shape) versus spatial (three dimensional structure, location, or mechanism) properties constitute separate vividness dimensions. The second goal was to develop a vividness questionnaire separately ass...

We introduce the task of automatically estimating the age of historical color photographs. We suggest features which attempt to capture temporally discriminative information based on the evolution of color imaging processes over time and evaluate the performance of both these novel features and existing features commonly utilized in other problem domains on a novel historical image data set. Fo...
