an ideal fusion method preserves the spectral information in fused image without spatial distortion. the pca is believed to be a well-known pan-sharpening approach and being widely used for its efficiency and high spatial resolution. however, it can distort the spectral characteristics of multispectral images. the current paper tries to present a new fusion method based on the same concept. in ...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is a disease with high disabling disorders and considerable social and economic impacts. this study was conducted to analyze the spatial distribution of ms disease in tehran, iran during 2001-2012.the existing information in the ms patients' medical files who had registered in iranian ms society (imss), located in tehran office, was used for analysis. the relationship be...

this paper introduces a novel methodology for the segmentation of brain ms lesions in mri volumes using a new clustering algorithm named scpfcm.  scpfcm uses membership, typicality and spatial information to cluster each voxel. the proposed method relies on an initial segmentation of ms lesions in t1-w and t2-w images by applying scpfcm algorithm, and the t1 image is then used as a mask and is ...

extended abstractintroductiontoday is the world of information and its optimal uses (davies, 2003). information, doubtless, as the most important tools for managers and executive decision-makerscan play a significant role in solving the problems and meeting the needs (warnest, 2005). spatial data are discussed as one of the most sensitive and important factors in decision-making and planning in...
