land use change may influence many natural phenomena and ecological processes, including runoff, soil erosion, sedimentation and soil conditions. decreasing of forest area in the north of iran is one of the critical problems in recent years. the aims of this study are to detect land use changes between 1967 to 2002 using satellite images of land sat 7 etm+ (2002), aerial photos and digital topo...

in a voice conversion system speech signal of a speaker (i.e. source speaker) is modified so that it sounds as if it had been pronounced by b speaker (i.e. target speaker). this process, sometimes, is called speaker conversion (changing speaker identity). achieved signal from speaker conversion system is desired to have high quality and very natural. to satisfy this, three major methods are pro...

in this paper, the dierential transform method (dtm) is applied to the fisherequation. this method can be used to obtain the exact solutions of fisherequation. finally, we give some examples to illustrate the suciency of themethod for solving such nonlinear partial dierential equations. these resultsshow that this technique is easy to apply.

     Data reduction is used to aggregate or amalgamate the large data sets into smaller and manageable information pieces in order to fast and accurate classification of different attributes. However, excessive spatial or spectral data reduction may result in losing or masking important radiometric information. Therefore, we conducted this research to evaluate the effectiveness of the different...

In this work, we first reformulate the unsteady flow of gas through a porous medium problem in [0,+∞) to a problem in [-1,1] by variable transformation μ = (x-s)/(x+s), and using spectral collocation method based on Chebyshev polynomials to approximate the resulting problem. The comparison of the results obtained by this method with results obtained by other methods shows that this method provi...

Image transformation is the initial step for color texture image segmentation. Various techniques are available for the transformation along the spatial and spectral axes. This paper compares three methods of image transformation along the spectral axis HSV, PCA, and ICA. Quantitative comparison is performed in terms of the number of cluster estimated with different validity indexes – average S...
