the estimation of pollution fields, especially in densely populated areas, is an important application in the field of environmental science due to the significant effects of air pollution on public health. in this paper, we investigate the spatial distribution of three air pollutants in tehran’s atmosphere: carbon monoxide (co), nitrogen dioxide (no2), and atmospheric particulate matters less ...

We describe an efficient method for planning in environments for which prior maps are plagued with uncertainty. Our approach processes the map to determine key areas whose uncertainty is crucial to the planning task. It then incorporates the uncertainty associated with these areas using the recently developed PAO* algorithm to produce a fast, robust solution to the original planning task.

a review of damages caused by landslide shows the need for studying effective parameters in landslide occurrence and prediction. this study aims to improve landslide prediction results for tutkabon region in gilan province. to this end, shannon entropy theory was employed for modeling and considering data uncertainty. slope, height, geomorphologic conditions, earth’s curve, closeness to river, ...

Abstract. We present some generalizations of quantum information inequalities involving tracial positive linear maps between C∗-algebras. Among several results, we establish a noncommutative Heisenberg uncertainty relation. More precisely, we show that if Φ : A → B is a tracial positive linear map between C∗-algebras , ρ ∈ A is a Φ-density element and A,B are self-adjoint operators of A such th...

Background: Polymer gel dosimeters combined with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used for dose verification of advanced radiation therapy techniques. However, the uncertainty of dose map measured by gel dosimeter should be known. The purpose of this study is to investigate the uncertainty related to calibration curve and MRI protocol for MAGIC (Methacrylic and Ascorbic acid in Gelatin I...

Uncertainty exists widely in geographic data. However, it is often disregarded during data analysis and decision making. Proper visualization of uncertainty can help map users understand uncertainty in geographic data and make informed decisions. The study reported in this paper examines map users’ perception of and preferences for different visual variables to report uncertainty on bivariate m...

This paper analyzes the problem of motion estimation from a sequence of stereo images. Two methods are considered and their differential and discrete approaches are compared. The differential approaches use differential optical flow whereas the discrete approaches use feature correspondences. Both methods are used to compute, first, the 3D velocity in the direction of the optical axis and, next...

Infinite product formulae for conformally mapping an unbounded multiply connected circle domain to an unbounded canonical radial or circular slit domain, or to domains with both radial and circular slit boundary components are derived and implemented numerically and graphically. The formulae are generated by analytic continuation with the reflection principle. Convergence of the infinite produc...
