We present a novel method for correcting the significance level of hypothesis testing that requires multiple comparisons. It is based on the spectral graph theory, in which the variables are seen as the vertices of a complete undirected graph and the correlation matrix as the adjacency matrix that weights its edges. the method increases the statistical power of the analysis by refuting the assumption of independence among variables, while keeping the probability of false positives low. By computing the eigenvalues of the correlation matrix, it is possible to obtain valuable information about the dependence levels among the variables of the problem, so that the effective number of independent variables can be estimated. the method is compared to other available models and its effectiveness illustrated in case studies involving high-dimensional sets of variables.

this paper presents a high-spatial-resolution dataset with remote sensing images of the brazilian Cerrado for land use and land cover classification. the Biome Cerrado Dataset (Cerra-Data) is a large database created from 150 scenes of the CBERS-4A satellite. images were created by merging the near-infrared, green, and blue bands. Moreover, pan-sharpening was performed between all the scenes and their respective panchromatic bands, resulting in a final spatial resolution of two meters. A total of 2.5 million tiles of 256x256 pixels were derived from these scenes. From this total, 50 thousand tiles were labeled. We also conducted a few-shot learning experiment considering a training set with only 100 samples, 11 deep neural networks (DNNs), and two traditional machine learning (ML) algorithms, i.e., support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF). Results show that the DNN DenseNet-161 was the best model but its performance can be improved if it is used only as a feature extractor, leaving the classification task for the traditional ML algorithms. However, by decreasing the size of the training set, smarter approaches are needed. the labeled subset of CerraData as well as the source code we developed to support this study are available on-line: https://***/ai4luc/CerraData-code-data.

Many power line companies are using UAVs to perform their inspection processes instead of putting their workers at risk by making them climb high voltage power line towers, for instance. A crucial task for the inspection is to detect and classify assets in the power transmission lines. However, public data related to power line assets are scarce, preventing a faster evolution of this area. this work proposes the STN Power Line Assets Dataset, containing high-resolution and real-world images of multiple high-voltage power line components. It has 2,409 annotated objects divided into five classes: transmission tower, insulator, spacer, tower plate, and Stockbridge damper, which vary in size (resolution), orientation, illumination, angulation, and background. this work also presents an evaluation with popular deep object detection methods and MS-PAD, a new pipeline for detecting power line assets in hi-res UAV images. the latter outperforms the other methods achieving 89.2% mAP, showing considerable room for improvement.
In this paper, histogram uniformization of digital images by means of the finite field cosine transform (FFCT) is examined. the approach consists in dividing the image into blocks and applying the FFCT, in a recursive...

Numerous segmentation methods are able to produce several partitions of the same image by tuning a scale parameter. In such a series of multilevel segmentations, if every region at a given level is included in a single region of the segmentation at the next level, then the series is called a hierarchy. Hierarchies are often desired for multiscale image representation and analysis due to their mathematical properties, leading to accurate and efficient solutions. Although certain effective strategies may not produce a hierarchy, it is uncertain whether their multiscale output is close to be one. this work explores several cases when analyzing two consecutive segmentations, as full inflation and full merge, for instance. From those, we provide three measures for evaluating the hierarchiness between two subsequent partitions: (i) nestedness;(ii) refinement error;and (iii) inflation ration. Using our proposals in a in-sequence pairwise comparison, as shown by the experimental results, it is possible to verify whether a multiscale segmentation is a hierarchy and, if not, to analyze the nature and extent of the hierarchical errors that prevent it from becoming hierarchical.
