In wireless sensor networks, to obtain a long network lifetime is a fundamental issue while without sacrificing crucial aspects of quality of service (area coverage, sensing reliability, and network connectivity). In this paper, we present a Voronoi-based sleeping configuration to deal with different sensing radii and location error. With our proposed sleeping candidate condition, redundant sensors are optionally identified and scheduled to sleep in order to extend the system lifetime while maintaining adequate sensor redundancy to tolerate sensor failures, energy depletions, and location error. Simulation results show that there is a tradeoff among energy conservation, area coverage, and fault tolerance, which varies between different sleeping candidate conditions.

Local invariants are powerful tools to recognize objects in an image under transformations. In this study, we propose a novel method to detect residential regions by using local SIFT (scale invariant feature transform) features in satellite images. For this purpose, we construct graphs using image features as nodes and their neighborhoods as edges. We then match the extracted graphs with the ones in our database. Our method is able to detect various residential regions.

Boundary detection in natural images represents an important but also challenging problem in computer vision. Motivated by studies in psychophysics claiming that humans use multiple cues for segmentation, several promising methods have been proposed which perform boundary detection by optimally combining local image measurements such as color, texture, and brightness. Very interesting results have been reported by applying these methods on challenging datasets such as the Berkeley segmentation benchmark. Although combining different cues for boundary detection has been shown to outperform methods using a single cue, results can be further improved by integrating perceptual organization cues with the boundary detection process. The main goal of this study is to investigate how and when perceptual organization cues improve boundary detection in natural images. In this context, we investigate the idea of integrating with segmentation the iterative multi-scale tensor voting (IMSTV), a variant of tensor voting (TV) that performs perceptual grouping by analyzing information at multiple-scales and removing background clutter in an iterative fashion, preserving salient, organized structures. The key idea is to use IMSTV to post-process the boundary posterior probability (PB) map produced by segmentation algorithms. Detailed analysis of our experimental results reveals how and when perceptual organization cues are likely to improve or degrade boundary detection. In particular, we show that using perceptual grouping as a post-processing step improves boundary detection in 84% of the grayscale test images in the Berkeley segmentation dataset.

Automatically identifying objects and people left in the interior of vehicles is highly desirable because human monitoring has high running costs and low efficiency associated with it. A new Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system currently being designed by Advanced Transport Systems Ltd (ATS) features many autonomous vehicles and therefore the task is of particular importance. This paper describes two approaches that use changes in the visual image of the interior to predict the likelihood of left objects and remaining people. The first approach is based on identifying structural differences. The second approach uses a shading model method. A variation of the shading model with information from the colour channels is also described. The results show that the modified shading model approach gives the best performance.

The option to introduce spaceborne data that enables to recognize spatial patterns, to enhance ground‐collected data, to acquire high‐resolution spatial and spectral data, and to incorporate this data into a Geographic Information Systems (GIS), has been recently recognized and used by the geological research community. The current paper presents the development of a semi‐automated model for geological mapping and 3D geodata investigation based on a set of imageprocessing and GIS techniques. The aim of the developed methodology is to extract lithological and structural information by combining geological object recognition of hyperspectral spaceborne data and GIS data mining and analysis. Input data consist of a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and a hyperspectral satellite image. These data serve as the basis for a supervised classification of the geological units and for extracting geostructural data in order to construct a 3D database of the area's geology. The output is stratigraphic information (such as dip and strike) that can be used for mapping and constructing 2.5D/3D models of the subsurface or, in conjunction with additional thematic layers, for geological spatial analysis.

This paper presents a multi-band wavelet image content authentication scheme for satellite images by incorporating the principal component analysis (PCA). The proposed scheme achieves higher perceptual transparency and stronger robustness. Specifically, the developed watermarking scheme can successfully resist common signal processing such as JPEG compression and geometric distortions such as cropping. In addition, the proposed scheme can be parameterized, thus resulting in more security. That is, an attacker may not be able to extract the embedded watermark if the attacker does not know the parameter. In an order to meet these requirements, the host image is transformed to YIQ to decrease the correlation between different bands, Then Multi-band Wavelet transform (M-WT) is applied to each channel separately obtaining one approximate sub band and fifteen detail sub bands. PCA is then applied to the coefficients corresponding to the same spatial location in all detail sub bands. The last principle component band represents an excellent domain for inserting the water mark since it represents lowest correlated features in high frequency area of host image. One of the most important aspects of satellite images is spectral signature, the behavior of different features in different spectral bands, the results of proposed algorithm shows that the spectral stamp for different features doesn't tainted after inserting the watermark.

This paper considers the problem of high-resolution imaging of the environment formalized in terms of a nonlinear ill-posed inverse problem of nonparametric estimation of the power spatial spectrum pattern (SSP) of the wavefield scattered from an extended remotely sensed scene (referred to as the scene image) via processing the discrete measurements of a finite number of independent realizations of the observed degraded radar data signals (one realization of the trajectory signal in the case of SAR). The model-level uncertainties are associated with unknown statistics of perturbations of the signal formation operator (SFO) in turbulent environment. The system-level uncertainties are attributed to the imperfect array calibration, finite dimensionality of measurements, uncontrolled antenna vibrations and random carrier trajectory deviations in the case of SAR. An effective method for SSP reconstruction is therefore proposed by incorporating into the minimum risk (MR) nonparametric spectral estimation strategy the experiment design-motivated constraints of SSP observability/identifiability for the finite-dimensional range continuous-to-discrete SFO algorithmically coupled with descriptive experiment design regularization (DEDR) and unified with worst-case statistical performance optimization approach. The MR objective functional is constrained by this information, and the robust DEDR reconstruction operator applicable to the scenarios with the low-rank uncertain estimated data correlation matrices is found. We also show how this algorithm may be considered generalization of the robust MVDR and the regularized inverse spatial filtering techniques. The efficiency of the developed technique is illustrated via numerical simulations.
