One of the most widely used approaches to analyze hyperspectral data is pixel unmixing, which relies on the identification of the purest spectra from the data cube. Once these elements, known as "endmembers", are extracted, several methods can be used to map their spatial distributions, associations and abundances. A large variety of methodologies have been recently proposed with the purpose of extracting endmembers from hyperspectral data. Nevertheless, most of them only rely on the spectral response;spatial information has not been fully exploited yet, specially in unsupervised classification. The integration of both spatial and spectral information is becoming more relevant as the sensors tend to increase their spatial/spectral resolution. Mathematical morphology is a non-linear image analysis and patternrecognition technique that has proved to be especially well suited to segment images with irregular and complex shapes, but has rarely been applied to the classification/segmentation of multivariate remotesensing data. In this paper we propose a completely automated method, based on mathematical morphology, which allows us to integrate spectral and spatial information in the analysis of hyperspectral images. The accuracy of the proposed algorithm is tested by its application to real hyperspectral data, and the results provided are compared to those found using other existing endmember extraction algorithms.

In recent years, observation of a wide variety in the earth surface can be done by improvement of remotesensing technology. The purpose in this paper is to recognize a drift ice as thick. ice and thin ice, and sea using synthetic aperture rader (SAR) images. The recognition of the drift ice is achieved by using neural networks (NN). The neural network applies two, methods, a BP trained neural network and a Self-organizing map. Training data is image features extracted from SAR images. The number of methods of extracting the features are three, Fourier transform, high-order autocorrelation function (HACF), and image features based on a run length method. We carry out a comparative experiment, and demonstrate their effectiveness by means of computer simulation.

With its combination of good spatial and spectral resolution, visible to near infrared spectral imaging from aircraft or spacecraft is a highly valuable technology for remotesensing of the earth's surface. Typically it is desirable to eliminate atmospheric effects on the imagery, a process known as atmospheric correction. In this paper we review the basic methodology of first principles atmospheric correction and present results from the latest version of the FLAASH (Fast Line-of-Sight Atmospheric Analysis of Spectral Hypercubes) algorithm. We show some comparisons of ground truth spectra with FLAASH-processed AVIRIS data, including results obtained using different processing options, and with results from the ACORN algorithm that derive from an older MODTRAN4 spectral database.

The automatic analysis of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) images is an interesting topic in remotesensingimageprocessing, since it involves the use of pre-processing, detection and classification tools with the aim of near-real time or at least very fast data interpretation. However, actual chains of preprocessing tools for GPR images do not consider usually denoising, essentially because most of the successive data interpretation is based on single radar trace analysis. So, no speckle noise analysis and denoising has been attempted, perhaps assuming that this point is immaterial for the following interpretation or detection tools. Instead, we expect that speckle denoising procedures would help. In this paper we address this problem, providing a detailed and exhaustive comparison of many of the statistical algorithms for speckle reduction provided in literature, i.e. Kuan, Lee, Median, Oddy and wavelet filters. For a more precise comparison, we use the Equivalent Number of Look (ENL), the Variance Ratio (VR). Moreover, we validate the denoising results by applying an interpretation step to the pre-processed data. We show that a wavelet denoising procedure results in a large improvement for both the ENL and VR. Moreover, it also allows the neural detector to individuate more targets and less false positive in the same GPR data set.

In this paper, a parallel/pipelined VLSI architecture designed to maximize concurrency and throughput is described for real-time hyperspectral image classification. To obtain a real-time architecture, we first simplified the constrained linear discriminant analysis (CLDA) algorithm and its computation flow. Next, we folded and modified its structure to reduce data dependency, to increase pipelining, and to minimize the silicon area. The required and yet slow data whitening process was avoided by using a modified target classifier, it is shown that applying the modified target classifier to the original data is equivalent to applying the original target classifier to the whitened data. Additionally, a high performance iterative matrix inversion algorithm simplifies the circuit complexity and improves processing time for repetitive matrix inversions and updates. Finally, to manage the high volume of data, an internal numerical representation is used. Additionally, a multiplexed bus reduces the I/O pins by sharing input data pins with pins to download registers with their initial values.

A reservoir is an integral component of a water resources system. Periodic evaluation of the sediment deposition pattern and assessment of available storage capacity of reservoirs is an important aspect of water resources management. The conventional techniques of quantification of sediment deposition in a reservoir, such as hydrographic surveys and the inflow-outflow methods, are cumbersome, costly and time consuming. Further, prediction of sediment deposition profiles using empirical and numerical methods requires a large amount of input data and the results are still not encouraging. Due to sedimentation, the water-spread area of a reservoir at various elevations keeps on decreasing. remotesensing, through its spatial, spectral and temporal attributes, provides synoptic and repetitive information on the water-spread area of a reservoir. By use of remotesensing data in conjunction with a geographic information system, the temporal change in water-spread area can be analysed to evaluate the sediment deposition pattern in a reservoir. A case study, related to the assessment of sediment deposition in Bargi Reservoir, Madhya Pradesh State, India, is presented. The reservoir was completed in 1988 and no hydrographic survey has yet been carried out. Under these circumstances, the sedimentation assessment using satellite data can guide the darn operators in updating the elevation-area-capacity table of the reservoir. The images for nine dates from the IRS-1C satellite, LISS-III sensor have been analysed using the ERDAS/IMAGINE software. The resulting sedimentation rate in the zone of study is about 229 m(3) km(-2) of catchment area per year.

This paper describes an adaptive and smart interface and shows its successful application for VCR remote "Control using hand gestures. The interface is capable of learning the user's operational habits and can offer self-help, aka wizard mode of operation;it can then monitor the user's gestures and maintain constant vigilance in an attempt to assist her through feedback using video display and/or loud-speaker. The availability of users' profiles is used in an adaptive fashion to enhance human-computer interactions and to make them intelligent, i.e., causal. The smart interface is suitable for handicapped users and it can be used for security purposes too.

Recent advances in remotesensing have led the way for the development of hyperspectral sensors and the applications of the hyperspectral data. Hyperspectral remotesensing is a relatively new technology, which is currently being investigated by researchers and scientists with regard to the detection and identification of minerals, terrestrial vegetation, and man-made materials and backgrounds. The airborne hyperspectral imaging data have operationally been used to a number of land-use, natural environment, geology, agriculture and other studies. In this study, airborne hyperspectral imaging data were tested in vegetation and man-made object identification. Natural grassland and artificial grassland, different types of crops, different types of forest and bush, different types of metal slabs in construction project have been precisely classified and greatly identified. In these works, the Operational Modular Imaging Spectrometer (ONUS) provides the imaging spectrometer data. OMIS has 128 spectral bands, including visible, short wave infrared, middle infrared and thermal infrared spectral region. Results suggest that hyperspectral imaging data, especially with short wave infrared and thermal infrared wavelength, have broad application perspectives in object identification.
