Experiments have been carried out to evaluate holographic subsurface radar (RASCAN) for non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of subnominal bond conditions between the Space Shuttle Thermal Protection System tiles and the aluminum substrate. Initial results have shown detection of small voids and spots of moisture between Space Shuttle thermal protection tiles and underlying aluminum substrate. The characteristic feature of this device is the ability to obtain one-sided radar soundings/images with high sensitivity (detecting of wire of 20 micron and less in diameter), and high resolution (2 cm lateral resolution) in the frequency band of 3.6-4.0 GHz. JPL's advanced high-speed imageprocessing and patternrecognition algorithms can be used to process the data generated by the holographic radar and automatically detect and measure the defects. Combining JPL's technologies with the briefcase size, portable RASCAN system will produce a simple and fully automated scanner capable of inspecting dielectric heat shielding materials or other spacecraft structures for cracks, voids, inclusions, delamination, debonding, etc.. We believe this technology holds promise to significantly enhance the safety of the Space Shuttle and the future CEV and other space exploration missions.

This paper addresses the weakness of pixel based or cell-based classification algorithms for urban mapping. They cannot provide a handy object level classification results as often preferred in urban planning and assessment applications. A knowledge based approach is proposed which is integrated with the spectral classification methods and imageprocessing tools. Experiments using a high resolution image were conducted. The results show the proposed method can improve the performances obtained by using the conventional maximum likelihood or ECHO algorithms. Key words: Knowledge based, Object attributes, classification.
The fusion of multi-source remotesensing data is to offer improved accuracies in land cover classification. The conventional fusion methods such as HIS and PCA can not enhance information and simultaneously preserve ...

We describe a new algorithm for enhancing texture in very low-contrast regions of an image. The result is a clarified image that retains the overall appearance of the original, but displays additional fine detail. A beneficial effect of the algorithm is the ability to see through atmospheric scattering, such as moderate fog, smoke and dust. It has application to remotesensing and is more effective than alternative approaches.

Two methods of grid based and image based modeling were put forward respectively to represent the landform of watersheds on the Loess Plateau, China. Many kinds of spatial data such as Digital Elevation Model (DEM), remotesensing (RS) images, and photos are utilized to establish the digital 3-D terrains of watersheds on the Loess Plateau, which provides 3-D virtual geographic environments for supporting regional planning, conservation of water and soil, ecological environment construction. With regard to the specific landscape of terraces, a new approach to model 3-D digital terrace is designed and implemented by analyzing Grid DEM and RS image.

Data compression methods have mostly focused on achieving a desired perception quality for multi-media data for a given number of bits. However, there has been interest over the last several decades on compression for communicating data to a remote location where the data is used to compute estimates. This paper traces the perspectives in the research literature for compression-for-estimation. We discuss how these perspectives can all be cast in the following form: the source emits a signal - possibly dependent on some unknown parameter(s), the i(th) sensor receives the signal and compresses it for transmission to a central processing center where it is used to make the estimate(s). The previous perspectives can be grouped as optimizing compression for the purpose of either (i) estimation of the source signal or (ii) the source parameter. Early results focused on restricting the encoder to being a scalar quantizer that is designed according to some optimization criteria. Later results focused on more general compression structures, although, most of those focus on establishing information theoretic results and bounds. Recent results by the authors use operational rate-distortion methods to develop task-driven compression algorithms that allow trade-offs between the multiple estimation tasks for a given rate.

In this paper, we propose a methodology for the optimal design of bi-orthogonal wavelet basis for maximum possible texture discrimination. The objective of this optimization process is to obtain maximum separation between local features of the texture image at different resolution scales. There are several applications which may not require reconstruction of signal from its transformed coefficients such as texture analysis, remotesensing, medical diagnostics etc. Therefore, for such applications, features are extracted at different frequency resolution scales and condition for perfect reconstruction can be relaxed. In this research work, we propose a methodology for the optimal design of bi-orthogonal wavelet bases. Our objective function is based on maximization of distinguishibility function involving the computation of finer details subject to some wavelet constraints. Classification results of optimized wavelet were compared with the existing maximally flat biorthogonal wavelet families which shows that the results obtained are superior in terms of texture discrimination.

The symbology of the QR Code and the traditional techniques for recognizing the finder pattern of the QR Code were introduced and the disadvantages of these techniques were analyzed. Based on the symmetry of the finder pattern of the QR Code, an algorithm for locating the center of the finder pattern was proposed. By this algorithm, the center of the finder pattern of the QR Code can be located accurately even though one module of the QR Code image occupies only 2.8 pixels or the image is skewed seriously or the image is illuminated not uniformly.

This paper focuses on the problem of semiautomatic extraction of building information from high-resolution satellite images covering urban areas. This information includes buildings height, 2-D structure, and variation detection. An increasing number of applications require accurate and up-to-date cartographic and 3-D data. We introduce a set of accurate and automatic algorithms based on high-resolution remotesensingimagery such as Quickbird. Our method exploits the relationship between buildings height and their shadow in satellite images. Firstly we use our multiple-restriction method to extract the shadow information. Then we can adopt their relationship to compute building height information. In the process of building 2-D information extraction we introduce a new method about morphology used to do edge detection. After that we utilize the methods including imageprocessing, image analyzing, and patternrecognition to detect building 2-D structure. Based on the statistical skewness of image we introduce the conception of variation coefficient. Using this algorithm we can make sure the geographic position of variation detection easily and quickly. Our method involves thresholds, most of them tuned with respect to practical situation and the physical characteristics of the image. Results are shown and discussed on different images.
