Edges characterize boundaries and are therefore a problem of fundamental importance in image processing. Edge detecting an image significantly reduces the amount of data and filters out useless information, while preserving the important structural properties in an image. Edge detection is useful for segmentation, registration, and identification of objects in remote sensing images. Two dimensional lattice filters have been shown to be useful in many applications such as multidimensional spectral estimation, image data compression, high-resolution radar imaging, and removal of correlated clutter to enhance the detection ability of small objects in images. In this work, lattice filters are used for detecting the edges in remote sensing images. Lattice filter can be used to predict the correlated parts in an image and the resulting error (the output of the filter) will be edges. Edge detection results have been compared with other conventional edge detection methods as well as wavelet based methods. Results show that the proposed method is a good candidate for edge detection problem in remotely sensed images

The purpose of image segmentation is to partition an image into homogeneous regions. Features are of major importance in image segmentation. In this work, a new method is proposed in which features used for segmentation are reflection coefficients of the two-dimensional (2D) orthogonal lattice filters. Principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to the features for reducing the complexity of the work. A minimum distance classifier is used in the classification algorithms. The proposed method is compared with the discrete wavelet transform which is a common segmentation algorithm. In our work, selected image is a monospectral optical image
DNA microarrays are powerful tools for exploring gene expression and predicting disease state. However, since the number of variables (genes) typically exceeds the number of samples (tissue specimens), many potentiall...

The health systems in many developing countries lag seriously behind the developed world in the use of health management information systems (HMIS). The World Bank, like other international donor organizations, is increasingly called upon to provide technical and financial assistance in this area, but success stories remain rare. Because HMIS are critical to developing and improving health systems delivery and finance, the bank must find ways to increase effectiveness of the interventions it supports. This paper attempts to contribute to this process by proposing a new conceptual framework for the assessment of HMIS interventions, and then demonstrating the framework by applying it to an existing project to support national health insurance in Latvia. The paper documents the key characteristics of the HMIS project, discusses successes and failures to date, and presents lessons learned that may be applicable to other HMIS projects in developing countries. The case study focuses on a functional classification of the HMIS implementation, and critical success factors that have emerged with regard to systems implementation in developed countries.
