Detecting buildings from high-resolution satellite imagery is beneficial in mapping, environmental preparation, disaster management, military planning, urban planning and research purposes. Differentiating buildings from the images is possible however, it may be a time-consuming or complicated process. Therefore, the high-resolution imagery from satellites needs to be automated to detect the buildings. Additionally, buildings exhibit several different characteristics, and their appearance in these images is unplanned. Moreover, buildings in the metropolitan environment are typically crowded and complicated. Therefore, it is challenging to identify the building and hard to locate them. To resolve this situation, a novel probabilistic method has been suggested using local features and probabilistic approaches. A local feature extraction technique was implemented, which was used to calculate the probability density function. The locations in the image were represented as joint probability distributions and were used to estimate their probability distribution function (pdf). The density of building locations in the image was extracted. Kernel density distribution was also used to find the density flow for different metropolitan cities such as Sydney (Australia), Tokyo (Japan), and Mumbai (India), which is useful for distribution intensity and pattern of facility point f interest (POI). The purpose system can detect buildings/rooftops and to test our system, we choose some crops with panchromatic high-resolution satellite images from Australia and our results looks promising with high efficiency and minimal computational time for feature extraction. We were able to detect buildings with shadows and building without shadows in 0.4468 (seconds) and 0.5126 (seconds) respectively.
A pulsed neutron imaging technique is used to reconstruct the residual strain within a polycrystalline material from Bragg edge strain images. This technique offers the possibility of a nondestructive analysis of strain fields with a high spatial resolution. A finite element approach is used to reconstruct the strain using a least square method constrained by the conditions of equilibrium. The procedure is developed and verified by validating for a cantilevered beam problem. It is subsequently demonstrated by reconstructing the strain from experimental data for a ring-and-plug sample, measured at the spallation neutron source RADEN at J-PARC in Japan. The reconstruction is validated by comparison with conventional constant wavelength strain measurements on the KOWARI diffractometer at ANSTO in Australia. It is also shown that the addition of a simple Tikhonov regularization can improve the reconstruction. *
A wavelength resolved measurement technique used in neutron imaging applications is known as energy-resolved neutron transmission imaging. This technique of reconstructing residual strain maps provides high spatial resolution measurements of strain distribution in polycrystalline materials from sets of Bragg edge measurement images. Strain field reconstructions obtained from both triangular and quadrilateral finite element meshes are compared. The reconstruction is approached via a least square method and relies on the inversion of the longitudinal ray transform, which has uniqueness issues. References B. Abbey, S. Y. Zhang, W. J. J.

The main objective of the current work is to determine meshless methods using the radial basis function (rbf) approach to estimate the elastic strain field from energy-resolved neutron imaging. To this end, we first discretize the longitudinal ray transformation with rbf methods to give us an unconstrained optimization problem. This discretization is then transformed into a constrained optimization problem by adding equilibrium conditions to ensure uniqueness. The efficiency and accuracy of this approach are investigated for the situation of 2d plane stress. In addition, comparisons are made between the results obtained with rbf collocation, finite-element (fem) and analytical solution methods for test problems. The method is then applied to experimentally measured continuous and discontinuous strain fields using steel samples for an offset ring-and-plug and crushed ring, respectively.
