Then a computer-aided evaluating method is put forward. In this process two groups are needed. The control group is made up of people who wear maillot while the experimental group consists of those who wear target clothes to be evaluated. People in these two groups are taken photos respectively from front, back and lateral sides. The photos are input computer and receive a series of image processing using Open CV which provides the open source library function including image preprocessing, edge detection and image segmentation, etc. Finally, taking the clothing ease into account, the processed data is used for region matching and evaluating the grade of clothing fit.展开更多

文摘海洋动物是南极气候变化的＂生物指示剂＂,其排泄物中丰富的碳（C）和氮（N）等营养物质为土壤中温室气体的产生与排放提供了有利条件,企鹅作为一种重要的海洋动物,因此其聚居区成为甲烷（CH4）和氧化亚氮（N2O）等温室气体排放的潜在＂热点＂区域.然而,受企鹅数量遥感资料的限制,区域尺度上企鹅源温室气体排放总量尚缺乏精确估算.以南极维多利亚地难言岛企鹅聚集区为研究对象,基于0.1 m分辨率航拍照片发展了面向像元的RGB颜色模型法（pixel-oriented RGB color model）识别企鹅数量,通过企鹅粪便CH4和N2O排放通量、企鹅排便量等数据建立了企鹅源温室气体估算模型.结果显示,航拍照片中企鹅像元在RGB彩色空间模型中的R值（17~104）与其他背景像元（〉110）存在显著差异,该差异可以作为将企鹅与背景像元有效分离的理论依据;南极维多利亚地难言岛企鹅总数为19150只,企鹅源CH4和N2O排放总量分别约为275和2.99 kg.
