This gap has been filled through quantifying and evaluating spatial heterogeneity of urban and natural landscapes from QuickBird, Satellite pour l'observation de la Terre (SPOT), Ad- vanced Spacebome Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) and Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images with variogram analysis. Instead of a logarithmic relationship with pixel size observed in the corresponding aggregated images, the spatial variability decayed and the spatial structures decomposed more slowly and complexly with spatial resolution for real multisensor im- ages. As the spatial resolution increased, the proportion of spatial variability of the smaller spatial structure decreased quickly and only a larger spatial structure was observed at very coarse scales. Compared with visible band, greater spatial variability was observed in near infrared band for both densely and less densely vegetated landscapes. The influence of image size on spatial heterogeneity was highly dependent on whether the empirical sernivariogram reached its sill within the original image size. When the empirical semivariogram did not reach its sill at the original observation scale, spatial variability and mean characteristic length scale would increase with image size; otherwise they might decrease. This study could provide new insights into the knowledge of spatial heterogeneity in real multisen- sor images with consideration of their nominal spatial resolution, image size and spectral bands.展开更多

First, the embedding dimension and the delay time were obtained through this method, then the phase space was reconstructed to resume the chaotie attractor and determine the LLE. The result shows that the trajectory of attractor is denser than Chen's attractor, and the LLE is positive, which means that not only the signal has the character of chaos, but also the chaotic degree of masseter EMG is relatively high. According to the value of the LLE, the chaotic degree of men's masseter EMG is higher than that of women's; when the dentition is normal, the chaotic degree of two sides is almost the same. Then, a conclusion can be deduced that if the LLE of both sides are in great difference, the unilateral mastication is likely to exist, which means that the nonlinear characteristics of masseter EMG can be applied to predict the unilateral mastication.展开更多
