Research on sea surface temperature retrieval by the one-dimensional synthetic aperture microwave radiometer, 1D-SAMR

Due to the low spatial resolution of sea surface temperature(T_S)retrieval by real aperture microwave radiometers,in this study,an iterative retrieval method that minimizes the differences between brightness temperature(T_B)measured and modeled was used to retrieve sea surface temperature with a one-dimensional synthetic aperture microwave radiometer,temporarily named 1 D-SAMR.Regarding the configuration of the radiometer,an angular resolution of 0.43°was reached by theoretical calculation.Experiments on sea surface temperature retrieval were carried out with ideal parameters;the results show that the main factors affecting the retrieval accuracy of sea surface temperature are the accuracy of radiometer calibration and the precision of auxiliary geophysical parameters.In the case of no auxiliary parameter errors,the greatest error in retrieved sea surface temperature is obtained at low T_S scene(i.e.,0.7106 K for the incidence angle of 35°under the radiometer calibration accuracy of0.5 K).While errors on auxiliary parameters are assumed to follow a Gaussian distribution,the greatest error on retrieved sea surface temperature was 1.3305 K at an incidence angle of 65°in poorly known sea surface wind speed(W)(the error on W of 1.0 m/s)over high W scene,for the radiometer calibration accuracy of 0.5 K.

Shape, Color and Texture Based CBIR System Using Fuzzy LogicClassifier

The perfect image retrieval and retrieval time are the two major challenges inCBIR systems. To improve the retrieval accuracy, the whole database is searched basedon many image characteristics such as color, shape, texture and edge information whichleads to more time consumption. This paper presents a new fuzzy based CBIR method,which utilizes colour, shape and texture attributes of the image. Fuzzy rule based systemis developed by combining color, shape, and texture feature for enhanced image recovery.In this approach, DWT is used to pull out the texture characteristics and the region basedmoment invariant is utilized to pull out the shape features of an image. Color similarityand texture attributes are extorted using customized Color Difference Histogram (CDH).The performance evaluation based on precision and BEP measures reveals the superiorityof the proposed method over renowned obtainable approaches.
