    高光譜影像具有豐富且細緻的地物光譜資訊,有助於地物的判釋,並且提升影像分類之精度。然而受限於高光譜影像之高維度資料統計特性,在訓練樣本數不足的情況下,傳統以統計為基礎的影像分類方法並無法直接適用,這樣的問題一般稱為「維度的詛咒」。若在高光譜影像分類前,先透過適當的特徵萃取方法縮減高光譜影像的資料維度,將可有效解決「維度的詛咒」之問題。本研究應用Hilbert-Huang transform(HHT)方法於高光譜影像之光譜曲線分析與特徵萃取,以獲得有利於高光譜影像分類之光譜特徵。HHT是近年來新興發展的資料分析方法,其結合Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD)與Hilbert Spectral Analysis (HSA)兩個演算法,可獲得時序性資料之瞬時頻率,常應用於具有非線性與非定常性特性之資料分析。本研究首先利用HHT之分解演算法EMD分析光譜曲線之吸收帶特徵,並且計算吸收帶之相關參數資訊,透過實際光譜曲線之實驗,顯示利用此方法確實可以有效的發現吸收帶之位置與計算相關參數資訊,未來將可用於光譜比對或地物判識;本研究並以吸收帶分析之結果為基礎,提出兩種以HHT為基礎之特徵萃取方法,透過光譜曲線之頻譜分析,由HHT之分量或是頻譜中根據特定的判斷準則萃取出有利於影像分類之光譜特徵,以解決有限訓練樣本和「維度的詛咒」之相關問題。研究中以兩組實際的高光譜像測試所提出的HHT方法應用於高光譜影像特徵萃取之有效性,實驗結果顯示利用HHT萃取出之光譜特徵確實可以降低高光譜影像之維度,並且保持影像分類之精度。Hyperspectral images, which contain rich and fine spectral information, can be used to identify surface objects and improve land use/cover classification accuracy. However, traditional statistics-based classifiers cannot be directly used on such images with limited training samples. This problem is referred as “curse of dimensionality”. The commonly used method to solve this problem is dimensionality reduction, and this can be done by feature extraction for hyperspectral images. In this study, the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) will be applied to hyperspectral image analysis. HHT, consisting of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert spectral analysis (HSA), is a relatively new adaptive time-frequency analysis tool and has been used extensively in nonlinear and nonstationary data analysis. In this study, the EMD is implemented on spectral curve for absorption band analysis firstly. The experiment results show that absorption features can be detected on IMF components effectively. The other objective of this study is to apply HHT on the hyperspectral data for physically spectral analysis. The spectral features are then extracted based on the results of physically spectral analysis, so that we can get a small number of salient features, reduce the dimensionality of hyperspectral images and keep the accuracy of classification results. Finally, two AVIRIS data sets are used to test the performance of the proposed HHT-based methods. According to the experiment results, the HHT-based methods are effective for dimensionality reduction and classification

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
