Identification of windbreaks in Kansas using object-based image analysis, GIS techniques and field survey
No full textWindbreaks are valuable resources in conserving soils and providing crop protection in Great Plains states in the US. Currently, Kansas has no up-to date inventory of windbreaks. The goal of this project was to assist foresters with future windbreak renovation planning and reporting, by outlining a series of semi-automated digital image processing methods that rapidly identify windbreak locations. There were two specific objectives of this research. First, to develop semi-automated methods to identify the location of windbreaks in Kansas, this can be applied to other regions in Kansas and the Great Plains. We used a remote sensing technique known as object-based image analysis (OBIA) to classify windbreaks visible in the color aerial imagery of National Agriculture Imagery Program. We also combined GIS techniques and field survey to complement OBIA in generating windbreak inventory. The techniques successfully located more than 4500, windbreaks covering an approximate area of 2500, hectares in 14 Kansas counties. The second purpose of this research is to determine how well the results of the automated classification schemes match with other available windbreak data and the selected sample collected in the field. The overall accuracy of OBIA method was 58.97 %. OBIA combined with ‘heads up’ digitizing and field survey method yielded better result in identifying and locating windbreaks in the studied counties with overall accuracy of 96 %
Effects of defocus and pupil size on human contrast sensitivity
No full textDefocus lowers the contrast sensitivity function (CSF), producing a complex function with local dips and peaks. Previously, we were able to predict the shape of the CSF with large pupils from measured transverse aberrations with hypermetropic defocus but not with myopic defocus (Atchison et al., 1998c, J. Opt. Soc. Am. A. 15, 2536). As there is no reason that myopic defocus should be more difficult to predict than hypermetropic defocus, we modified the procedure to try to improve CSF predictions with myopic defocus. Also, we extended the study to consider a range of pupil sizes. CSFs were measured for three subjects at three defocus levels (in-focus, -2D and +2D) and three pupil sizes (2 mm, 4 mm and 6 mm). Using a diffraction optics model, transverse aberration measures and in-focus CSF measures, we predicted the defocused CSFs. The predicted defocused CSFs were lower than the in-focus CSF as expected, and had complex shapes that varied with defocus and pupil size and between subjects. While a few predictions were poor, generally, the overall magnitude and shape of the defocused CSFs were well predicted and similarly so for myopic and hypermetropic defocus. Some further improvements in technique are indicated
