Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah memprediksi kandungan total padatan terlarut (TPT), total asam, rasio gula asam, dan padatan tidak terlarut (serat kasar) mangga Gedong Gincu secara non destruktif menggunakan spektroskopi inframerah dekat (NIR). Bahan yang digunakan berupa mangga Gedong Gincu sebanyak 182 buah. Pengukuran spektra reflektan NIR dilakukan pada panjang gelombang 1000 – 2500 nm menggunakan NIRFlex N-500 fiber optik solid dilanjutkan pengukuran data referensi laboratorium. Lima pra-proses data spektra yaitu smoothing 3 points (sa3), normalisasi (n01), first derivative Savitzzky-golay (dg1), kombinasi (n01,dg1), dan Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC) dilakukan untuk meningkatkan akurasi model kalibrasi.

LAPR: An experimental aircraft pushbroom scanner

A three band Linear Array Pushbroom Radiometer (LAPR) was built and flown on an experimental basis by NASA at the Goddard Space Flight Center. The functional characteristics of the instrument and the methods used to preprocess the data, including radiometric correction, are described. The radiometric sensitivity of the instrument was tested and compared to that of the Thematic Mapper and the Multispectral Scanner. The radiometric correction procedure was evaluated quantitatively, using laboratory testing, and qualitatively, via visual examination of the LAPR test flight imagery. Although effective radiometric correction could not yet be demonstrated via laboratory testing, radiometric distortion did not preclude the visual interpretation or parallel piped classification of the test imagery

Quarterly literature review of the remote sensing of natural resources

The Technology Application Center reviewed abstracted literature sources, and selected document data and data gathering techniques which were performed or obtained remotely from space, aircraft or groundbased stations. All of the documentation was related to remote sensing sensors or the remote sensing of the natural resources. Sensors were primarily those operating within the 10 to the minus 8 power to 1 meter wavelength band. Included are NASA Tech Briefs, ARAC Industrial Applications Reports, U.S. Navy Technical Reports, U.S. Patent reports, and other technical articles and reports

Evaluation of spectral channels and wavelength regions for separability of agricultural cover types

The author has identified the following significant results. Multispectral scanner data in twelve spectral channels in the wavelength range of 0.4 to 11.7 microns acquired in the middle of July for three flightlines were analyzed by applying automatic pattern recognition techniques. The same analysis was performed for the data acquired in mid August, over the same three flightlines, to investigate the effect of time on the results. The effect of deletion of each spectral channel, as well as each wavelength region on P sub c, is given. Values of P sub c for all possible combinations of wavelength regions in the subsets of one to twelve spectral channels are also given. The overall values of P sub c were found to be greater for the data of mid August than the data from mid July

Locally Weighted Ensemble Clustering

Due to its ability to combine multiple base clusterings into a probably better and more robust clustering, the ensemble clustering technique has been attracting increasing attention in recent years. Despite the significant success, one limitation to most of the existing ensemble clustering methods is that they generally treat all base clusterings equally regardless of their reliability, which makes them vulnerable to low-quality base clusterings. Although some efforts have been made to (globally) evaluate and weight the base clusterings, yet these methods tend to view each base clustering as an individual and neglect the local diversity of clusters inside the same base clustering. It remains an open problem how to evaluate the reliability of clusters and exploit the local diversity in the ensemble to enhance the consensus performance, especially in the case when there is no access to data features or specific assumptions on data distribution. To address this, in this paper, we propose a novel ensemble clustering approach based on ensemble-driven cluster uncertainty estimation and local weighting strategy. In particular, the uncertainty of each cluster is estimated by considering the cluster labels in the entire ensemble via an entropic criterion. A novel ensemble-driven cluster validity measure is introduced, and a locally weighted co-association matrix is presented to serve as a summary for the ensemble of diverse clusters. With the local diversity in ensembles exploited, two novel consensus functions are further proposed. Extensive experiments on a variety of real-world datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach over the state-of-the-art.Comment: The MATLAB source code and experimental data of this work are available at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/31668192

Markov Chain Modeling of Daily Rainfall in Lay Gaint Woreda, South Gonder Zone, Ethiopia

Information on seasonal Kiremet and seasonal Belg rainfall amount is important in the rain fed agriculture of Ethiopia since more than 85% of the population is dependent on agriculture particularly on rain fed farming practices. The distribution pattern of rainfall rather than the total amount of rainfall within the entire period of time is more important for studying the pattern of rainfall occurrence. A two-state Markov chain was used to describe the characteristics of rainfall occurrences in this woreda. The states, as considered were; dry (d) and rainy (r). The overall chance of rain and the fitted curve tells us that the chance of getting rain in the main rainy season is about twice as compared to the small rainy season. The first order Markov chain model indicates that the probability of getting rain in the small rainy season is significantly dependent on whether the earlier date was dry or wet. While the second order Marko chain indicates that the main rainy season the dependence of the probability of rain on the previous two dates\u27 conditions is less as compared with the small rainy season. Rainfall amounts are very variable and are usually modeled by a gamma distribution. Therefore, the pattern of rainfall is somewhat unimodial having only one extreme value in August. Onset, cessation and length of growing season of rainfall for the main rainy season show medium variation compared to the small rainy season

Consequences of tractor accidents in the agriculture in Republic of Macedonia

In this paper are the results from the research of the consequences of tractor accidents in the agriculture in Republic of Macedonia. During the research from 1999 till 2003, 610 people have been injured in Republic of Macedonia in agricultural production, and the tractors have been the main reason. 544 people have been injured in tractor traffic accidents and 66 have been injured during tractor operating in agricultural condition. From the total number, 101 people have died during this period of time. 57 people have died in tractor traffic accidents and the rest of 44 people during tractor operating in agricultural condition. During the research, 172 people have been registered with hard injuries. 151 people have been injured in tractor traffic accidents and 21 during tractor operating in agricultural condition. Light injuries are also part of injuries that happen during tractor operating. During this research another 337 people have been registered with light injuries. The main causes of tractor accidents in the agriculture in Republic of Macedonia are: inattention of the tractor operator, improper speed according to the signs and road conditions, alcohol and malfunctions of the vehicle
