Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleWeighting Spatial Information in GIS for Copper Mining ExplorationFarhad Hosseinali, Ali Asghar AlesheikhExploration of new mines is vitally important for human life. Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) can be effectively used in the gathering, weighting, analyzing and presenting spatial and attribute information to facilitate the mine exploration process. The success of mine exploration largely depends on: the identification of governing factors, the determination of their impacts and the selection of suitable models to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCreating a Geographical Information Systems-based Spatial Profile for Exploring Health Services Supply and DemandAbdulkader A. MuradProblem statement: GIS has several techniques and functions that can be used for health services planning. Each one of these functions can be applied for different health related issues. Approach: The first part of this study reviews the relevant GIS functions that are used by health care planning researches and identifies the advantages of using these functions. The second part … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 6 · 13 Jun 2011 · 6,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Spatial Distribution of Apis Dorsata Host Plants Using an Integrated Geographical Information System-Remote Sensing ApproachIzzat F. Ibrahim, Siva K. Balasundram, Nur-Ashikin P. Abdullah et al.Apis dorsata is one of the important honeybee species in tropical and subtropical regions that forages on various plants including herbs, grasses, forest trees and plantation trees. However, information on the spatial distribution of various pollen sources of Apis dorsata is still lacking. This study aimed at mapping the spatial distribution of the major honeybee plants that serve as pollen … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,585 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFragment-based Visual Tracking with Multiple RepresentationsJunqiu Wang, Yasushi YagiWe present a fragment-based tracking algorithm that considers appearance information characterized by a non-parametric distribution and spatial information described by a parametric representation. We segment an input object into several fragments based on the appearance similarity and spatial distribution. Spatial distribution and appearance are important for distinguishing different fragments. We employee such information for separating an object from its background: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 5 Jan 2016 · 7,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA MODIFIED SPATIAL FUZZY C-MEANS CLUSTERING ALGORITHM FOR DETECTING GLAUCOMAIN RETINAL FUNDUS IMAGESS. J. Grace Shoba, A. Brintha ThereseGlaucoma is a disease which affects the eye and causes blindness. It is an ophthalmologist disease characterized by an increase in Intraocular Pressure (IOP). The glaucoma usually affects the optic disc on the retina which increases the cup size. There are various parameters to identify and diagnose glaucoma. The clustering technique is introduced to detect the glaucoma from the optic … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 5 Mar 2014 · 7,027 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsClassification Model for Hotspot Occurrences Using Spatial Decision Tree AlgorithmImas Sukaesih Sitanggang, Razali Yaakob, Norwati Mustapha, A. N. AinuddinDeveloping a predictive model for forest fires occurrence is an important activity in a fire prevention program. The model describes characteristics of areas where fires occur based on past fires data. It is essential as an early warning system for preventing forest fires, thus major damages because of fires can be avoided. This study describes the application of data mining … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2013 · 7,224 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffective Processing of Constraints based Spatial Join using R-TreesR. Parvathi, S. PalaniammalProblem statement: This study focuses on the spatial join effects with the constraints-based spatial data without any extra cost and Finding the minimum execution time of the spatial query and spatial selection method. Approach: Spatial joins are used to combine the spatial objects. The efficient processing depends upon the spatial queries. The execution time and I/O time of spatial queries … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 29 Oct 2011 · 6,256 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGeographical Information System Techniques for Evaluation of Groundwater QualityShahram Ashraf, Hossein Afshari, Abdol Ghaffar EbadiProblem Statement: The present paper tries to assess groundwater suitability for irrigation purpose in Damghan plain (5400 ha). Approach: Twenty four water samples were collected from the active wells.
