Teleport Pro touts itself as a "personal spider" or "webrover. "What does it do? It loads up a specified webpage, and searches it for files of a certain type(and downloads them), searches the entire internet for sites matching a certain context and/or file type, or totally clones an entire website for browsing on your hard disk drive. It can also search sites for keyword(s) or follow every link from a specified start point.

OBS

web rover; webrover: The Translation Bureau recommends in its revised 2013 Linguistic Recommendation that “web” not be capitalized when it is part of a compound, whether the compound is written as two words or one, with or without a hyphen.

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar(InSAR) is a promising recent technique for the generation of digital elevation models and/or the measurement of ground surface deformations. In InSAR data processing, the first step is the image co-registration, achieved by using a set of tie points which are the conjugate image points on the master and slave images. Tie points are selected with the aim of finding the conjugate point automatically on the slave image for any given point on the master image, by the process known as image matching. To achieve reliable matching, a set of points within a window is used instead of a single point. The size of the window will affect the reliability of matching. Hitherto there have been no effective methods for the determination of optimum window size for this purpose. In practice, this parameter is determined by experience.

La mise en correspondance d'images vise à aligner deux ou plusieurs images d'une même scène, acquises par un même ou plusieurs instruments différents (optique visible ou infrarouge, radar, lidar). Une fois recalées, ces images peuvent être fusionnées. Ainsi, la combinaison des informations multi-sources, multi-vues, structurelles, statistiques, temporelles, permettra de faciliter l'analyse et contribuera à une meilleure prise de décision pour la reconnaissance des objets ou des matériaux.

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Spacecraft
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

The process of overlaying two or more images of the same scene acquired from different viewpoints, by different sensors and/or at different times so that the pixels of the same coordinates in the images correspond to the same part of the scene.

CONT

Regardless of the image data involved and of the particular application, image registration usually consists of the four major steps :... direction of control points candidates, control point matching, estimation of the mapping model and resampling and transformation.

OBS

image registration: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

¿Cómo es el registro de una imagen? En primer lugar, debemos saber cómo registrar una imagen en otra. En este caso contamos con una imagen principal (Master), es decir, la parte escaneada de un mapa, y una imagen secundaria (Slave). Para empezar, leemos las coordenadas (números de fila y columna) de algunos puntos destacados de la imagen principal y las buscamos en la imagen secundaria. A continuación pedimos al programa que ejecute la transformación del contenido de la imagen completa. Después de este proceso se pueden superponer las dos imágenes.

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

[A] set of points distributed on an arrayed grid with the interval of 100 m that covers the entire corresponding NTDB(National Topographic Data Base) data set. Each grid point describes the planimetric correction(DX, DY) to be applied to the location(X, Y). The corrections do not modify the original edge matching between adjacent files.

  • Télédétection
DEF

Ensemble de points répartis sur une grille régulière dont l'espacement est de 100 mètres, laquelle couvre l'ensemble du jeu de données de la BNDT (Base nationale de données topographiques) correspondant. Chaque point de la grille décrit la correction planimétrique (DX, DY) à apporter à cet endroit (X, Y). Les corrections ne modifient pas l'ajustement horizontal original entre fichiers adjacents.

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

A technique used in image restoration, enhancement or coding [that is] a separable orthogonal transform or an expansion of the matrix in rank-1 matrices.

CONT

This paper presents a simple and effective method for matching two uncalibrated images. Corner points are firstly extracted as interest points in the two images. Each interest point is assigned one dominant orientation. The initial set of point matches is then obtained by singular value decomposition of a correspondence strength matrix. A new expression of this matrix is introduced to handle more complicated imaging conditions. Each element of this matrix is the similarity measure between two interest points. The new similarity measure is invariant to image rotation by taking into account the dominant orientation of the two interest points. The epipolar geometry constraint is finally imposed to reject the false matches. Experimental results on real images show this approach to be effective for general image matching.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Electronic Commerce
CONT

There are three new business-to-business market models : the aggregators, such as Chemdex, help buyers in fragmented markets select products by providing up-to-minute price and product information in a single contact point of service. Online auctioneers, such as Adauction, offer a reliable channel for sellers to dispose of perishable or surplus goods or services at the best possible prices. As lastly, there are exchangers, such as NTE, that create liquidity matching bid/ask offers and act as neutral third parties, enforcing market rules and settlements terms. Over time, these distinct models will tend to merge.
