Proposed Algorithm for Shadow Identification and Classification in VHR Satellite Imagery
Abstract: The Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery offers great possibilities for urban environments. Unfortunately, shadows cast by buildings in high-density urban environments obscure much of the information in the image, leading to potentially corrupted classification results or blunders in interpretation. The objective of this paper is to propose an algorithm for better identification and classification of shadows in VHR images. Two prime stages were carried out i.e. shadow identification and …

Cyclic Nanoindentation and Nano-scratch Behaviour of CaCO3/PMMA Nanocomposite
Abstract: The calcium carbonate surface modified with γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane was carried out to prepare poly (methyl methacrylate) based composite. The grafting of PMMA increased as the weight ratio between MMA and n-CaCO3 increased, while the grafting efficiency of PMMA decreased. Transmission electron micrograph showed that MPTMS modified n-CaCO3 covered with PMMA was formed by emulsion polymerisation. The scratch resistance of n-CaCO3/PMMA nanocomposites are highly influenced by reinforcement’s type. The effects of n-CaCO3 …
