Classificação automática de cobertura vegetal em imagens aéreas e orbitais para uso em planejamento energético

Neste trabalho é apresentado um modelo de redes neurais que será utilizado como ferramenta para uso no planejamento energético e na construção de cenários energéticos através da identificação e agrupamento de pixels representativos de classes de água, vegetação e antropização no entorno do reservatório de Tucuruí, Estado do Pará (bacia do rio Tocantins). Para o estudo, foram utilizadas fotografias aéreas ortorretificadas e um recorte da imagem do satélite Landsat, ambos obtidos em agosto de 2001 e classificados utilizando a métrica da mínima distância no software Matlab 7.3.0 (Matrix Laboratory - software de matemática aplicada) e no Arcview 3.2a (programa de Sistemas de Informações Geográficas). Para classificação da área no Matlab, foram utilizadas redes neurais competitivas, mais especificamente as redes de Kohonen que são caracterizadas por realizar um mapeamento de um espaço de dimensão n (número de entradas) para um espaço de dimensão m (número de saídas). Os resultados obtidos no classificador utilizando rede neural e no classificador do Arcview foram semelhantes, mas houve uma divergência no que diz respeito à imagem de alta e média resolução que pode ser justificada pelo fato de que a imagem de alta resolução espacial ocasiona muita variação espectral em algumas feições, gerando dificuldades nas classificações. Esse classificador automático é uma ferramenta importante para identificar oportunidades e potenciais a serem desenvolvidos na construção de cenários energéticos programados. Os resultados deste trabalho confirmam que a imagem de média resolução ainda é a mais indicada para resolver a maioria dos problemas que envolvem identificação de cobertura do solo para utilização em planejamento energético.

Imagens aéreas multiespectrais na identificação de zonas de manejo em áreas de algodão para aplicação localizada de insumos

Crop yield is influenced by several factors with variability in time and space that are associated with the variations in the plant vigor. This variability allows the identification of management zones and site-specific applications to manage different regions of the field. The purpose of this study was the use of multispectral image for management zones identification and implications of site-specific application in commercial cotton areas. Multispectral airborne images from three years were used to classify a field into three vegetation classes via the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The NDVI classes were used to verify the potential differences between plant physical measurements and identify management zones. The cotton plant measurements sampled in 8 repetitions of 10 plants at each NDVI class were Stand Count, Plant Height, Total Nodes and Total Bolls. Statistical analysis was performed with treatments arranged in split plot design with Tukey’s Test at 5% of probability. The images were classified into five NDVI classes to evaluate the relationship between cotton plant measurement results and sampling location across the field. The results have demonstrated the possibility of using multispectral image for management zones identification in cotton areas. The image classification into three NDVI classes showed three different zones in the field with similar characteristics for the studied years. Statistical differences were shown for plant height, total nodes and total bolls between low and high NDVI classes for all years. High NDVI classes contained plants with greater height, total nodes and total bolls compared to low NDVI classes. There was no difference in Stand Count between low and high NDVI classes for the three studied years. The final plant stand was the same between all NDVI classes for 2001 and 2003 as it was expected due to the conventional seeding application with the same rate of seeds for the entire field.

Sistema inteligente para o processamento de imagens digitais intrabucais oclusais

Several are the areas in which digital images are used in solving day-to-day problems. In medicine the use of computer systems have improved the diagnosis and medical interpretations. In dentistry it’s not different, increasingly procedures assisted by computers have support dentists in their tasks. Set in this context, an area of dentistry known as public oral health is responsible for diagnosis and oral health treatment of a population. To this end, oral visual inspections are held in order to obtain oral health status information of a given population. From this collection of information, also known as epidemiological survey, the dentist can plan and evaluate taken actions for the different problems identified. This procedure has limiting factors, such as a limited number of qualified professionals to perform these tasks, different diagnoses interpretations among other factors. Given this context came the ideia of using intelligent systems techniques in supporting carrying out these tasks. Thus, it was proposed in this paper the development of an intelligent system able to segment, count and classify teeth from occlusal intraoral digital photographic images. The proposed system makes combined use of machine learning techniques and digital image processing. We first carried out a color-based segmentation on regions of interest, teeth and non teeth, in the images through the use of Support Vector Machine. After identifying these regions were used techniques based on morphological operators such as erosion and transformed watershed for counting and detecting the boundaries of the teeth, respectively. With the border detection of teeth was possible to calculate the Fourier descriptors for their shape and the position descriptors. Then the teeth were classified according to their types through the use of the SVM from the method one-against-all used in multiclass problem. The multiclass classification problem has been approached in two different ways. In the first approach we have considered three class types: molar, premolar and non teeth, while the second approach were considered five class types: molar, premolar, canine, incisor and non teeth. The system presented a satisfactory performance in the segmenting, counting and classification of teeth present in the images.
