Analysis of Thematic Classified Aerial Images Trough Multispectral and LIDAR Data

The application of thematic maps obtained through the classification of remote images needs the obtained products with an optimal accuracy. The registered images from the airplanes display a very satisfactory spatial resolution, but the classical methods of thematic classification not always give better results than when the registered data from satellite are used. In order to improve these results of classification, in this work, the LIDAR sensor data from first return (Light Detection And Ranging) registered simultaneously with the spectral sensor data from airborne are jointly used. The final results of the thematic classification of the scene object of study have been obtained, quantified and discussed with and without LIDAR data, after applying different methods: Maximum Likehood Classification, Support Vector Machine with four different functions kernel and Isodata clustering algorithm (ML, SVM-L, SVM-P, SVM-RBF, SVM-S, Isodata). The best results are obtained for SVM with Sigmoide kernel. These allow the correlation with others different physical parameters with great interest like Manning hydraulic coefficient, for their incorporation in a GIS and their application in hydraulic modeling.

Noise Figure Measurement of Differential Amplifiers Using non-Ideal Baluns

This paper analyzes the noise and gain measurement of microwave differential amplifiers using two passive baluns. A general model of the baluns is considered, including potential losses and phase/amplitude unbalances. This analysis allows de-embedding the actual gain and noise performance of the isolated amplifier by using single-ended measurements of the cascaded system and baluns. Finally, measured results from two amplifier prototypes are used to validate the theoretical principles.

Reconstrucción ideal de un artesonado de la iglesia de Sta. Mª de la Cuesta de Durón a partir de los elementos encontrados durante su restauración

El lamentable estado del templo hizo que Luis de Villanueva y Susana Mora redactaran un Proyecto de Restauración, cuya primera fase era la Restauración de cubiertas. Éstas se desmontaron cuidadosamente, apareciendo en la nave sur una viga cambiada de posición de labra supuestamente mudéjar, lo que hizo exagerar las precauciones. Pudimos así observar otra ménsula de madera labrada que servía de apoyo a elementos pétreos de la cabecera. En la nave lateral norte se encontraron durmientes, varios tirantes, y rebajes equidistantes, que podrían corresponder a estribos. En la nave central, formando parte de las quijeras, estaban integrados elementos con sencillas decoraciones azuladas, que podrían corresponder a restos de los citados estribos de la nave lateral. Las hipótesis se comprobaron, y con el apoyo de textos especializados, se formuló una propuesta de techumbre que podría acercarnos a las construcciones de esta zona del Señorío de Mendoza entre los siglos XV y XVI.
