In this sense, it is essential to have reliable and precise evapotranspiration measurements to improve models or products, mainly related to predicting droughts. The main objective of the present study is to evaluate the Support Vector Machine Regression’s (SVR) potential to estimate the actual evapotranspiration (ETa) through a NASA-Power dataset in the Pampean Region of Argentina. The results obtained were compared with ETa values (water balance), based on information from 12 agro-meteorological stations (1983 – 2012). After training and validating the SVR algorithm, we observed statistical mean errors of 0.39 ± 0.07 mm/d, 0.54 ± 0.09 mm/d, and 0.67 ± 0.07 for the MAE, RMSE, and R2, respectively. The results show the feasibility of applying machine learning algorithms for obtaining ETa values in agricultural plains without agro-meteorological data.","PeriodicalId":299649,"journal":{"name":"2021 XIX Workshop on Information Processing and Control (RPIC)","volume":"207 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114018092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The urban surface heat island effect is described as a higher surface temperature in cities compared to a cooler temperature in surrounding areas. Canopy layer urban heat island (HI) are typically detected by in situ sensors at standard (screen-level) meteorological height. Ont he other hand, thermal remote sensors observe the surface urban heat island index (SUHI). The aim of this work is to calculate the spatial distribution of the SUHI index in Cordoba city and in its metropolitan area, and to analyse its relationship with different land covers using satellite information. Cordoba city, located in the central region of Argentina, is the second most populated city in the country. A LANDSAT-8 image of the study area was used to calculate urban heat island index, UHII, and SUHI. Urban and Non-urban region were defined and compared. It was observed that the same type of land use has significant different temperature mean value depending on whether it is located on an urban island or in a rural or open environment.","PeriodicalId":299649,"journal":{"name":"2021 XIX Workshop on Information Processing and Control (RPIC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129854449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This region of the estuary is characterized by high sediment transport, which makes its waters turbid, which makes bathymetric-optical estimates difficult. Images of 24 NIR and visible spectral bands acquired using a hyperspectral camera on board a UAV were used, together with 100 bathymetric data points surveyed with a sonar sensor on board a USV in an area of approximately 800 m2. The best model was Random Forest with a coefficient determination of 0.815 (for the test data), an RSME = 0.160 m, and an absolute mean error less than 1.3%. We performed ablation tests to evaluate the robustness of the models and using SHAP values we determined the bands with the highest incidence in the model. The results allow for dense and accurate reconstructions of the underwater profile in shallow and muddy regions of the Bahia Blanca estuary, showing the feasibility of merging hyperspectral images with sonar data in turbid shallow waters.","PeriodicalId":299649,"journal":{"name":"2021 XIX Workshop on Information Processing and Control (RPIC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130648881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When WLAN devices transmit at the same or close frequency as weather radar the resulting interference can severely limit the usefulness of radar images.This paper proposes an algorithm for WLAN packets detection in weather radar data based on the location of the preamble of these packets, taking advantage of its deterministic structure. The theoretical guidelines that define the detection algorithm and the reference signal are presented. The performance of the detector is evaluated using numerical simulations and is tested with real data obtained from the Argentinian weather radar RMA1, located in Córdoba city. The probability of detection obtained when processing radar data is consistent with the numerical simulations results and with the predictions of the theoretical model.","PeriodicalId":299649,"journal":{"name":"2021 XIX Workshop on Information Processing and Control (RPIC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115526550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are usually multichannel amplifiers which include pre-condition of the EEG signal for further processing. To develop BCI based on BCI2000, there are many data acquisition modules as contributions from users of BCI2000. These contributions support EEG amplifiers that are not easily available for Latin American countries, limiting their accessibility by patients and health institutions, which are BCI’s final users. This article presents the design and evaluation of a new signal source module for BCI2000 to connect a biopotential amplifier from the open-source BioAmp project. This new signal source module embedded in BCI2000 allows the acquisition, visualization of EEG signals and their storing for later processing.
