In this work, the first step is to construct ISAR images via a Non uniformly Sampled Bivariate Empirical Mode Decomposition Time-Frequency Distribution (NSBEMD-TFD) method. Indeed, this Time-Frequency representation is well suited for non-stationary signals analysis and provides high resolution with good accuracy. The obtained ISAR images is used to provide the evolution of two-dimensional spatial distribution of a moving target and, therefore, its are suitable to be used for radar target recognition tasks. In second step, a feature vectors are extracted from each ISAR images in order to describe the discriminative informations about a target. In the features extraction step, we computed several rings of polar space applied on ISAR image. Then, these rings is projected on 1-D vector. To ensure translation invariance of the obtained projected 1-D vector, a Fourier Descriptors are computed. In third step of this work, the recognition task is achieved using k-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN), Fuzzy k-NN, Neural network and Bayesian classifiers. To validate our approach, simulation results are presented on a set of several targets constituted by ideal point scatterers models.","PeriodicalId":332253,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Signal and Image Processing (ATSIP)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130162706","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}

In this study, the clean and polluted seas are modeled using a semi-empirical spectrum. The simulations of scattering coefficients are realized by using the Forward-Backward Method (FBM), the Composite Two Scale-Model (CTSM) and the Small Slope Approximation (SSA) in monostatic and bistatic configurations. The effect of the pollutant on the electromagnetic scattering of a maritime surface has been studied as function of oil percentage, angles, frequency values and polarization state.","PeriodicalId":332253,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Signal and Image Processing (ATSIP)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130706996","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}

A spatio-temporal geographical entity is defined as a set composed by spatial, temporal and semantic (thematic) dimensions, of which various types of relationships can be specified. Changes in the state of each component are the result of geographic events and processes that may occur. Remotely sensed images provide measurements and observations that can be used for the interpretation of dynamic spatio-temporal objects. The observed proprieties are used to classify geographic objects and monitor change that occurs in such object. The intended paper focuses to model the dynamics of spatio-temporal object from a remote sensing observation viewpoint. Dynamic, here, is represented in term of events such as reduction and expansion, split and merging, etc. and in term of geographic processes such deforestation and urbanization. To achieve this purpose, we exploit the description logic extended to semantic spatio-temporal concrete domain as a mechanism for semantic-spatio-temporal reasoning and dynamic representation.","PeriodicalId":332253,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Signal and Image Processing (ATSIP)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128325409","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}

In the context of unsupervised classification, the selection of optimal clusters number is a crucial task that affects the understanding of the clustering result. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to specify the required number of clusters needed in order to get an accurate flood map using the improved FCM approach that takes into account the InSAR coherence information. Indeed, we are solving this cluster analysis problem using fuzzy internal validity criteria namely Partition Coefficient and Partition Entropy indices.

We start by describing the two platforms Hadoop and Spark. The first platform is designed for processing enormous unstructured data in a distributed computing environment. It is composed of two basic elements : 1) Hadoop Distributed file system for storage, and 2) Mapreduce and Yarn for parallel processing, scheduling the jobs and analyzing big RS data.
