Fifty years of geophysical researches of glaciers in Institute of Geography, the Russian Academy of Sciences, 1966–2016 by V. M. Kotlyakov, Yu. Ya. Macheret

“…Basic results of these studies are the following: (1) the new data on the ice thicknesses, ice volumes, subglacial relief, internal structure, and thermal state of the glaciers were obtained; (2) the two‑layered (polythermal) glaciers consisting of the upper layer of cold ice and the lower layer of temperate water‑filled ice had been revealed in Svalbard for the first time; spatial distribution of cold, polythermal and temperate glaciers had been determined; (3) the evidences were obtained that measured changes in thickness of the upper cold ice layer in polythermal glaciers can be used to estimate the long‑period variations of regional climates and serve as regional paleothermometers; (4) methods for estimating the water content in temperate and polythermal glaciers from the RES data were developed; and its space‑time variations in temperate ices of the Svaldbald glaciers were estimated since even small water content inside of them can noticeably change their dynamic behavior; (5) methods for estimating the ice volume within glaciers in large regions of mountain and polar glaciations had been created; the ice storages were estimated in Svalbard, Franz Josef Land, Dzhungrsky Alatau, the Great Caucasus, and Mt. …”

Extraction of blurred infrared targets based on a manifold regularized multiple-kernel model by YANG Dao, FU Dong-mei

“…Specific to the problem of infrared target extraction with blurred edges,this article introduces an extraction method based on a manifold regularized multiple kernel semi-supervised classification model.Firstly,the maximum variance of inter-class(OTSU) method is used to compute the initial segmentation threshold,and the certain target and background areas and the uncertain blurred edge area are determined.Then,local space sets of pixels are constructed in each area,the multiple-kernel functions are used to map the grayscale mean and variance in local space,and the location information feature in local space is obtained by manifold regularization(MR).On the basis of features,a semi-supervised classification model is established to classify the local space sets of pixels in the blurred edge area.Finally,the optimal segmentation threshold is computed.Experiments with comparisons show that this method is efficient and less in time-consuming.…”
