Wavelets for Image Fusion In this chapter we present some recent results on the use of wavelet algorithms for image fusion. The chapter starts with a brief introduction of image fusion. The following sections describe three different wavelet transforms and the wa... S Nikolov,P Hill,D Bull,....
referenced photo-ID image, recorded on a specific day at a specific location); these encounters occurred across all known breeding and feeding areas. SPLASH reinforced the value of broad-scale data sharing and collaboration, and exposed gaps in knowledge of humpback whale status in the North ...
Training and image augmentation procedures were developed to compen-sate for the small number of available images. The trained AMWR achieved 93% prediction accuracy on the testing subset of 36 positive/MW1020 and 228 negative/not-MW1020 images, where each negative image contained at least one ...
