New JSI Paper: Comparison of 2D and 3D semantic segmentation in urban areas using fused hyperspectral and lidar data

https://doi.org/10.1255/jsi.2022.a11

Comparison of 2D and 3D semantic segmentation in urban areas using fused hyperspectral and lidar data Author Summary: Multisensor data fusion has become a hot topic in the remote sensing research community. This is thanks to significant technological advances and the ability to extract information that would have been challenging with a single sensor. However, sensory enhancement requires advanced a...

https://doi.org/10.1255/jsi.2022.a2

A semi-supervised cycle-GAN neural network for hyperspectral image classification with minimum noise fraction Author Summary: Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a popular mode of remote sensing imaging that collects data beyond the visible spectrum. Many classification techniques have been developed in recent years, since classification is the most crucial task in hyperspectral image processing. Furthermore, ex...

https://doi.org/10.1255/jsi.2020.a12

Innovative technique for analysis of wastewater contaminants using hyperspectral imaging Author Summary: Accurate, fast, quantitative on-site analysis of wastewater is an environmental necessity. Therefore, we report a quantitative spectroscopic study in order to analyse organic contaminants in wastewater. For this purpose, two spectroscopy-based techniques were utilised and their resul...

https://doi.org/10.1255/jsi.2020.a11

Spatial analysis of Hyperion hyperspectral indices to map the vegetation state in the coastal oases of Tunisia Author Summary: An elevated human presence due to the involvement of the coastal oases of Tunisia in the global petrochemical industry and population pressure in the 1970s has resulted in major changes in the oases’ agro–ecosystem environment. The consequences of this have been urbanis...

Using macro X-ray fluorescence ( ) mapping and and , UK’s
National Gallery has revealed more information regarding the first and second compositions underneath Leonardo da Vinci’s painting "The Virgin of the Rocks"

New research by the UK’s National Gallery into Leonardo da Vinci’s The Virgin of the Rocks (about 1491/2–9 and 1506–8) has expanded our knowledge of the composition he began before abandoning it for the version we see today. An earlier discovery in 2004/5 revealed that the Virgin’s pose had been changed, but there were only hints of the other figures that were assumed to have been part of that first effort. Following months of research using macro X-ray fluorescence ( ) mapping and and imaging, more information has been revealed regarding the first and second compositions underneath the painting. Now for the first time Leonardo’s initial designs for the angel and the Infant Christ can be seen, showing significant differences to how they look in the finished painting.

Over 1000 chapters from ICNIRS Proceedings are now freely available to download. https://www.impopen.com/nir-proceedings

IM Publications published the first Icnirs conference proceedings in 1991, which was held in Aberdeen; jointly with VCH, the German Chemical Society publisher (now Wiley-VCH). Since then we have published a number of the Proceedings (1995, 1997 and 2007 as Special Issues of /JNIRS/, 1999, 2001, 2003 and more recently 2017). We have just made these, except for the /JNIRS/ issues which are now published by SAGE, freely available at: https://www.impopen.com/nir-proceedings

I believe that the Proceedings of ICNIRS conferences contain important information for today’s researchers that can easily be overlooked and probably isn’t discoverable through regular search methods. The ability to access this archive may save researchers time and research effort, avoiding “reinventing the wheel”. There are now more than 1,000 chapters in total freely available to download.
We hope to add some more in the future but a number were published by commercial publishers, from whom it may be difficult to obtain permission, and digitising print copies will be a lot of work. However, I think we have made a good start. Icnirs
