Image registration
Definition:
Image registration is the process of aligning images from two or more data sets. It involves integrating the images to create a composite view, improving the signal-to-noise ratio, and extracting information that would be impossible to obtain from a single image. Image registration is used in remote sensing, medical imaging, cartography, and other applications that rely on obtaining precise information from images—for example, discovering from satellite images how an area became flooded, or detecting tumors from MRI scans.
There are two well-known approaches to the process of automatic image registration: feature-based and intensity-based registration algorithms.
Image Registration Principle
The goal of image registration is removing of image

Edge detection using Prewitt and Sobel operators can also be achieved by using imfilter with the corresponding 3×3 masks (which can be created using fspecial).
THE CANNY EDGE DETECTOR
The Canny edge detector [Can86] is one of the most popular, powerful, and effective edge detection operators available today. Its algorithm can be described as follows:
1. The input image is smoothed using a Gaussian low-pass filter with a specified value of σ: large values of σ will suppress much of the noise at the expense of weakening potentially relevant edges.
2. The local gradient (intensity and direction) is computed for each point in the smoothed image.
3. The edge points at the output of step 2 result in wide ridges. The algorithm thins those ridges, leaving only the pixels at the top of each ridge, in a process known as nonmaximal suppression.
4. The ridge pixels are then thresholded using two thresholds Tlow and Thigh: ridge pixels with values greater than Thigh are considered strong edge pixels; ridge pixels with values between Tlow and Thigh are said to be weak pixels. This process is known as hysteresis
The output resulted from this focus on the high frequency content in the image without changing anything in the image phase. This result with an image enhanced in contrast sometime this enhancement results with ugly artifacts. 3.5- Logarithmic Transform Domain Transform Domain allow us or gives us the ability to show the frequency content of the image, however it is uninformative or compacted. In figure (3) this will be obvious .By working on the problem we discovered that the solution is to take the logarithm of the image.
Then it passes through canny edge detection technique. It provides a binary image with wrinkle edges as shown in Fig. 4(a). The white pixels of the wrinkle area give information about wrinkle present in the facial image. In binary image, binary value 1 is used for white pixel, and binary value 0 is for black pixel. So, sum of the pixel values of wrinkle area in binary face image is directly proportional to wrinkle present in the face as shown in Fig. 4(b).
1.2 RESEARCH OBJECTIVES: 1.2.1 Creating Data Set The images used in this work have been obtained from the Street View service developed by Google. It provides high- resolution views from various positions along many streets and roads in the world. These images are taken at discrete geographical locations defined by a pair (LAT, LON) (latitude and longitude in decimal degrees, respectively) [19].

3.4 Functional Requirements • The system should process the input given by the user only if it is an image file (JPG, PNG etc.) • System shall show the error message to the user when the input given is not in the required format. • System should detect characters present in the image. • System should retrieve characters present in the image and display them to the user.
This is done by calculating the hash value of the image, both before and after the image is

Using coordinates or simple objectives allows the ability to make proper determination. Geographic data allows identifiable information to be offered to subscribers with the encouragement of geographical indicators. Display tools offer a realism of visual effects and the most applicable advantages. Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, spatial statics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Systems of these nature offer geographers collaborative and analyzed information far more unique than traditional research techniques (Geographic Information Systems as an Integrating Technology: Context, Concepts, and Definitions,2015). Lastly, geographic reality and space relation must be gathered using input and output of data and formulaic sequences, but the tools make them applicable to user.
The still images taken by Nathaniel Oliver a fellow Grand Valley State University alumni are interesting in there own specific ways but there are three photos that truly stand out from the rest. The three images that I believe are unique from the rest are images 7, 14, and 18. Image 7, which depicts a girl blocking some sort of black substance with her hand in front of her face is very interesting to me and seems to have a lot of internal meaning to it. When I look at the photo there seems to be a strong tone which to me is representing awakening or seeing the light. When I look at the girl in the photo it looks like she is looking into the light and is starting to rise from the dark.
How often have you used your smart phone to look up directions to an unknown location? How often have you GONE for a run and used some kind of app or electronic map to determine the distance of your exercise? Chances are at some point you have used imagery taken by satellites orbiting the earth, to get a better idea of location, distance, or a general understanding of what something looks like. Today, unclassified imagery is utilized by millions of people across the world. The accuracy, availability, clarity, and large area of coverage creates a database of imagery that is at the world’s disposal, and it’s unclassified.
Abstract— Face recognition is one of the most important biometric and face image is a biometrics physical feature use to identify people. Major and Minor segments of face space are eyes, nose and mouth. In biometrics quality face is the most imperative characteristic method for recognize individuals. High intra-class variety inside face pictures of the same individual is the significant issue in face distinguishment. Posture, statement and enlightenment are in charge of high intra-class variety.
Introduction The term chromatography actually means colour writing, and signifies a technique by which the substance to be examined is placed in a vertical glass tube containing an adsorbent, the different segments of the substance traveling through the adsorbent at distinctive rates of velocity, according to their degree of attraction to it, and producing bands of colour at different levels of the adsorption column. The substances least absorbed emerge earliest; those more strongly absorbed emerge later. (Wixom et al., 2011) In chromatography of all types, there is a mobile phase and a stationary phase.
These concept is also known as STP (Segmentation, Targeting
Abstract The purpose of carrying out this experiment was to investigate the phenomenon of Newtons’s Rings, to gain a better understanding of the theory Newton developed as well as to calculate the radius of curvature of a plano-convex lens and the thickness of a section of optical fibre. The effect is named after Isaac Newton who first studied it in 1717. The pattern observed appears as a series of concentric bright and dark fringes, which has its centre at the point of contact between two surfaces.
In second language learning, using visual aids is a necessity teaching strategy in both English as Second Language (ESL) classroom and English as Foreign Language (EFL) classroom (Allen, Kate & Marquez, 2011). They believed that using visual aids in the process of teaching a foreign language can strengthen what learners have learned and increase their interest. In their article, they proposed the positive impact of using visuals and they concluded that teachers should become aware of the strategies in which they can use visual aids and use them purposefully in the classroom to enhance students’ learning. Visual aids can be defined as using objects, drawings, charts, photographs, videos, multimedia presentation, etc.
