This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pattern recognition and pattern matching are two important tasks in scientific image analysis. Researchers use patterns on image data to observe the phenomena that cannot be captured by human eyes, to model the activities of certain objects, and to evaluate the mathematical and physical assumptions. Tasks of pattern recognition and pattern matching on scientific images are complicated because they require domain knowledge to interpret the patterns. Compared with standard photography, scientific images usually depict a fussy state which is not self-explainable in most cases. In addition, the increasing size of image data in this big data era compounds the workload for researchers in processing and analyzing these data. This thesis is motivated to construct faster and more accurate computational models for scientific images using machine learning and optimization techniques. Instead of seeking a unified processing tool for all scientific images, this thesis proposes computational approaches according to the actual requirements and challenges in two real-world problems. In the first part, this thesis employs pattern recognition to detect severe weather events early. While numerical weather prediction is widely used in the weather forecast, we still rely on people to interpret high-level visual clues from satellite and radar visualizations. A machine-learning-based approach is proposed to detect any "comma-shaped cloud", which is a specific cloud distribution pattern strongly associated with storm formation. To train the model, we extracted shape and motion-sensitive features from delicately selected regions. The validated utility and accuracy of our method suggest a high potential for assisting meteorologists in weather forecasting. In the second part, this thesis proposes problem-specific pattern matching frameworks on scientific image processing applications under the settings of optimal transport (OT). OT is a widely used optimization tool that can solve the minimal transportation cost between two probability distributions. The classical OT formula, however, asserts strict mass transportation constraints, which is not feasible for matching the complicated patterns in scientific images. Additionally, because the standard OT setup optimizes minimal spatial distance, it may not work on the special data structures of scientific images. Scientific images can match according to other features, including shape, scale, color, and contours. To overcome the limitations of standard OT, we use the geometry of data structure to regulate OT and design computational models according to the requirement of applications. For example, for the task to match cells on microscopy, a bipartite graph is proposed to regularize OT and combine cell shape and location information in the optimization function. For another task to match two color distributions in image editing, Gaussian mixture models (GMM) are used to capture the color semantics better. Instead of forcing the mapping between two discrete color histograms, this thesis proposes a parametric framework to remove the artifact. This thesis concludes by discussing some future directions in developing more intelligent pattern recognition and matching systems for interpreting scientific images.
Download or read book Artificial Intelligence of Things for Weather Forecasting and Climatic Behavioral Analysis written by Gupta, Rajeev Kumar and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weather forecasting and climate behavioral analysis have traditionally been done using complicated physics models and accompanying atmospheric variables. However, the traditional approaches lack common tools, which can lead to incomplete information about the weather and climate conditions, in turn affecting the prediction accuracy rate. To address these problems, the advanced technological aspects through the spectrum of artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) models serve as a budding solution. Further study on artificial intelligence of things and how it can be utilized to improve weather forecasting and climatic behavioral analysis is crucial to appropriately employ the technology. Artificial Intelligence of Things for Weather Forecasting and Climatic Behavioral Analysis discusses practical applications of artificial intelligence of things for interpretation of weather patterns and how weather information can be used to make critical decisions about harvesting, aviation, etc. This book also considers artificial intelligence of things issues such as managing natural disasters that impact the lives of millions. Covering topics such as deep learning, remote sensing, and meteorological applications, this reference work is ideal for data scientists, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renewable Energy Forecasting: From Models to Applications provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of renewable energy forecasting technology and its applications. After an introduction to the principles of meteorology and renewable energy generation, groups of chapters address forecasting models, very short-term forecasting, forecasting of extremes, and longer term forecasting. The final part of the book focuses on important applications of forecasting for power system management and in energy markets. Due to shrinking fossil fuel reserves and concerns about climate change, renewable energy holds an increasing share of the energy mix. Solar, wind, wave, and hydro energy are dependent on highly variable weather conditions, so their increased penetration will lead to strong fluctuations in the power injected into the electricity grid, which needs to be managed. Reliable, high quality forecasts of renewable power generation are therefore essential for the smooth integration of large amounts of solar, wind, wave, and hydropower into the grid as well as for the profitability and effectiveness of such renewable energy projects. Offers comprehensive coverage of wind, solar, wave, and hydropower forecasting in one convenient volume Addresses a topic that is growing in importance, given the increasing penetration of renewable energy in many countries Reviews state-of-the-science techniques for renewable energy forecasting Contains chapters on operational applications
Download or read book Meteorology of Tropical West Africa written by Douglas J. Parker and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meteorology of tropical West Africa: the Forecasters’ Handbook presents the science and practice of weather forecasting for an important region of the tropics. Connecting basic theory with forecasting practice, the book provides a unique training volume for operational weather forecasters, and is also suitable for students of tropical meteorology. The West African region contains a number of archetypal climatic zones, meaning that the science of its weather and climate applies to many other tropical regions. West Africa also exhibits some of the world’s most remarkable weather systems, making it an inspiring region for students to investigate. The weather of West Africa affects human livelihoods on a daily basis, and can contribute to hardship, poverty and mortality. Therefore, the ability to understand and predict the weather has the potential to deliver significant benefits to both society and economies. The book includes comprehensive background material alongside documentation of weather forecasting methods. Many examples taken from observations of West African weather systems are included and online case-studies are referenced widely.
