Methodological approaches to identifying and mapping fields of specific crops on a basis of high-resolution satellite images using phenological, geographic, and regional statistica... by Alexey Unagaev, Irina Korotkova, Natalia Efremova

“…These methods are often based on remote sensing data, scarce information about the location and boundaries of fields of a particular crop, and involve analyzing phenological changes throughout the growing season by utilizing vegetation indices, e.g., the normalized difference vegetation index. However, this approach encounters challenges when attempting to distinguish fields with different crops growing in the same area or crops that share similar phenology. …”

Spam filtering algorithm based on geographic E-mail path analysis by ZHANG Ni1, JIANG Yu2, FANG Bin-xing1, LI Guo1

“…A geographic E-mail path based algorithm called GEPA（geographic E-mail path analysis） was proposed to al-low network administrators to cut off spam traffic on E-mail delivery.The algorithm first extracted route information to build E-mail path subset,and then uesed an effective method mapping IP addresses or domain names of nodes in an E-mail path into geographic information.Further,the algorithm detected spam by their geographic information deviation,using E-mail traffics from a link of backbone border router in China,which crosses the country boundary of China,the performance of GEPA algorithm is evaluated.The experimental results indicated that a 13.9% reduction of E-mail can be achieved with method.The results also showed GEPA was effective and practical which can be implemented in a mas-sive traffic environment handling over millions of mails every day with small memory consumption.…”
