Object-based change detection method for high-resolution remote sensing image combining shadow compensation and multi-scale fusion by Chao WANG, Xuehong ZHANG, Aiye SHI, Dan LI, Yi SHEN

“…As an interpreting symbol of remote sensing images,shadow,however,brings about “pseudo changes”,which is one of the main sources leading to error detection in high-resolution remote sensing image change detection.For this issue,an object-based high-resolution remote sensing image change detection method was proposed combining with shadow compensation and multi-scale fusion.In the object orientation detection framework,the shadows in the remote sensing images were extracted.Then multi-scale change detection was conducted with shadow compensation.In the process,an objective function was constructed of mutual scale information minimization to realize the adaptive extraction of scale parameters.Based on this,combined with the shadow compensation factor,a multi-scale decision-level fusion strategy built on D-S theory of evidence was designed,and the levels of change intensity were further divided.The experiments show that the method is effective in solving the error detection problem caused by shadow,significantly improving the precision of change detection.…”

From shadowing to active learning: exploring the impact of supervised teaching clinics on gynecology education by Sangsang Ren, Hong Zhan, Asanga Fernando, Asanga Fernando, Xiangrong Xu, Weiguo Lu

“…Traditional clinical rotations often leave students in passive roles, limiting their active participation and the development of essential clinical skills.AimThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of STCs on the clinical competencies and professional development of medical students within a gynecological clinic, comparing the outcomes with those of traditional clinic shadowing.MethodsA total of 144 fifth-year medical students were randomly assigned to either a control group, which participated in traditional clinic shadowing, or an STC group, which engaged in both shadowing and supervised teaching activities. …”

Measurement and modeling of indoor off-body channel in the 9.5～10.5 GHz band by Shanhu HUANG, Jun SUN, Haofei CHANG, Wenjun LV, Qin YANG

“…In order to explore the wireless propagation characteristics of high-frequency indoor off-body channel, off-body channel measurements were carried out on multiple typical indoor scenes in the 9.5～10.5 GHz frequency band.In terms of large-scale fading, through studying the path loss, it is found that the human body occlusion factor has a sine function relationship with the rotation angle, and a negative exponential relationship with the distance between the receiver and transmitter.Therefore, a new type of off-body channel loss model related to distance and angle was established, and the accuracy and applicability of the new model was proved based on the shadow fading.In terms of small-scale fading, by analyzing the linear correlation between path loss and root mean square (RMS) delay spread, a new type of RMS delay spreading model related to distance and angle was obtained.It proves that the greater the distance between the antenna at the transceiver end and the occlusion factor caused by the rotation of the human body, the more severe the path loss and multipath fading.The new channel model can be used to design the off-body link of the internet of things environment body area network (BAN), providing a theoretical and practical basis for the future design of indoor wireless communication systems.…”
