Next two weeks are crucial for India.
If we take adequate precaution and break the chain then we can tide the Corona virus Outbreak else we have a big problem in hand especially for the elderly population
So far so good. India has done well so far in its fight to contain Corona Virus. Now we are in stage 3 in which Virus spreads through social contacts & in social gatherings. This is most critical stage & number of confirmed cases spread exponentially everyday like what happened in Italy between last week of February & second week of March. From 300 to 10,000. If India is not able to manage this stage for next 3 to 4 weeks then we could have confirmed cases not in Thousands but in Lakhs. This next one month is crucial. That is why most events & public gatherings have been closed till 15th April.

Just because schools are closed avoid getting that compulsive travel & Holiday bug. Holidays will come next year too why try your luck with Corona specially with children. Marriage functions, Birthday parties etc can wait. Don't try your luck & that bravado that nothing will happen to me. Next 30 days will be most crucial in medical History of India. Take all precautions while at home & while outside for any important work. Precaution is not panic.

Be a responsible citizen by following & educating others to remain careful for next one month.

Spatial feature manipulation in remote sensing

-
Image
Spatial feature manipulation in remote sensing refers to the process of altering or modifying the spatial characteristics of a particular feature in an image or data set. This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to improve the accuracy or clarity of the image, to enhance the interpretability of the data, or to extract specific information from the image. One common method of spatial feature manipulation is resampling, which involves changing the resolution or spatial extent of an image. This can be done to match the resolution of other data sets, to reduce the size of the image for faster processing, or to increase the resolution for greater detail. Another technique is spatial filtering, which involves applying mathematical operations to the image data to remove noise or highlight specific features. This can be done using convolution filters, which apply a pre-defined mathematical function to the image data, or using image enhancement techniques, such as contrast stretching

Grey level thresholding. Level slicing. Contrast stretching. Image enhancement Lillesand and Kiefer (1994) explained the goal of image enhancement procedures is to improve the visual interpretability of any image by increasing the apparent distinction between the features in the scene. This objective is to create "new" image from the original image in order to increase the amount of information that can be visually interpreted from the data. Enhancement operations are normally applied to image data after the appropriate restoration procedures have been performed. Noise removal, in particular, is an important precursor to most enhancements. In this study, typical image enhancement techniques are as follows: Grey level thresholding Grey level thresholding is a simple lookup table, which partitions the gray levels in an image into one or two categories - those below a user-selected threshold and those above. Thresholding is one of many methods for creating a binary mask for an i

Spatial filtering, Remote Sensing. Low-pass filter. High-pass filter

Spatial filtering encompasses another set of digital processing functions which are used to enhance the appearance of an image. Spatial filters are designed to highlight or suppress specific features in an image based on their spatial frequency. Spatial frequency is related to the concept of image texture. It refers to the frequency of the variations in tone that appear in an image. "Rough" textured areas of an image, where the changes in tone are abrupt over a small area, have high spatial frequencies, while "smooth" areas with little variation in tone over several pixels, have low spatial frequencies. A common filtering procedure involves moving a 'window' of a few pixels in dimension (e.g. 3x3, 5x5, etc.) over each pixel in the image, applying a mathematical calculation using the pixel values under that window, and replacing the central pixel with the new value. The window is moved along in both the row and column dimensions one pixel at a time and the ca
