Water Level Measurement Locations for Coastal Aquifer Management
The coefficient of variation of the optimal cost (CVOC) method is applied to the Acqua dei Corsari coastal aquifer in Sicily's north coast to find the best point for a new water-level measurement location. The purpose of collecting data from the new measurement location is to reduce uncertainty associated with a stochastic management model for salt-water intrusion control. Assuming that uncertainty mainly stems from spatial variability of permeability, the structural parameters of the stochastic spatial permeability field are estimated using data from a nearby aquifer with similar geological properties. It is first shown through sensitivity analysis that the lack of previous information inh…
An Integrated Neural and Algorithmic System for Optical Flow Computation
Motion detection plays a central role in several visual environments: knowledge of object velocities and trajectories is fundamental in scene interpretation and segmentation. This task appears a simple problem, but detecting moving objects is very difficult, in fact this is a problem that cannot be considered completely solved today [1] [2] [3].
