New JSI Paper: Comparison of 2D and 3D semantic segmentation in urban areas using fused hyperspectral and lidar data

https://doi.org/10.1255/jsi.2022.a11

Author Summary: Multisensor data fusion has become a hot topic in the remote sensing research community. This is thanks to significant technological advances and the ability to extract information that would have been challenging with a single sensor. However, sensory enhancement requires advanced a...

New JSI Paper: A semi-supervised cycle-GAN neural network for hyperspectral image classification with minimum noise fraction

https://doi.org/10.1255/jsi.2022.a2

Author Summary: Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a popular mode of remote sensing imaging that collects data beyond the visible spectrum. Many classification techniques have been developed in recent years, since classification is the most crucial task in hyperspectral image processing. Furthermore, ex...

Using macro X-ray fluorescence ( ) mapping and and , UK’s
National Gallery has revealed more information regarding the first and second compositions underneath Leonardo da Vinci’s painting "The Virgin of the Rocks"

New research by the UK’s National Gallery into Leonardo da Vinci’s The Virgin of the Rocks (about 1491/2–9 and 1506–8) has expanded our knowledge of the composition he began before abandoning it for the version we see today. An earlier discovery in 2004/5 revealed that the Virgin’s pose had been changed, but there were only hints of the other figures that were assumed to have been part of that first effort. Following months of research using macro X-ray fluorescence ( ) mapping and and imaging, more information has been revealed regarding the first and second compositions underneath the painting. Now for the first time Leonardo’s initial designs for the angel and the Infant Christ can be seen, showing significant differences to how they look in the finished painting.
