A Method of J-M Distance Based "salt-and -pepper" Noise Removing Authored by Jian Wu This paper deals with the salt-and-pepper noise existed in the classified satellite images based on the spectral similarity which is identified by the Jeffries-Matusit (J-M) distance. An increased order of J-M distances for the collected samples of the land use/cover (LUC) types are established, the LUC type with the least J-M distance pair separation is chosen and whose patches area less than the minimum mapping unit (MMU) are combined to the other LUC type of the pair.

Predicting the Civil Engineering Characteristics through Soft Computing Models Authored by Zahra Keshavarz Recently, scientists have used different soft computing models for estimating various civil engineering characteristics, since they are economical, reliable, and time-saving. Among all, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) have been the most efficient ones, which are used by scientists in multiple occasions. This study is the comprehensive review on capability of ANFIS and ANN models in predicting different civil engineering characteristics.
