In this study, we perform a case study on imagery from the Haiti earthquake that evaluates a novel object-based approach for characterizing earthquake induced surface effects of liquefaction against a traditional pixel based change technique. Our technique, which combines object-oriented change detection with discriminant/categorical functions, shows the power of distinguishing earthquake-induced surface effects from changes in buildings using the object properties concavity, convexity, orthogonality and rectangularity. Our results suggest that object-based analysis holds promise in automatically extracting earthquake-induced damages from high-resolution aerial/satellite imagery.

We describe an accurate method for performing calculations and present preliminary results in the context of the California Extremely Large Telescope.
This paper describes a proof-of-concept inchworm actuator designed to provide nanometer resolution, high stiffness, large output force, long travel range, and compactness for ultraprecision positioning applications in space.
A common method for texture representation is to use the marginal probability densities over the outputs of a set of multi-orientation, multi-scale filters as a description of the texture.
To achieve high thermal-to-electric energy conversion efficiency, it is desirable to operate thermoelectric geneteor devices over large temperature gradients and also to maximize the thermoelectric performance of the materials used to build the devices.
This paper is a summary of the work presented in the video tape demonstrating the integrated modeling capabilities that exist in an analytical tool being developed at JPL called IMOS (Integrated Modeling of Advanced Optical Systems).
