| Abstract | A comprehensive and highly interdisciplinary research program is being carried out to investigate global land cover dynamics in heterogeneous parallel computing environments. Some of the problems are addressed including atmospheric correction, mixture modeling, image classifications by Markovian random fields and by segmentation, global image/map databases, object oriented parallel programming and parallel/IO. During the initial two years project, significant progress has been made in all of these areas |
