The model can deal with the problem of mineral prediction without defining a training area. In mineral target prediction, the pre-defined statistical cells, such as grid cells, can be implicitly transformed using kernel techniques from input space to a high-dimensional feature space, where the nonlinearly separable clusters in the input space are ex- pected to be linearly separable. Then, the transformed cells in the feature space are mapped by the fourth quan- tifieation theory onto a low-dimensional scaling space, where the sealed cells can be visually clustered according to their spatial locations. At the same time, those cells, which are far away from the cluster center of the majority of the sealed cells, are recognized as anomaly cells. Finally, whether the anomaly cells can serve as mineral potential target cells can be tested by spatially superimposing the known mineral occurrences onto the anomaly ceils. A case study shows that nearly all the known mineral occurrences spatially coincide with the anomaly cells with nearly the smallest scaled coordinates in one-dimensional sealing space. In the case study, the mineral target cells delineated by the new model are similar to those predicted by the well-known WofE model.展开更多

It combined the correlation filter tracking framework and the salient feature model of the target. In the tracking process, the maximum Kernel correlation filter response values of different feature models were calculated respectively, and the response weights were dynamically set according to the saliency of different features. According to the filter response value, the final target position was obtained, which improves the target positioning accuracy. The target model was dynamically updated in an online manner based on the feature saliency measurement results. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively utilize the distinctive feature fusion to improve the tracking effect in complex environments.展开更多
