Evaluation of turbulence mitigation methods

Atmospheric turbulence is a well-known phenomenon that diminishes the recognition range in visual and infrared image sequences. There exist many different methods to compensate for the effects of turbulence. This paper focuses on the performance of two software-based methods to mitigate the effects of low-And medium turbulence conditions. Both...

Computational versus psychophysical bottom-up image saliency: A comparative evaluation study

The predictions of 13 computational bottom-up saliency models and a newly introduced Multiscale Contrast Conspicuity (MCC) metric are compared with human visual conspicuity measurements. The agreement between human visual conspicuity estimates and model saliency predictions is quantified through their rank order correlation. The maximum of the...

The multi-sector convergence approach. A flexible framework for negotiating global rules for national greenhouse gas emissions mitigation targets

This report presents an approach, called the Multi-Sector Convergence(MSC) framework, to generate comprehensive sets of national targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation. The MSC framework is aimed at facilitating international negotiations on national emission mitigation targets after the first budget period defined in the Kyoto Protocol....

A comparison of the eco-efficiency of two production routes for methanol

To achieve sustainable development in the chemical industry, there is a need for methodologies to assess the eco-efficiency of alternative and novel technologies. The aim of this project was to use a case study to investigate the application of existing tools to assess eco-efficiency. The case study compared the conventional methanol production...

Monitoring energy efficiency indicators in the Netherlands in 1999: Dutch contribution to the project `Cross country comparison on energy efficiency - Phase 5`

The study uses energy efficiency indicators to present and review theenergy efficiency situation in the Netherlands in the last decades. The indicators are calculated along a common methodology, using the ODYSSEE database and national data. Such analysis leads to a better understanding of national developments, because indicators allow for a...

Towards a streamlined CDM process for solar home systems: emission reductions from implemented systems and development of standardised baselines

Opportunities to streamline the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) processfor solar home systems are outlined. A streamlined CDM process would require standardised calculation of greenhouse gas emission reduction. The present report gives an overview of CO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; emission reduction figures from 8 solar home system...

Implementation of thermal processes for feedstock recycling of bromine and antimony, with energy recovery, from plastics Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE): Phase 1: literature survey/status update, evaluation, and ranking of combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis based technologies

The bromine industry wants to process plastic Waste from Electrical andElectronic Equipment (WEEE), containing brominated flame retardants (BFRs), to recycle bromine, antimony, and other valuable metals, with energy recovery for sustainable production and closing the bromine loop at the End-of-Life. The motivation to perform the underlying study...

Volatile organic compounds and aerosols in air: Development of sampling methods, chemical analysis and modelling

Emissions of traffic contribute to a large extent to the health effectsof air pollution. It is still uncertain how much of these effects are due to aerosols and whether chemical composition or just the number of particles are important. The interactions between gaseous and particulate matter in the atmosphere requires that scientific studies...
