An efficient method for the unsupervised classification of high resolution imagery is suggested in this paper. It employs pixel-linking and merging based on the adjacency graph. The proposed algorithm uses the neighbor lines of 8 directions to include information in spatial proximity. Two approaches are suggested to employ neighbor lines in the linking. One is to compute the dissimilarity measure for the pixel-linking using information from the best lines with the smallest non. The other is to select the best directions for the dissimilarity measure by comparing the non-homogeneity of each line in the same direction of two adjacent pixels. The resultant partition of pixel-linking is segmented and classified by the merging based on the regional and spectral adjacency graphs. This study performed extensive experiments using simulation data and a real high resolution data of IKONOS. The experimental results show that the new approach proposed in this study is quite effective to provide segments of high quality for object-based analysis and proper land-cover map for high resolution imagery of urban area.

The main aim of this study is to characterize new classes of multicone graphs which are determined by their adjacency spectra, their Laplacian spectra, their complement with respect to signless Laplacian spectra and their complement with respect to their adjacency spectra. A multicone graph is defined to be the join of a clique and a regular graph. If n is a positive integer, a friendship graph $F_n$ consists of n edge-disjoint triangles that all of them meet in one vertex. It is proved that any connected graph cospectral to a multicone graph $F_n{\nabla}F_n=K_2{\nabla}nK_2{\nabla}nK_2$ is determined by its adjacency spectra as well as its Laplacian spectra. In addition, we show that if $n{\neq}2$, the complement of these graphs are determined by their adjacency spectra. At the end of the paper, it is proved that multicone graphs $F_n{\nabla}F_n=K_2{\nabla}nK_2{\nabla}nK_2$ are determined by their signless Laplacian spectra and also we prove that any graph cospectral to one of multicone graphs $F_n{\nabla}F_n$ is perfect.

This study proposed an unsupervised image classification through the dendrogram of agglomerative clustering as a higher stage of image segmentation in image processing. The proposed algorithm is a hierarchical clustering which includes searching a set of MCSNP (Mutual Closest Spectral Neighbor Pairs) based on the data structures of RAG(Regional Adjacency Graph) defined on spectral space and Min-Heap. It also employes a multi-window system in spectral space to define the spectral adjacency. RAG is updated for the change due to merging using RNV (Regional Neighbor Vector). The proposed algorithm provides a dendrogram which is a graphical representation of data. The hierarchical relationship in clustering can be easily interpreted in the dendrogram. In this study, the proposed algorithm has been extensively evaluated using simulated images and applied to very large QuickBird imagery acquired over an area of Korean Peninsula. The results have shown it potentiality for the application of remotely-sensed imagery.

K-means clustering uses a spherical or elliptical metric to group data points; however, it does not work well for non-convex data such as the concentric circles. Spectral clustering, based on graph theory, is a generalized and robust technique to deal with non-standard type of data such as non-convex data. Results obtained by spectral clustering often outperform traditional clustering such as K-means. In this paper, we review spectral clustering and show important issues in spectral clustering such as determining the number of clusters K, estimation of scale parameter in the adjacency of two points, and the dimension reduction technique in clustering high-dimensional data.

In 2017, Nikiforov proposed the A_𝛼-matrix of a graph G. This novel matrix is defined as A_𝛼(G) = 𝛼D(G) + (1 - 𝛼)A(G), 𝛼 ∈ [0, 1], where D(G) and A(G) are the degree diagonal matrix and adjacency matrix of G, respectively. Recently, Zhai, Xue and Liu [39] considered the Brualdi-Hoffman-type problem for Q-spectra of graphs with given matching number. As a continuance of it, in this contribution we consider the Brualdi-Hoffman-type problem for A_𝛼-spectra of graphs with given matching number. We identify the graphs with given size and matching number having the largest A_𝛼-spectral radius for ${\alpha}{\in}[{\frac{1}{2}},1)$.

Expander graphs are useful in the design and analysis of communication networks. Mukhopadhyay et. al introduced a method to generate a family of expander graphs based on nongroup two predecessor single attractor CA(Cellular Automata). In this paper we propose a method to generate a family of expander graphs based on 60/102 Null boundary CA(NBCA) which is a group CA. The spectral gap generated by our method is larger than that of Mukhopadhyay et. al [12]. As an application we give an algorithm which generate one-way functions whose security lies on the combinatorial properties of our expander graphs. the one-way function using d-regular graph generated by the 60/102 NBCA is based on the Goldreich's construction [5].

Image segmentation techniques becoming increasingly important in the field of remote sensing image analysis in areas such as object oriented image classification. This paper presents a new method for image segmentation in High Resolution Remote Sensing Image based on Seeded Region Growing (SRG) and Edge Information. Firstly, multi-spectral edge detection was done using an entropy operator in pan-sharpened QuickBird imagery. Then, the initial seeds were automatically selected from the obtained edge map. After automatic selection of significant seeds, an initial segmentation was achieved by applying SRG. Finally the region merging process, using region adjacency graph (RAG), was carried out to get the final segmentation result. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method has good potential for application in the segmentation of high resolution satellite images.
