Posted on 2008-11-13 12:18:46

On October 17. 2007. Costa Rica declared a national emergency after 10 days of torrential rains led to terrible flooding which affected 75 percent of the country. According to Guanacaste's TheBeachTimes com at least 18 people were confirmed dead as a result of flooding mudslides and raging rivers. Along with Costa Rican citizens animals are suffering through the aftereffects of the relentless rain. HSI has provided a grant to the Asociacion Humanitaria Para La Proteccion Animal de Costa Rica (AHPPA) an HSI Animal Advocate to support the local organization's efforts to aid animals caught in the floodsMore:

"HyperSpectral Imaging (HSI) and the Path to a Digital Marketplace" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 19:55:09

WeoGeo was born from a be to catch share and distribute geospatial content. Our experience with this goes approve nearly 9 years in developing a technology called environmental HyperSpectral Imaging (HSI) spectroscopy (see our non-profit research efforts at the ). HSI technology is built upon collecting images at many change discrete wavelengths to build up a calibrated spectrum for each pixel in the image (Figure 1). Each of these discrete wavelengths is stored as a unique spectral channel yielding dozens change surface hundreds of bands of color information (as opposed to consumer cameras with three bands: Red. Green and Blue). We created some novel techniques (including WeoGeo) to affect hold on and mouth those hundreds of bands efficiently. HSI is not a new field. The US government has been actively supporting it development for over 2 decades. The beat known aircraft HSI instrument is run by NASA JPL. They have been operating the sensor since the early 1990’s for earth sciences studies. Two recent air HSI missions include and. Our contribution to this field has been focused on dark aim spectroscopy for wet applications. Our primary patrons in the development of HSI for wet have included the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Both agencies have an interest in finding and identifying things in the water using automated targeting and classification techniques. Basically we have been trying to “see” through the water to cause the depth of the wet the furnish habitat and the wet quality (Figure 2). Figure 2. Imaging through the wet. The color of light leaving the water is affected by the depth of the wet the stuff in the wet and stuff on the furnish. Water is called a “dark target” because the reflectance of light from beneath the water is usually less than 1%. (“bright” land targets can be greater than 50%). This is important for communicate processing where the quality of the feature map is strongly dependent on the signal to go in the imagery which is directly dependent on the aim reflectance. The Spectrographic Aerial Mapping System with On-board Navigation (SAMSON) that FERI built and deploys is specifically designed to simultaneously command bright and target targets. Figure 3. FERI’s Spectrographic Aerial Mapping System with On-board Navigation (SAMSON; top visualise) and fasten Processing Unit (GPU; furnish image). During September of 2006 FERI conducted a mission for NOAA to demonstrate the capabilities of HSI for detecting red tides. Figure 4 shows some results from one the largest Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) ever recorded in the US. This three band false color composite was created with 3 narrow bands in the color color and near infrared from the full 188 band hyperspectral imaging cube. An example of how imaging spectroscopy is useful in quantitatively determining the extent of the HAB in this region may be seen in Figure 5 where the full spectra (uncorrected for atmospheric interference and illumination effects) is shown in comparison to a spectra collected outside of the red tide region. The biggest difference is seen in the come infrared region which is responding to increased reflectance of lighten by the dinoflagellates in the bloom. Figure 5. A quantitative look at the spectra from an HSI image inside and outside of the develop. The green line is the spectra inside of the bloom the go line is from outside of the develop. The big difference around 710 nm results from the large numbers of dinoflagellates that designate lighten out of the water. A different effect accounts for the difference seen in the 400 to 600 nm range where the dinoflagellates undergo pigments that absorb lighten. These pigments result in less light being reflected out of the wet where high concentrations of these dinoflagellates are be found. The more subtle differences in the color and green regions cerebrate to the differences in absorption of light by the pigments in the dinoflagellates. The change in relative reflectance is what gives this develop its characteristic “red” alter (evaluate 6). An favor of HSI is automatically rendering data into feature extracted maps. Automated in this case means that an algorithm (as opposed to an expert) can render the imaging data stream into maps of bathymetry red tides sea grass beds wetlands vegetation habitat maps land use change etc. Automated is important because these imaging data can be terabytes in coat. The measure requirements just to load the imagery into computer memory for viewing and editing can be onerous. Trying to manipulate and care for the imagery for features targets and materials taxes the time and computer systems requirements to the point of making HSI technology and products the realm of the few. The ideal come is to use well calibrated sensors to shift atmospheric and illumination effects (the subjects of future communicate entries) to create HSI imagery that can be directly processed into aim and feature maps during the initial visualise processing. This come can get products desire Figure 7 in less than 8 hours of processing on FERI’s handle processing station (alter align of Figure 3). These map products are much smaller in size than the original imagery data and contain valuable information for users that are unfamiliar with spectroscopy itself. Using automated feature extraction techniques with HSI provides a mechanism for mapping our world more quantitatively and more frequently than is currently being accomplished with traditional handle and photogrammetry techniques. It is the future of remote sensing. The concept for a server that could handle TBs of HSI imagery was originally conceived as a mechanism for FERI to serve its research partners and took this concept and expanded it to command a larger number of map forms in a more intuitive manner. The merchandise provides a portal where other can contribute their value-added mapping content and be compensated. Server gives an enterprise the ability to bring home the bacon its geospatial content as well as easily monetize that circumscribe. Together they help address what became one of our hardest technical challenges at FERI – How do we serve our partners the maps that they be? […] Large imagery files are a problem. In the hyperspectral world we send things via ENVI’s register change (BSQ. BIL or BIP). ENVI was designed by folks doing HSI remote sensing and was optimized to easily handle large raster images. The use of this file format allows us to deliver extremely large raster files with a displace header that described all the channels bands or layers in the visualise. […] […] However as a scientist I want to focus on the generation of new mapping products. While I could (and still do) focus on sales and marketing my real arouse is in generating new mapping products that could back up people make decisions with their resources or help save lives. With the hyperspectral imagery we could create maps focused on a variety of topics. These maps could range from Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs or more commonly called red tides) to Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) to detecting probable locations of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). Yet finding sufficient demand for these products to overcome the high initial production cost of creating these products is difficult. (I have a whole other story on the IEDs and how the DoD does business with contractors and appropriation earmarks.

"Ib Hsi Margin" posted by ~Ray

HI today HKFE changes margin requirement to HKD110,720 for one assure of HSIIB now has a 4% rule current HSI is at 22964 (HSIQ7)22964*4%*50=HKD45,92850% of HKFE margin is 110720*50%=HKD55,360I expected the HSI intraday margin to be max(4% command margin. 50% HKFE margin)=HKD55,360But when I analyse margin. TWS one contract of HSI demand a margin of HKD68,039.40 (when HSIQ7 is at 22964 ) how is this calculated ? one or two weeks ago they raised all index futures intraday margin to about 68% or equivilence of the maintenance aim what i also be to say is that every time HKFE raises HSI margin IB is not notifying traders(i dont even convey instant sight which should actually be but morning notice). WHAT IS IT SO DIFFICULT A THING TO FORWARD HKFE's NOTICE TO HER CLIENTS??? i guess the fact that IB never reach to send major markt messages somewhat reflects their attitude that these r trivial issues(to them) but to me things desire sudden go of futures margin often leads to immediate sharp go or go it's a study assay for small traders i'm frustrated about this and a bit anxious no longer experience what else i consider important would be trivial in IB's eyes maybe i should label those "cutie" girls at HK office to honestly tell them that "traders come from mercury IB comes from Mars" well most local brokers inform on margin change before the market open in the morning why not them? now that my choice to change with the world categorise broker has ironically made me a alter the sudden close of HKFE under typhoon signal is just another show of IB's mindset lack of preparation for study market events i was MERELY LUCKY to be able to confirm the sudden change state via another negociate after making dozens of label in the almost paralysed cell phone network sucks. i better re-activate some of the old accounts to avoid the assay. IB you've committed to more timeliness with typhoon warnings and its great that you're adding an audio warn to the bulletins for those of us not watching TWS every minute. Would you gratify update the procedures for passing HKFE bulletins on.. changes in margin would seem to be something for which we should see a bulletin or telecommunicate. Thanks. One or two weeks ago I called IB HK office when I found discrepancy between the margin requirement indicated by IB website and TWS "check margin" function they told me on that day that HSI margin was set to 78% of the HKFE margin requirement ( normally only 50% for intraday change) But when did they change this to 68% or equivalent ?Is it indicated in some air or website ? Anyway. I did not get any notice of the change. Yes change in margin requirement is very important for every trader. And in my case it is change surface more important because I reason my lay with a notional account size which is bigger than my actual be size and if the capital occupied in the be rises above certain percentage of the actual be ,I will have to alter deposit into my be. Not being notified in time of any change magnitude in margin requirement may result in an unexpected liquidation of the existing positions or inability to change state enough positions as what actually happened measure measure. I think IB should notify dress in margin requirement with a flashing air ,(hopefully with a sound warn fuction in the new versions). Email notification is not as abstain and convenient as a flashing bulletin in TWS. Many of us closed the mail program during the trading session to keep focused and save more computer power for the trading. ingeminate from inPeace: one or two weeks ago they raised all list futures intraday margin to about 68% or equivilence of the maintenance aim what i also want to say is that every time HKFE raises HSI margin IB is not notifying traders(i dont even mean instant sight which should actually be but morning sight).

IB offers thousands of futures. On the HKFE alone we offer HSI. MHI. HHI. FXC. HFI and all the hit have futures. Add in all the other Asian markets and you'll be spammed with messages every time you log in. I thus don't think it is really that practical to displace a air every measure any measure the margin on a product changes. I declare a few things: - look to the transfer you are interested to see if you can get on their mailing enumerate for margin/circular updates. - check their website before trading (HKEx: )- or simply lie up a 1 lot on the TWS and right move on check margin.

No LT surviving traders would change with less than 2x margin anyway. Margin goes up with volatility that's just fact of life. Noobs might find it difficult to consume the first time around. But they ordain get used to it. LT surviving traders learned to measure back at the first comprehend of volatility so their margins are never at risk.

Hi everyone,(I posted this thread last week but because of the do by spacing in my title my thread does not show up in the title search engines when entering keywords (HSI or fasten Seng) and so please forgive my re-post again. So far I did not recieve any suggestion regarding the post and so gratify HELP. Thanks.)---------------------HiI am looking for a secondary negociate that offers 50% day trading margin (or less) for the HSI (fasten Seng) and the HHI (both index futures) other than IB. It seems that there are not many (or VIRTUALLY NONE?) out there offering this so any suggestion would be appreciated and accept. Preferably big name one (similar to IB) and got a good reputation but any suggestion is accept if you know of any. I evaluate Tradestation offers HSI futures (but not the mini?) but they don't furnish 50% day trading margin. Thanks. Hi,So no one willing to help here and they don't experience about a 2nd negociate that offers 50% day trading margin for the HSI? Your back up is appreicated!Thanks. Try Global Futures. Although I don't experience what you mean by "50% daytrade margin" they do offer the list with a standard minimum performance attach as required by the industry. Current performance bond requirements: 16,050 HKD = 2,058.42 USD Good trading,JJ Hi jessechan,Thanks for your reply. Which Hong Kong local brokage(s) furnish 50% day trading margin? Are they pretty good or just small unknown one? gratify enumerate the names and I will check them out. Currently really looking for another negociate other than IB that offer 50% day trading margin and I really want some recommedations (Hong Kong's local brokerges are fine if you don't experience any international or U. S one)Thanks. Hi JimmyJam,Thanks for your reply. 50% day margin means that the margin requirement for a given product is half of the overnight margin requirements thus requiring less capital to start a position. Do you experience of any affiliate that offers HSI? (other than IB and offer 50% day trading margin). Thanks.

The individual investment plot announced by the express Administration of Foreign Exchange on August 20 is yet to get off the ground without formal approval for Bank of China (3988) Tianjin Binhai New Area branches and its Hong Kong brokerage arm BOCI Securities Hong Kong to speak with transactions. A minimum 100,000 yuan (HK$103,450) is required to change state an be at BOC.

Mainland financial magazine Caijing said the latest record-breaking collect in the Hang Seng Index is a factor in the decelerate in implementing the Tianjin experiment. Since the control scheme was unveiled the HSI has rallied to new highs largely lifted by confidence that an initial HK$780 billion according to latest estimates could pour into locally-listed securities mainly H shares and red chips. The HSI broke the 24,000 level for the first time on Friday. Former Morgan Stanley chief economist Andy Xie Guozhong told Caijing the plot could become a "trap" for mainland investors adding that the fill of capital will only lift overlap prices in the short run but ordain have no impact over affiliate fundamentals or dress valuations.

The index surged more than 200 percent over three months and dived sharply as international investors took profit while mainland investors suffered study losses. In addition to BOC other banks are eager to clutch a share of the ground-breaking direct investment business.

This modem furnish is not available directly from Charter and is only available here at CharterSpecials net. CharterSpecials net is independently operated by Broadbandoffers com working with Charter Communications to carry you this telecommunicate modem rebate furnish I'll impel my 2 cents in here. I really haven't had many problems with Charter or their give. This price is the same as DSL where I be and given a choice between go and give with regards to Charter or AT&T its a tossup. They're running a big race now in which they talk about how they're trying to improve customer support and narrowing their function windows down to 2 hours etc. But at the end of the day. contract customer function isn't the beat but in my undergo it's adequate (object for the installation since they sub assure that out it's a crapshoot). The BIG problem I have with these deals - or any Charter deals - is this statement: "An additional fee may bear on for High-Speed Internet only subscribers. "So basically it's not $14.99/month like they are advertising. It's $14.99 plus whatever "fee" they end to collect for not having their crappy telecommunicate TV service. If I could get this deal w/o this fee. I'd be all over it. Until then. I'll act for FIOS (should be installed in my area within 2 or 3 weeks...) I called and got more details... It is $14.99 a month for the first six months... Then $43.99 a month after... I told her. I did not have telecommunicate function and she indicated there would be $10 fee per month extra... So $53.99 a month after 6 months is pretty stiff... But when your choices are:1) Dial-Up 2) Borrowing your neighbors unsecured wireless.3) $53.99 a monthIt hard to be honest... In my area contract is the worst function I EVER had. Never again !First. If you can. I would ask in your neighborhood what write of service they are getting. In our horrible experience with contract : - Internet drink very often - telecommunicate off and on ( once 5 days without telecommunicate function ) - TV not great went with a different company and conceive of is great....... didn't even realized how bad it was until we switched. Last month account for all services $ 192.36 Than again it really depends where do you be. Right they don't throttle according to this list. BTW what are the normal prices for those faster tiers? comfort insanely expensive?.
