Detection System Of Illegal Logging Image Using Matching Process With Discrete Cosine Transform Syafruddin Syarif1

The affect of environmental issues occur everyday and in particular deforestation is becoming a highly ranked subject. From animals to the human race, the alacrity of trees that are cut down affects every individual in a variety of ways. Not only do people need to help the planet but they need to help themselves and further generations to come, such as children and grandchildren because these natural resources that are being taken away from society are as well shaping the future. For comprehensible reasons, forests use to make up the world, until man made creatures started to destroy and destruct the most important supply to human kind which are trees. Trees are crucial to every living entity for the reason of providing oxygen to all.

According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an estimated 18 million acres of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year. Undeniably, the deteriorating environmental situation, the increasingly severe pollution of the atmosphere, and water, the severe damage to the living environment of wild animals and plants, the extinction of many species, the deforestation and the transitional mining of mineral resources caused contrary facts. Human existence and development have brought real and more serious potential threats. The scarcity of environmental resources is manifested gradually. As environmental issues are becoming a bottleneck restricting economic growth, it is imperative that lousy effect governed the environment.

The forests have an independent watchdog(?) named British Columbia’s Forest Practices Board (BCFPD). The board oversees the activities of forest companies, their private contractors, and the government on public land. The board audits randomly selected forestry companies to be audited for compliance and enforcement with forest practice requirements, audits the enforcement of the government forest practices requirements, addresses public complaints on forestry practices, and conducts special investigations on forestry issues (mr113). All the work that the BCFPD does has led to notable positive changes in BC forestry. Some of these positive changes include: Less disturbance from logging, smaller cut blocks, better logging roads and proper maintenance, and more deactivation of logging roads (mr113). While reports have noted these improvements, the board still believes that there is room for improvement. Policies and changes are continually evolving to make BC’s forest as competitive and sustainable as possible. Some of the changes that are believed to be needed include new policies for efficiency, more timber availability to smaller organizations, such as first nations or small communities to help long-term economic development, and many others(mr113).

These 16 features included 12 features calculated based on the 6 multispectral bands, which is mean value and standard deviation of these bands. In addition, we chose intensity, texture-variance, texture-mean, and NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) for classifications. Finally, training samples were selected for each classification category based on the previously segmented and merged objects

Clear cutting forests can be proven to be an unstable way of practising forestry as its long term affects to an environment target the climate, soil conservation, biodiversity and hydrological regimes. Depleting forest resources will be given strict and serious punishment as it affects society as a whole and not

The basic principle of this algorithm is to recognize the input paper currency. First of all acquired the image from a particular source. As in this thesis we use for reference images. System read the particular image. Then resize the image. After that the color separator convert the image into RGB to Gray scale and then in binary image. After that the system use color noise median filter. The currency length detector detects the length of the currency. Using the feature extraction techniques the system detect the particular feature of that currency and then the system use pattern matching algorithm to math that particular feature. The input image match with particular database image and according to that we find the currency. In this way this thesis design a automatic system in which we can recognized the paper currency.

The main purpose of logging is to make more room for the agriculture animals and farming, oil and gas extraction, mining operations, and ever-increasing development. With taking all that wood away they put it towards the humans use leaving no land for the animals that live there. Daintree Rainforest is the logging companies main target to collect ancient wood which has caused 80% of endangered species to happen. About ⅔ of the land in Daintree Australia is plants and animals habitat and land dwelling. There is an estimated that their is 18 million acres of forest lost each year and on top of that 1½ acres of forest are being cut down every second. If logging keeps going at that rate or increase in the next quarter of a century 28,000 or more

Used navigation device to find the longitudes and latitudes to the location of the sweetgum and black oak tree. Took pictures twice a week of the trees changes over the weeks and Observation the process of leaves changes and leaves falling from the weather conditions. The data we gather will be Compare from previous data from Project

old trees, small trees and shrubs. The timber volume of about 19 billion cubic meters,

The aim of this report is to examine Computer Forensics and Anti Forensics in details, investigation and Analysis techniques, and standard set of procedures which Forensics investigators must follow

When logging is done sensibly, it can benefits nearby forests. When the taller trees are cut down, smaller trees and shrubs can access sunlight easier. When sustainable logging companies log they will often only target non-native plants so that they can rehabilitate entire ecosystems. Logging certain plants can restore the forest area to its previous glory. (Openreader.org,

The three factors/ approaches that best explain the current patterns of forest decline and recovery are population/markets, political economy, and ethics. The population/markets approach introduces the concept of forest transition theory which talks about how the economic growth that destroys forests is also necessary for its restoration and return. The initial expansion in population and economic activity puts pressure on forest resources, resulting in rampant deforestation that clears land for agricultural use. The intensification of agriculture then allows more crops to be grown on less land, in turn freeing up unneeded land for forest recovery. From a political economy standpoint however, a decrease in forest cover is viewed as an expansion

At first there was concern only among foresters about deforestation but now the public has created organizations such as Green Peace to facilitate increased awareness and reduce deforestation. The Food and Agriculture Organization (F.A.O.) has worked mainly within the forestry community to find new and better ways to manage the forests. In 1985 there was the introduction of the Tropical Forestry Action Plan or T.F.A.P. This plan involved the F.A.O, United Nations, World Bank, other developmental agencies, and several other multi-national government organizations; together they developed a new strategy. More than sixty countries have decided to prepare national forestry action plans to manage their forests (Gallant, 381).

I am appealing to you as a conservationist. I believe that the natural resources of the forest can be of great help to us. As we experience this oil and gas crisis in the US, we are forced to import oil from foreign countries. Thus causing the cost of

Abstract—Automatic recognition of people is a challenging problem which has received much attention during recent years due to its many applications in different fields. Face recognition is one of those challenging problems and up to date, there is no technique that provides a robust solution to all situations. This paper presents a technique for human face recognition. A self-organizing program is used to identify if the subject in the input image is “present” or “not present” in the image database. Face recognition with Eigen values is carried out by classifying Eigen values in both images. The main advantage of this technique is its high-speed processing capability and low computational requirements, in terms of both speed, accuracy and memory utilization. The goal is to implement the system for a particular face and distinguish it
