Estimation of spectral similarities utilizing segmented regions' probability distribution in the block-optimized pan-sharpened image for material classification.

Pan-sharpening is an image fusion approach that combines the spectral information in multispectral (MS) images with the spatial properties of PAN (Panchromatic) images. This vital technique is used in categorization, detection, and other remote sensing applications. In the first step, the article focuses on increasing the finer spatial details in the MS image with PAN images using two levels of fusion without causing spectral deterioration.

Photocatalytic degradation of congo red dye using nickel-titanium dioxide nanoflakes synthesized by Mukia madrasapatna leaf extract.

Semiconductor photocatalysts are efficient degraders of organic and inorganic waste water pollutants. Herein, we synthesized nickel-titanium dioxide (Ni-TiO) nanoflakes using Mukia maderaspatana leafs with the aim of analyzing their photocatalytic degradation potential. Morphological analyses revealed that the nanoflakes were highly agglomerated with an average size of 100 nm.
