Abstract: A system for processing remotely acquired imagery includes a storage element (316) for receiving first and second sets of imagery data associated metadata defining a first image of a panchromatic image type and a second image of a multi-spectral image type (404). The system also includes a processing element (302) communicatively coupled to the storage element and configured for obtaining a mapping between pixels in the first image and the second image based on the associated metadata (406). The processing element is further configured for generating a third set of imagery data defining a third image of a panchromatic type based on the second set of imagery data (408). The processing element is also configured for generating an alternate mapping for the first and second images based on comparing areas of pixels in the first and third images that are non-corresponding according to the mapping function (426).

Inventor: FINK JENS
IPC: B01J8/00
Filed: 2010-08-27
Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for transfer of particulate material, such as biomass feedstocks, into and out of pressurized reactors. Improved sluice devices have an L- shaped sluice chamber having an upper, vertical component in communication with a horizontal loading chamber and a lower component in communication with a vertical reactor inlet or outlet. Piston valves seal the sluice inlet and outlet by axial displacement across the vertical component of the sluice chamber and across the vertical reactor inlet or outlet. Relative to other methods for reactor unloading, these devices consume less steam and significantly reduce furfural content of unloaded, pretreated biomass. An optional hybrid plug/sluice method of biomass feeding using the devices permits biomass loading at sluice pressures intermediate between atmospheric and reactor pressure, thereby reducing "pump cycle" time and increasing biomass throughput capacity.
