Homogeneous Regions

The article considers an algorithm for determining the statistical model from several inhomogeneous images of the Earth's surface obtained by different sensors (optoelectronic scanning device, synthetic aperture radar (SAR)) over the sea areas. The object of the study are the methods of remote sensing of the Earth used for detection and mapping of oil spills. The aim of the research was to perform testing for a possible variation of the statistical model inside a non-uniform sliding window based on a semi-automatic approach. The proposed algorithm makes it possible to determine the spatial extent of oil production sites and oil pollution in offshore waters using multi-time RSA data and a multi-zone combined image with a spatial resolution of 10 m. First, homogeneous regions are analyzed in the image, and then the model of the analysis zone is expanded to the more general case of inhomogeneous regions that are observed in the analysis windows.

New Facilities

The problem of identifying changes occurring in the territory of an urban area due to construction of new facilities, renovations and reconstructions using remote sensing of the Earth was considered. Various algorithms for automated detection of changes from different-time satellite images in the ERDAS IMAGINE 2010 program are analyzed in practice. Factors that must be considered when monitoring urban areas are identified.

The Way

This paper attempts to rethink difference and divisibility as conditions of (im)possibility for love and survival in the wake of Derrida's newly discovered—and just recently published—Geschlecht III. I argue that Derrida's deconstruction of what he calls ‘the grand logic of philosophy’ allows us to think love and survival without positing unicity as a sine qua non. This hypothesis is tested in and through a deconstructive reading of Heidegger's second essay on Trakl in On the Way to Language, where Heidegger's phonocentrism and surreptitious nationalism converge in an effort to ‘save the earth’ from a ‘degenerate’ Geschlecht that cannot survive the internal diremption between Geschlechter. I show that one way of problematizing Heidegger's claim is to point to the blank spaces in the ‘E i n’ of Trakl's ‘E i n Geschlecht’, an internal fissuring in the very word Heidegger mobilizes in order to secure the future of mankind.
