Criminality in the Film of the Post-1968 Czechoslovakia
Hodura, Pavel ; Pullmann, Michal (advisor) ; Kolář, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the depiction of criminality and violence in the film in the post-1968 period in Czechoslovakia called normalization. The topic is closer explored especially in the second half of the 80s. The thesis seeks to demonstrate this phenomenon on three selected films (Pavučina, Bony a klid, Proč?). The social perception of criminality and violence in the film is viewed from the perspective of contemporary media reactions, particularly from professional critics, reviews, and surveys, or from the opinions of viewers. The aim is to determine the image of this phenomenon of criminality and violence in the society by comparing these media outputs.

Hyperspectral Remote Sensing for Environmental Mapping and Monitoring
Kopačková, Veronika ; Kolář, Jan (advisor) ; Chabrillat, Sabine (referee) ; Van den Meer, F. Devaraj (referee)
The main purpose of this thesis is to use Image Spectroscopy as a tool to monitor the environmental conditions in a region affected by anthropogenic activities via estimating both geochemical and biochemical parameters on a regional scale. The research has been carried on the Sokolov lignite mine, NW Bohemia, a region affected by long-term extensive mining. The thesis is divided into two thematic parts. First part is devoted to applications of Image Spectroscopy into Acid Mine Drainage mapping and its related issues (chapters 2 and 3). In chapter 2 the equivalent mineral end-members were successfully derived from the ASTER image data (Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer satellite data). In the chapter 3 the pH was estimated on the basis of mineral and image spectroscopy. The Multi Range Spectral Feature Fitting (MRSFF) technique was utilized for mineral mapping and the multiple regression model using the fit images, the results of MRSFF, as inputs was constructed to estimate the surface pH and statistical significant accuracy was attained. In the second thematic part (chapters 4-6) Image Spectroscopy is applied into monitoring of vegetation stress. A new statistical method was developed to assess the physiological status of macroscopically undamaged foliage of Norway...

Use of remote sensing for determination of the water content
Matyáš, Jiří ; Kolář, Jan (advisor) ; Kopačková, Veronika (referee)
Using SAR data for wet snow monitoring Abstract This paper focuses on an existing method of snow information retrieval by means of satellite SAR data. The method was first presented by Malnes and Guneriussen (2002), and has been proven to be capable of sub-pixel classification of wet snow. It is also able to classify dry snow pixels. The classification is based on change detection, so a snow-free reference image is required. Some flaws in this algorithm have been discovered during the work on this paper and are discussed, as well as a possible solution is suggested. Because this method is uncapable of classifying pixels containing water bodies, I have proposed an algorithm that can classify snow cover on lakes to enhance its capabilities. Also, a way to improve the wet snow cover classification by means of optical data was suggested. Keywords: SAR, snow cover, remote sensing, wet snow

Determination of cloud types from satellite radiometric measurements
Opat, Lukáš ; Kolář, Jan (advisor) ; Kaňák, Ján (referee)
The thesis is focused on analysis and possible modifications of methods and procedures allowing the determination of various cloud types using the satellite data. Today, the main methods are concentrated around two the most applied international projects, one being developed for the instrument MODIS on board American Terra and Aqua polar satellites, and the other one being developed for the instrument SEVIRI on the European geostationary satellite Meteosat. The algorithms used for automatic discrimination of several cloud types operationally are created on these models. The American program MODIS Atmosphere have been created by NASA and the European program NWC SAF have been developed by organization EUMETSAT. Content of the thesis is to specify how input parameters influence final result of cloud determination in both models, and how results are depending on the external meteorological and geographical conditions during data acquisition. The effort will be given to identification of main drawbacks at two models and to identify conditions when their respective application is limited, their results different and to make steps towards possible modifications to mitigate the drawbacks. The analysis will use ground data and optimal developed procedure for validation of satellite data processing. The...

Sigma-porous sets and the differentiation theory
Koc, Martin ; Zajíček, Luděk (advisor) ; Zelený, Miroslav (referee) ; Kolář, Jan (referee)
of the dissertation thesis Title: Sigma-porous sets and the differentiation theory Author: Martin Koc Department: Department of mathematical analysis Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Luděk Zajíček, DrSc., Department of mathematical analysis Abstract: The thesis consists of five research articles. In the first one, it is shown that there exists a closed upper porous (in a strong sense) subset of a nonempty, topolo- gically complete metric space without isolated points that is not σ-lower porous (in a weak sense). In the second article, a new notion of porosity with respect to a measure, that generalizes the upper porosity of a measure, is introduced. Several natural definitions of this notion are investigated. The main result of this chapter is a decomposition theorem for sets that are σ-porous with respect to a measure. The third article deals with sets of points at which arbitrary real functions are Lipschitz from one side and not Lipschitz from another side. A full characterization of the system generated by sets of this type is proved. In the fourth article, several results on relations among metric derived numbers for functions with values in metric spaces are shown. The last chapter deals with existence of differentiable extensions for functions defined on closed subsets of Rn . Its main result...

Procedure of a smile effect radiometric correction for hyperspectral scanner
Skalický, Filip ; Kolář, Jan (advisor) ; Kopačková, Veronika (referee)
The diploma theses focused on the topic of removing spectral aberration of sensor. The anomaly is being called spectral smile effect, or spectral curvature. Usually are with this artifact affected hyperspectral sensors, whose sensing is based on principle corresponding to pushbroom scanner. The defect occurs in the data as brightness gradient in the cross-track direction to the sensor flight and affects the object's spectral characteristics shape. Removing is important particularly in case of applying atmospheric correction algorithm, which are being degraded with presence of this defect. The work contents description of current methods used for detecting and eliminating this anomaly. The work is closer focused on the methods removing the defect based on own measured data without use of calibration targets. There is being examined sensitivity of the methods on the scene perception character, meaning heterogeneity of the scene and other outside influence. One of the methods is deeply processed resulting in increasing quality of the method for removing the defect.

The creation of the Soviet union's ideal and its media image in the Czechoslovak media in 1950's
Cihlářová, Gabriela ; Köpplová, Barbara (advisor) ; Kolář, Jan (referee) ; Halada, Jan (referee)
The objective of the present thesis entitled The creation of the Soviet union's ideal and its media image in the Czechoslovak media in 1950's is to show the effort of the major daily newspaper of that time - i.e. Rudé právo - to describe Soviet science. Creating a positive image of the Soviet Union through the presentation of scientific breakthroughs represents a significant way of building the ideal image of the USSR. More than fifty years later, it may be well analyzed which scientific fields were glorified by right, wherein the Soviet Union really excelled; and the rest, glorified only for propagandistic purposes. The theoretical part of this paper deals with the political situation in the USSR at the end of 40's and in the 50's as well as with the overall scientific environment during the same period. It characterizes the position of Rudé právo and describes the method of investigation. The paper however centers on the media analysis of ten separate time periods. The basic research method consists in historical and content- related analysis. The areas to be analyzed include the most important military research event of the decade under investigation - the successful test of the Soviet H-bomb, as well as the first successful use of nuclear energy for civilian purposes in the world - the startup...
