Digital Architecture as Crime Control

The impact of digital architecture on cityscape

Abstract Digital architecture, as a proceeding architectural style, has caused fundamental evolutions in architectural design and building appearance via applying complex geometries and topologies. Computers and digital tools have truly altered the design process and architectural conception facilitating production of new eye catching forms. Avant-garde architectural forms have emerged from the...

A Digital Control Architecture for Quadrotor Aircraft

We show that the principal attitude and inertial dynamics of a quadrotor aircraft can be decomposed into a cascade of three passive and one interior conic subsystem such that a proportional digital feedback loop can effectively be applied to each subsystem in a nested manner. This proportional feedback architecture includes one saturation block nested between the attitude and inertial control s...

How "Digital" is Traditional Crime?

Measuring how much cybercrime exists is typically done by first defining cybercrime and then quantifying how many cases fit that definition. The drawback is that definitions vary across countries and many cybercrimes are recorded as traditional crimes. An alternative is to keep traditional definitions of crime and quantify the amount of associated information and communication technologies (ICT...

Image Retrieval of Digital Crime Scene Images

The digital image has a predominant position among multimedia data types, and it plays a valuable role in numerous human activities, such as law enforcement, forestry management, environment management, weather forecasting and entertainment. In forensic sciences, digital images have been widely used, such as fingerprints, scene photos, firearm tool marks, and so on. Therefore, the arrangement o...
