Exploring multiple viewshed analysis using terrain features and optimisation techniques
The calculation of viewsheds is a routine operation in GIS and is used in a wide range of applications. Many of these involve the siting of features, such as radio masts, which are part of a network and yet the selection of sites is normally done separately for each feature. The selection of a series of locations which collectively maximise the visual coverage of an area is a combinatorial prob...
متن کاملA parallel computing approach to viewshed analysis of large terrain data using graphics processing units
Viewshed analysis, often supported by Geographic Information Systems (GIS), is widely used in many application domains. However, as terrain data continue to become increasingly large and available at high resolutions, data-intensive viewshed analysis poses significant computational challenges. General-Purpose computation on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) provides a promising means to address...
متن کاملConstructing multiple unique input/output sequences using metaheuristic optimisation techniques
Multiple unique input/output sequences (UIOs) are often used to generate robust and compact test sequences in finite state machine (FSM) based testing. However, computing UIOs is NP-hard. Metaheuristic optimisation techniques (MOTs) such as genetic algorithms (GAs) and simulated annealing (SA) are effective in providing good solutions for some NP-hard problems. In the paper, the authors investi...
متن کاملGeneration of multiple pharmacophore hypotheses using multiobjective optimisation techniques
Pharmacophore methods provide a way of establishing a structure activity relationship for a series of known active ligands. Often, there are several plausible hypotheses that could explain the same set of ligands and, in such cases, it is important that the chemist is presented with alternatives that can be tested with different synthetic compounds. Existing pharmacophore methods involve either...
متن کاملMorphological Terrain Classification and Analysis Using Geostatistical Techniques
Nowadays there is a wide range of systems that provide an efficient and fast data capture for the DEM generation and the spread of the computer systems has allowed the use of DEM to a high number of technicians. Unfortunately, the DEM analysis tools do not have similar development. Actually, the analyses are mainly based in the application of local scale operators that provide additional inform...
