Geo-Presentation and Geo-Reaction

Mineral resources and geo-engineering

Metals used in everyday life are produced from ores occurring in the Earth’s crust. Geological processes are known to concentrate minerals to form ores of economic value. Mineral processing engineers concentrate these ores by mechanical and physico-chemical methods while the extractive metallurgist extracts the metals by chemical means.

Geo-placement: Geo-replicated Database Placement

Geo-replication is the process of maintaining copies of data at geographically dispersed datacenters for better availability and fault-tolerance. The distinguishing characteristic of geo-replication is the large wide-area latency between datacenters that varies widely depending on the location of the datacenters. Thus, choosing which datacenters to deploy a cloud application has a direct impact...

RANSACing Optical Image Sequences for GEO and near-GEO Objects

This paper describes statistical models and an efficient Monte-Carlo algorithm for detecting tracks of slowly moving objects in optical telescope imagery sequences. The algorithm is based on accurate robust image pre-registration with respect to the star background, hot/warm pixel suppression, extracting dense normalized local image features, pixelwise statistical event detection, segmentation ...

Towards geospatial interoperability based on geo-service and geo-ontology

The complex and proprietary nature of geospatial data makes them almost non-sharable among large user community. GIS interoperability is necessary for realizing a successful spatial data infrastructure. With the advancements of web service technology, GIS interoperability has made a paradigm shift – from monolithic GIS providers to distributed geospatial services. The applicability of web servi...
