Suitability Assessment of Ground Level Imagery for Geospatial Vr Modeling
Improvements in sensor technology and modeling capabilities have resulted in a trend towards generating large-scale VR models of urban scenes, for use in geospatial applications. Selecting the appropriate imagery to generate VR models from a large collection of available ground-level photos is currently performed through visual inspection. In this paper we introduce well-defined metrics to supp...
متن کاملA geospatial risk assessment model for leprosy in Ethiopia based on environmental thermal-hydrological regime analysis.
Geospatial methods were used to study the associations of the environmental thermal-hydrological regime with leprosy prevalence in the Oromia and Amhara regions of Ethiopia. Prediction models were developed that indicated leprosy prevalence was related to: (i) long-term normal climate grid data on temperature and moisture balance (rain/potential evapo-transpiration); (ii) satellite surveillance...
متن کاملLife-Cycle Assessment of Microalgal-Based Biofuels
Fossil fuel depletion and attempts of global warming mitigation have motivated the development of biofuels. Several feedstock and transformation pathways into biofuel have been proposed as an alternative to usual fuels. Recently, microalgae have attracted a lot of attention because of the promise of reduced competition with food crop and lowered environmental impacts. Over the last years, sever...
متن کاملEngineering-based New Reservoir Design and Environmental Suitability Analysis with Geospatial Technology
As a follow up to the 2007 drought and water scarcity in Georgia and especially in North Georgia, there is a greater need of creating new water reservoirs. The main goal of this study is to use geospatial technology, engineering and environmental knowhow to find suitable locations in North GA for building a reservoir to serve primarily for drinking water supply and irrigation. Another objective...
متن کاملPlant-based biofuels
This review is a short synopsis of some of the latest breakthroughs in the areas of lignocellulosic conversion to fuels and utilization of oils for biodiesel. Although four lignocellulosic ethanol factories have opened in the USA and hundreds of biodiesel installations are active worldwide, technological improvements are being discovered that will rapidly evolve the biofuels industry into a new...
