information on the productivity, costs and applications of the logging system is a key component in the evaluation of management plans for the rehabilitation and utilization of caspian forests. skidding and road construction costs are expensive forest operations. determining the optimum forest road network density is one of the most important factors in sustainable forest management. logging me...

We propose in this article an energy minimization based approach to detect dashed lines of road markings from very high resolution aerial images (< 20 cm). The strategy we presented in a previous work was based on the grouping of image features (i.e. segments) extracted from the images (reference, n.d.), but suffers from a few problems such as occlusions mainly due to cars or changing in illumi...

This article describes a component named GeoPIS. With this component it is possible to visualise geographic and attributive data from Road database (BCP) which is used by Slovenian road administration. The component is an upgrade of their business information system, which includes BCP. by adding geographic dimension. Geographical data can significantly improve understanding of road attributive...

This study assessed public acceptance for two new vectorial control techniques for Chagas' disease: insecticidal paint and fumigant canisters. The study compared the two with traditional fenitrothion insecticide spraying. An experimental field study was performed in an endemic area of central Honduras from August to November 1992, a year after the initial application of the treatments. The obje...

Obtaining an accurate vehicle position is important for intelligent vehicles in supporting driver safety and comfort. This paper proposes an accurate ego-localization method by matching in-vehicle camera images to an aerial image. There are two major problems in performing an accurate matching: (1) image difference between the aerial image and the in-vehicle camera image due to view-point and i...
