This paper highlights the importance of using Remote Sensing and GIS for assisting the seismic risk assessment for historical town centres in Cyprus. The selected case study is the Paphos town centre including the archaeological area of Nea Paphos. The authors present their proposed methodology for inventory collection, which is based on the integrated use of aerial photos and satellite imagery...

This paper constitutes a preliminary introduction to a project concerning the south-western area of Aquileia in antiquity. Through the collection and the study of historical and archaeological documents, historical maps, modern aerial photos and the fulfillment of geomorphological surveys, the evolution of the forms of settlement and land use will be investigated. Historical maps and modern ort...

To construct realistic 3D models of large environments that match the physical world as accurately as possible there is the need to combine several kinds of data sources, such as: ground and aerial laser range scans, tracking data, photos, GPS data, satellite images. In this paper we concentrate on the ground level data acquisition. We present two integrated solutions for automated 3D acquisiti...

The aim of this study is to quantify the actual urbanization activity near the catchment area in the urban area of interest located in the vicinity of the Agriokalamin River area of Kissonerga Village in Paphos District. Remotely sensed data such as aerial photos, Landsat-5/7 TM/ETM+ and Quickbird image data have been used to track the urbanization activity from 1963 to 2008. In-situ GPS measur...

This paper introduces a study of morphotectonic structure in the Central Alborz Basin, Mazandaran province of Iran (about 1200 square kilometer), using Russian KFA-1000 satellite photography and sequential air photographs. The KFA-1000 metric camera has better ground resolution than SPOT and LANDSAT for the whole of the study area. Results are provided from one pair of 30×30 cm. photos, which p...

Over the last four decades Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have emerged as the predominant medium for graphic representation of geospatial data, including geotechnical, geologic and hydrologic information routinely used by geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineers. GIS allow unlimited forms of spatial data to be co-mingled, weighted and sorted with any number of physical or environment...

Facebook is a popular social network that can be used for self-presentation. In the current study we examined gender differences in Facebook self-presentation by evaluating components of profile and cover photos. We used evolutionary psychology—a theory which holds many assumptions regarding gender differences—to draw hypotheses. In order to eliminate the pitfalls of self-reported data, we anal...

Land use change may influence many natural phenomena and ecological processes, including runoff, soil erosion, sedimentation and soil conditions. Decreasing of forest area in the North of Iran is one of the critical problems in recent years. The aims of this study are to detect land use changes between 1967 to 2002 using satellite images of Land Sat 7 ETM (2002), aerial photos and digital topog...

Analysis of the use unmanned aerial systems in combat zone indicates a constant increase requirements for intelligence data. One ways to effectiveness UaV application is artificial methods. The basis building reliable neural network model large amount various data, which helps more accurately summarize information about given task. article considers an approach increasing accuracy object image ...

VAE is a generative model that “provides probabilistic description of observations in potential Spaces”. Put simply, this means stores attributes as probability distributions. The idea variational auto-encoders or deeply rooted the methods DB Bayesian and graphical models. This piece work will discuss Structure, Loss Function, Translation, our final effects.
