The protection and conservation attempts of ancient monumental heritage of the city of Hierapolis of Phrygia, during the last few years, are more delineated than in the past as inevitably connected to the environment context, which is characterized by the more extended and significant limestone concretions phenomenon in the world. Studies, excavation works, ancient monuments restorations, carri...

Streets are important component of cities since they provide the best direct impression of the city. Therefore street scenes are important aspect in 3D modeling. Fast 3D City Modeling from a street level can also be quite important for emergency response by providing realistic, updated, accurate information about accessibility to and from affected areas. This paper presents a 3D reconstruction ...

In order to minimize the loss of disasters on urban earthquake damage prediction research is of great significance. This paper, establishment of a data management system based on ArcGIS +Visual Studio. NET platform is an important work of the project, design and development of Langfang City earthquake damage prediction system. Firstly, the overall system framework, then introduce the system to ...

Smart city means an intelligent city called post-ubiquitous city. However, to be a smart city, there are some issues to consider carefully. The first is the security issues having platform and intelligent surveillance function and analysis function as well as inference. The second is the governance issues between government and cities which are developing. And the third is the service issues to...

We consider the problem of regression on multivariate count data and present a Gibbs sampler for a latent feature regression model suitable for both underand overdispersed response variables. The model learns countvalued latent features conditional on arbitrary covariates, modeling them as negative binomial variables, and maps them into the dependent count-valued observations using a Dirichlet-...

Information on the Internet is becoming more attractive and useful for our daily life. It provides things on the town, happenings on the city, and learning of the real world. If we can utilize such information for the interaction between the human and the city, it can enhance the value and the function of the city. In this paper we introduce the research project \Mobile Info Search" in which we...

For a real reductive dual pair the Capelli identities define a homomorphism C from the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the larger group to the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the smaller group. In terms of the Harish-Chandra isomorphism, this map involves a ρ-shift. We view a dual pair as a Lie supergroup and offer a construction of the homomorphism C based solely on...

Imagine you were assigned the task to maintain the map of a new city on the Internet, how would you keep on the pace of the fast developing city in order to make the map up-to-date? How would you know if there was a new restaurant springing up? Until now visual matching is still a challenging area due to variant factors such as affine distortion, change in 3D viewpoint, addition of noise and il...

The Molteno, Elliot, and Clarens formations comprise the continental Stormberg Group of the Karoo Basin of South Africa and Lesotho. The Molteno Formation contains a well preserved macroand microfloral assemblage but apparently no vertebrates; the Elliot and Clarens formations contain abundant vertebrates but virtually no floral remains. The vertebrate taxa represented by skeletal remains are l...

In this paper, a design framework is presented for integrating the various perspectives and major investigation aspects of ubiquitous smart spaces. A key problem in developing ubiquitous smart spaces is how to design a physical space that maps to the underlying computing infrastructure and the corresponding patterns of situated interactions in every life. This paper explores design methods and ...
