The integration of building information modelling (BIM) and geographic information system (GIS) in construction management is a new and fast developing trend in recent years, from research to industrial practice. BIM has advantages on rich geometric and semantic information through the building life cycle, while GIS is a broad field covering geovisualization-based decision making and geospatial...

This paper describes an approach to reconstruct the complete history of a 3-d scene over time from imagery. The proposed approach avoids rebuilding 3-d models of the scene at each time instant. Instead, the approach employs an initial 3-d model which is continuously updated with changes in the environment to form a full 4-d representation. This updating scheme is enabled by a novel algorithm th...

One of the law-like regularities of psychological science is that of developmental progression – an increase in sensorimotor, cognitive, and social functioning from childhood to adulthood. Here we report a rare violation of this law – a developmental reversal in attention. In Experiment 1, 4to-5-year-olds (N= 34) and adults (N = 35) performed a change detection task that included externally cue...

The purpose of this paper is to develop the GIS educational environment in training program using open-source GIS software. First, we have verified the substitutability of laboratory exercise materials at our university from commercial GIS to open-source GIS software. Next, we grasp the improvement situation of the free spatial data that are opened to the public by the government and present th...

This paper deals with a Speed Limit Assistant (SLA) performing the fusion of a Geographic Information System (GIS) and a vision system. The present strategy is based on multi-level data fusion using Evidence Theory. In a first step, the GIS reliability is estimated through GIS criteria related to the positioning, the localization and the digital map resolution. Contextual criteria also extracte...
