The focus of this study is the evaluation of the Image Quality Index (IQI) in mosaics generated from aerial images collected by a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA). The software packages used to generate the mosaics were PhotoModeler, PhotoScan and Pix4Dmapper. The mosaic generated by the software PhotoScan was superior to the others visually, but inferior to the software PhotoModeler in relation...

When designing a plant for continuous or semi-continuous processes, such as paper pulp or petrochemical production systems, engineers face very complex tasks, which are only in part supported by software tools. The paper analyses the problem, proposes the RCAD software architecture and describes partial implementation results. The architecture, which is based on a simple yet powerful conceptual...

Role of packages in organization and maintenance of software systems has acquired vital importance in recent research of software quality. With an advancement in modularization approaches of object oriented software, packages are widely considered as re-usable and maintainable entities of objectoriented software architectures, specially to avoid complicated dependencies and insure software desi...

In simulation software selection problems, packages are evaluated either on their own merits or in comparison with other packages. In either method, a list of criteria for evaluation of simulation software is essential for proper selection. Although various simulation software evaluation checklists do exist, there are differences in the lists provided and the terminologies used. This paper pres...

A large number of computational scientific research projects make use of open source software packages. However, the development process of such tools frequently differs from conventional software development; partly because of the nature of research, where the problems being addressed are not always fully understood; partly because the majority of the development is often carried out by scient...

This article presents an overview of selected general delivery options (e.g., videoconferencing, online learning, etc.) and specific software applications for developing and delivering instruction electronically, especially via the World Wide Web. A summary of the relative merits of developing customized software and of buying commercial software sets the stage for a brief review of 15 delivery...
