Accurate Indoor 3D models could be a valuable asset for many applications such as building reconstruction, rescue operations, and Building Information Management (BIM). Through image processing, 3D models can be generated from high quality images captured by off-the-shelf digital cameras. To acquire redundant data and produce real scale models, a multi-camera system can be used. This paper pres...

Strongly connected to the change in key media from the “Gutenberg-Galaxy” to the “Internet-Galaxy” is also the hope, to break new ground and more successful ways within competence building in the area of spatial orientation. This paper deals with two questions: Which influence on competence building in the area of spatial orientation does the different identification and collecting possibilitie...

Following field-based research and testing of residential buildings in Tibetan areas western Sichuan, this study studied the interactions between dynamic effects geographic meteorological elements. By quantifying combined influence geographical elements on building orientation, concept total orientation-based mean temperature difference was introduced, a method for obtaining optimum orientation...

Internal sugar cross-links were introduced for the first time into oligonucleotides with parallel chain orientation by click ligation. For this, the 2'- or 3'-position of the isoguanosine ribose moiety was functionalized with clickable propargyl residues, and the synthesis of propargylated cytosine building blocks was significantly improved. Phosphoramidites were prepared and employed in solid-...

Aim of the present study was to identify an appropriate hypertext structure and navigation aids that enhance the comprehensibility of hypertext and support readers in building up a mental representation of the text. It is assumed that hypertext readers construct a content representation for the comprehension of the hypertext and a text structure representation for navigation within the hypertex...

This paper describes the potential of Radarsat-1 fine beam intensity SAR images in urban mapping and change detection. The main objective was to determine the possibility of building detection e.g. as a function of height, orientation, roof material and roof type in the Helsinki metropolitan region. Altogether 22235 buildings were used to estimate the effect of height, and then 14270 buildings ...

This article presents a modern epistemological validation of the process of agent oriented software development. Agent orientation has been widely presented in recent years as a novel modeling, design and programming paradigm for building systems using features such as openness, dynamics, sociality and intentionality. These will be put into perspective through a Lakatosian epistemological appro...

We investigate the suitability of different local feature detectors for the task of automatic image orientation under different scene texturings. Building on an existing system for image orientation, we vary the applied operators while keeping the strategy fixed, and evaluate the results. An emphasis is put on the effect of combining detectors for calibrating difficult datasets. Besides some of...

Advances in sensor technology and computing capabilities and modalities are revolutionizing close-range image collection and analysis for geospatial applications. These advances create the need for new ways of handling and processing video datasets at quasi real time rates. In this paper we present an innovative two step orientation technique for ground level motion imagery using a 3 dimensiona...

Wind tunnel tests are carried out for the Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Research Council (CAARC) high-rise building with a scale of 1:400 in exposure categories D. The distribution law extreme pressure coefficients under different conditions is studied. Probability fitting performed on measured area-averaged coefficients. general value (GEV) preferred probability From comparison between an...
