With the advent of remote sensing satellites, a huge repository of remotely sensed images is available. Change detection in remotely sensed images has been an active research area as it helps us understand the transitions that are taking place on the Earth’s surface . This paper discusses the methods and their classifications proposed by various researchers for change detection. Since use of so...

Analysis of the multi–spectral remotely–sensed images of the areas destroyed by an earthquake is proved to be a helpful tool for destruction assessments. The performance of such methods is highly dependant on the preprocess that registers the two shots before and after an event. In this paper, we propose a new fast and reliable change detection method for remotely– sensed images and analyze its...

This paper presents an endeavour of integration of GIS (Geographical Information System) and BIM (Building Information Modelling) for indoor geovisual analytics. The merits of two types of technologies, GIS and BIM are firstly analysed in the context of indoor environment. GIS has well-developed capabilities of spatial analysis such as network analysis, while BIM has the advantages for indoor 3...

According to the research of problem of data conversion from AutoCAD to GIS, this paper analyzes the characteristics of AutoCAD data and GIS data, and finds out the comparison relationship of graphic data conversion from AutoCAD to GIS. With the aid of the component libraries of ArcEngine and ObjectARX, the research implements the graphic data conversion using c # language in .NET environment, ...

This review paper is based on an observation that there exists a ‘generation gap’ between the quantitative and GIS revolutions, even though paradigmatic homology of spatial science is often presumed and cross-fertilization is straightforwardly promised. It is argued that each revolution needs to be edified to establish an integrative, sustainable research framework: SDA needs to become more acc...

Child Health Improvement through Computer Automation (CHICA) is a computer decision support system (CDSS) that interfaces with existing electronic medical record systems (EMRS) and delivers "just-in-time" patient-relevant guidelines to physicians during the clinical encounter and accurately captures structured data from all who interact with the system. "Delivering Geospatial Intelligence to He...

GIS-based Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) provides a rich collection of techniques and procedures for landslide susceptibility mapping. In this study landslide susceptibility was evaluated by applying different analytical GIS techniques based on Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) criteria. The OWA-MCDA is complemented by a Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) and a Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST)...

GIS, with their predominantly visual communication of spatial information, may appear to have little to offer people with visual impairments or blindness. However, because GIS store and manage the spatial relations between objects, alternative, nonvisual ways to communicate this information can be utilized. As such, modified GIS could provide people with visual impairments access to detailed sp...

Present analytical functions and conventional cartographic modeling techniques in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are based on Boolean logic, which implicitly assumes that objects in a spadal database and their attributes can be uniquely defined. The inherent constraint of the classical set theory does not allow for partial set membership conditions and imprecise information in GIS. The in...
