All the stops for this trip are within the Crown Point Reservation State Historic Site. From the west, take NY Route 22 north from Ticonderoga, continuing north through the Village of Crown Point. Turn east approximately five miles north of the Village of Crown Point, following signs to the 'Bridge to Vermont'. From the east, take VT Route 22A north from Fairhaven, or south from Burlington area...

Successful operation of micro aerial vehicles in partially known environments requires globally consistent plans based on incomplete environment models and quick reactions to unknown obstacles by means of real-time planning of collision-free trajectories. In this paper, we propose a complete layered mission and navigation planning system based on coarse prior knowledge and local maps from omnid...

The aerial photos of Aquileia, especially the orthophotos of the last decade, allow for a new and broad vision of the ancient city’s extent. Together with V.Roberto we published some new findings. More recent orthophotos (2010), after data filtering and image processing, allow for newer insights into the roman city map .

In this paper, we present a method for the automated generation of 3D building models from directly observed point clouds generated by LIDAR. First, building regions are detected automatically. After that, roof planes are detected by applying a curvature-based segmentation technique. These roof planes are grouped in order to create polyhedral building models. In this grouping process, the shape...

This paper considers the fundamental design and modeling of the Caltech ducted fan. The Caltech ducted fan is a scaled model of the longitudinal axis of a ight vehicle. The purpose of the ducted fan is the research and development of new nonlinear ight guidance and control techniques for Uninhabited Combat Aerial Vehicles. It is shown that critical design relations must be satis ed in order tha...

Detection of runways in aerial images is part of a project to automatically map complex cultural areas such as a major commercial airport complex. This task is much more difficult than appears at first. Runways are not merely homogeneous strips in the image due to several markings on the surface, changes in the surface material and presence of other objects such as taxiways and aircraft. We use...

This paper aims to develop a simple and robust representation scheme for indexing line patterns. The application vehicle used in this study involves indexing into an aerial image database using a cartographic model. The images contained in the database are of urban and semi-urban areas. The cartographic model represents a road network known to appear in a subset of the images contained within t...
