In this paper, we will present a highly automated method of extracting 3D building information. Our approach set out to locate the vertices of building roof. For a start, we will limit our development to high rise buildings with approximately flat rooftop. If the main corners and intermediate vertices can be found, the 3D building model can be constructed. Our study is applying stereo pair sate...

Historically, asbestos-containing roof cements and coatings were widely used for patching and repairing leaks. Although fiber releases from these materials when newly applied have been studied, there are virtually no useful data on airborne asbestos fiber concentrations associated with the repair or removal of weathered roof coatings and cements, as most studies involve complete tear-out of old...

We performed scanning electron microscopy of an inverted blister roof in a case of pemphigus foliaceus. The loss of intercellular adherence could be easily seen with low magnification. The acantholytic keratinocytes displayed an irregular and sometimes polygonal contour. Round cells, typically seen in light microscopy, were also observed. The examination of a blister roof allows ultrastructural...

We present a case of rare orbital roof haemangioma infiltrating the medial and lateral walls of the orbit, zygomatic bone and lesser and greater wings of the sphenoid. The tumour was totally excised by the frontolateral approach, followed by craniofacial and orbital roof reconstruction.

Dengue disease incidence is related with the construction of a house roof, which is an Aedes mosquito habitat. This study was conducted to classify pitch roof (PR) and flat roof (FR) surfaces using pan-sharpened Worldview 2 to identify dengue disease patterns (DDPs) and their association with DDP. A Supervised Minimum Distance classifier was applied to 653 training data from image object segmen...

Using airborne laser scanner data, buildings can be detected automatically, and their roof shapes can be reconstructed. The success rate of building detection and the level of detail of the resulting building models depend on the resolution of the laser scanner data, which is still lower than the resolution of aerial imagery. Building extraction from aerial images alone is difficult because of ...

Cell cycle parameters were analysed in mesenchyme of the maxillary process and the roof of the stomodeum in the chick embryo from stages 19 through 28. The generation times at stages 24-26 were determined by pulse labelling of embryos with [3H] thymidine, followed by labelled mitosis counts and construction and analysis of percent-labelled mitosis curves employing computer-assisted curve-fittin...

BACKGROUND The expansion of urban slums is a key challenge for public and social policy in the 21st century. The heterogeneous and dynamic nature of slum communities limits the use of rigid slum definitions. A systematic and flexible approach to characterize, delineate and model urban slum structure at an operational resolution is essential to plan, deploy, and monitor interventions at the loca...

We propose a path loss model with an over-roof propagation path between mobile terminals in residential areas. A double knife-edge diffraction model shows that over-roof propagation loss can be accurately estimated. Measurement results confirm the estimation accuracy of the new model.
