GSI (Geographical Survey Institute) is researching to apply high-resolution satellite imagery to topographical mapping. Previous studies with IKONOS and SPOT5 show its effectiveness. QuickBird has the highest resolution among the commercial satellites. According to prior studies, QuickBird mono image with DEM gave good results for horizontal accuracy and discrimination. We confirmed the accurac...

Airborne Laser Terrain Mapping is a proven technology for topographical surveys with accuracies equivalent to traditional land surveys. It is characterized by an automatic data capture and direct digital data processing. Since about 10 years Airborne Laser Terrain Mapping is an economical alternative to survey large and unaccessible areas, whit a short survey to product realisation time and wit...

The neuronal networks in the mammals cortex are characterized by the coexistence of hierarchy, modularity, short and long range interactions, spatial correlations, and topographical connections. Particularly interesting, the latter type of organization implies special demands on developing systems in order to achieve precise maps preserving spatial adjacencies, even at the expense of isometry. ...

Introduction: Collecting a patient’s pain scores and the analgesic effect achieved during spinal cord stimulation (SCS) trials can be difficult, and no standard exists for doing so. We propose a topographical mapping tool that was derived from a patient’s perspective. Case: A 60-year-old man with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) underwent a SCS trial after conservative treatment failed to relieve h...
