The monitoring of the territory of Prokuplje Municipality was done based on 1 : 25,000 topographic maps in three different time periods (1969, 1974, and 1984) and land cover map in 2012. Analogous topographic maps done in 1969, 1974, and 1984 were used, while in 2012 the land cover map obtained by using CORINE-like approach was used. Topographic maps are developed by aerial campaign, and today ...

We address the problem of extending topographic maps to color images. A topographic map gives a morphological and a geometrical representation of the information contained in natural images. Two approaches are presented and discussed. The first one is new and consists in defining a total order in IR3 in accordance with the human visual perception of shapes. This allows to define color topograph...

[1] The Great Salt Lake is a terminal lake whose level is determined by the balance between inflows and outflows. We examine the causes for multimodality in the distributions of lake level and hence volume and area that have previously been examined from a system dynamics perspective. We focus on the role of bathymetry in the dynamics of this system and show that some of the modes that are obse...

We call "natural" image any photograph of an outdoor or indoor scene taken by a standard camera. We discuss the physical generation process of natural images as a combination of occlusions, transparencies and contrast changes. This description ts to the phenomeno-logical description of Gaetano Kanizsa according to which visual perception tends to remain stable with respect to these basic operat...

Students have trouble using and interpreting topographic maps. Experienced map-users identify patterns of contour lines representing topographic structures and visualize that information in 3D. Novices struggle with both recognizing 2D patterns and visualizing 3D structures from contour lines. In this study, the Pattern Identification group received instruction focused on identifying contour pa...

In this paper, we present the system developed by GTMUVigo team for the Multimedia Person Discovery in Broadcast TV task at MediaEval 2016. The proposed approach consists in a novel strategy for person discovery which is not based on speaker and face diarisation as in previous works. In this system, the task is approached as a person recognition problem: there is an enrolment stage, where the v...

This paper presents a method for automatic derivation of urban structures types with focus on residential areas. It is based on scanned topographic maps at scale 1:25k and a given urban block geometry from a national topographic database. The procedure consists of five steps: (1) definition of a typology of urban structures, (2) extraction of building footprints, (3) computation of measurements...

Ce papier présente un modèle génératif et son estimation permettant la visualisation de données binaires. Notre approche est basée sur un modèle de mélange de lois de Bernoulli par blocs et les cartes de Kohonen probabilistes. La méthode obtenue se montre à la fois parcimonieuse et pertinente en pratique.

Development of meaningful elearning materials has become critical for many organisations in the corporate space, particularly those whose workforce is spread over huge geographical areas. Perhaps even located in different countries, and/or different campuses. The Next GTM network is providing rural and regional customers with their first-ever taste of broadband connectivity. The Next GTM networ...
