In this paper, we propose an automatic detection method of the areas damaged by an earthquake. We use aerial images that are taken before and after the earthquake. To detect the damaged areas, we register these two aerial images. It is difficult to register two aerial images by using only the image information, and hence, we use digital map for registering them. First each aerial image is regis...

This study is the first to use an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for mapping moss beds in Antarctica. Mosses can be used as indicators for the regional effects of climate change. Mapping and monitoring their extent and health is therefore important. UAV aerial photography provides ultra-high resolution spatial data for this purpose. The aim of this study is to use Structure from Motion (SfM) tec...

The most widely used method to study the condition of aerial ropes is the magnetic non-destructive method. Localized and distributed flaws in aerial ropes are detected in this method. An attempt has been made in this paper to highlight the findings in case of track ropes in the longest aerial ropeway in India.

An approach that allows a user to assist an automatic system in modeling buildings is described. The approach is designed to be efficient in user time and effort while preserving the quality of the models created. Currently our system is able to handle the rectangular buildings with flat roof or symmetric gabled roof. Models can be created by only one or two clicks in many cases. Efficient edit...
