It is a very challenging task to develop effective process control methodologies for multi-operational manufacturing processes. Although Statistical Process Control (SPC) has been widely used as the primary method in the control of quality, it mainly serves as a change detection tool rather than a method to identify root causes of process changes. This paper proposes a systematic approach to ov...

This paper is review of many existing video surveillance systems. With the growing quantity of security video, it becomes vital that video surveillance system be able to support security personnel in monitoring and tracking activities. The aim of the surveillance applications is to detect, track and classify targets. In this paper is described object modelling, activity analysis and change dete...

Multiresolution (or multi-scale) techniques make it possible for Web-based GIS applications to access large dataset. The performance of such systems relies on data transmission over network and multiresolution query processing. In the literature the latter has received little research attention so far, and the existing methods are not capable of processing large dataset. In this paper, we aim t...

Population data used in GIS analyses is generally assumed to be homogeneous and planar (i.e. census tracts, townships or prefectures) due to the public unavailability of building population data. However, information on building population is required for micro-spatial analysis for improved disaster management and emergency preparedness, public facility management for urban planning, consumer a...

Patterns have been used in software engineering to enable the reuse of successful solutions for recurrent problems in various steps of the software development process. In the development of geographic information systems (GIS), usually only geographic data are reused. This paper shows the adequacy of deriving as well as applying analysis patterns in the conceptual data modeling process of geog...

This paper explores the use of World Wide Web (WWW, or simply Web) as a means of designing and developing a toolkit, GeoV&A, for interactive 3D visualization and analysis of existing 2D Geographical Information System (GIS) data. The toolkit is mainly composed of two parts. One is a 3D visualization tool and the other is a 3D analysis tool, including profile creation, viewshed analysis, volumet...

The paper proposes an analysis of conventional pattern recognition methods and their use for images’ analysis in GIS applications. The methods like cluster analysis, neural networks, and immunocomputing are studied in detail. Classic methods of raster segmentation, including lines detection, levels’ difference, connecting of contours, threshold processing, and other are considered as applied to...

GIS multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) methods are increasingly being used in landslide susceptibility mapping for the prediction of future hazards, decision making, as well as hazard mitigation plans. However, the uncertainties associated with MCDA techniques are inevitable and model outcomes are prone to multiple types of uncertainty. In this paper, the spatiality explicitly method is emp...

BACKGROUND A Community health assessment (CHA) involves the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in conjunction with other software to analyze health and population data and perform numerical-spatial problem solving. There has been little research on identifying how public health professionals integrate this software during typical problem solving scenarios. A better understanding of thi...

To improve the spatial retrieving by means of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), a distributed GIS-Application has been designed. This application is mainly focused on making spatial analysis, throughout Spatial Analyzer Module (SAM). SAM contains several spatial and mathematical models that have been designed and implemented for detecting landslides and flooding areas. Users can make an a...
