one of the major strengths of a geographic information system (gis) in geosciences is the ability to integrate and combine multiple layers into mineral potential maps showing areas which are favorable for mineral exploration. these capabilities make gis an extremely useful tool for mineral exploration. several spatial modeling techniques can be employed to produce potential maps. however, these...

The aim of this contribution is to give an overview of recent developments in the use of Geographical Information Systems and Earth Observation which have been applied for improved landslide inventory mapping, landslide susceptibility and hazard assessment, elements at risk mapping, and finally landslide vulnerability and risk assessment. Geo-Information science and earth observation consists o...

The aim of this study is to produce landslide susceptibility mapping by probabilistic likelihood ratio (PLR) and spatial multi-criteria evaluation (SMCE) models based on geographic information system (GIS) in the north of Tehran metropolitan, Iran. The landslide locations in the study area were identified by interpretation of aerial photographs, satellite images, and field surveys. In order to ...

Flood is one of the most devastating natural hazards which lead to the loss of lives, properties and resources. It has therefore become important to create easily read, rapidly accessible flood hazard map, which will prioritize the mitigation effects. This study addresses the need for an efficient and cost-effective methodology for preparing flood hazard maps in Ghana, particularly those region...

The traditional and age-old system of intelligence and criminal record maintenance has failed to live up to the requirements of the existing crime scenario. Manual processes neither provide accurate, reliable and comprehensive data round the clock nor does it help in trend prediction and decision support. It also results in lower productivity and ineffective utilisation of manpower. The solutio...

In this paper a method to create GIS-based accessibility indicators is presented. The method allows to create person-by-person and store-by-store (disaggregate) accessibility indicators but also to derive zonal summary (aggregate) indicators that can be used in more traditional transportation planning applications. These indicators have also been used as explanatory variables in person-based tr...

Indoor wireless localization using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons has attracted considerable attention after the release of the BLE protocol. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that uses the combination of channel-separate polynomial regression model (PRM), channel-separate fingerprinting (FP), outlier detection and extended Kalman filtering (EKF) for smartphone-based indoor localizatio...
