Airborne Lidar and Airborne Hyperspectral Imagery: a Fusion of Two Proven Sensors for Improved Hydrographic Surveying

Airborne hyperspectral imagery from the Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) has been proven to be a valuable tool for coastal measurements and analysis. CASI's spectral resolution of 288 bands for each spatial pixel allows for the extraction of a vast amount of information such as water clarity, water temperature, bottom type, bathymetry, as well as water quality (chlorophyll, dissolv...

Development and Use of Tide Models in Alaska Supporting VDatum and Hydrographic Surveying

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Ocean Service uses observations, hydrodynamic models and interpolation techniques to develop many of its products and services. We examine how two projects, computation of tidal datums for vertical datum transformation and the estimation of tidal characteristics for hydrographic surveys, are being developed in Alaska and how they may be...

Quantum computing for beginners

The paper introduces the basic concepts and principles behind quantum computing and examines in detail Shor’s quantum algorithm for factoring very large numbers. Some basic methodological principles and guidelines for constructing quantum algorithms are stated. The aim is not to provide a formal exposition of quantum computing but to identify its novelty and potential use in tackling NP-hard pr...
