Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms are nowadays a valuable source of data for inspection, surveillance, mapping and 3D modeling issues. As UAVs can be considered as a lowcost alternative to the classical manned aerial photogrammetry, new applications in the shortand close-range domain are introduced. Rotary or fixed wing UAVs, capable of performing the photogrammetric data acquisition with...

The Rochem Separation Systems, Inc. (Rochem) Disc TubeTM Module (DTM) technology is an innovative membrane separation process. It is designed to treat liquid waste that is higher in dissolved solids content, turbidity, and contaminant levels than waste treated by conventional membrane separation processes. According to the technology developer, Rochem, the innovative DTM design reduces the pote...

Conventional image matching techniques for DTM determination are unable overcome the disparity discontinuities in the stereo model caused by man-made structures and only supply a Digital Surface Model (DSM). In order to produce a DTM of the bare earth, the characteristics of the terrain cover, such as buildings and trees must to be determined to reduce the elevations derived from image matching...

OBJECTIVE Aged garlic extract (AGE) is associated with a significant decrease in atherosclerotic plaque progression and endothelial function improvement. Similarly, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has significant beneficial effects on endothelial function. A stressful lifestyle is a well-known risk factor for the presence and progression of atherosclerosis. This study investigated the effect of AGE plus C...

It is anticipated that in the future, increasing power densities and resultant temperatures will often be the dominant limit to processor performance and a significant component of cost. Dynamic thermal management (DTM) techniques address this issue by allowing the thermal solution to be designed for a temperature less than the peak. Evaluating DTM and other processor thermal properties require...

Surface models provide key knowledge of the 3-d structure of forests. Aerial stereo imagery acquired during routine mapping campaigns covering the whole of Switzerland (41,285 km2), offers a potential data source to calculate digital surface models (DSMs). We present an automated workflow to generate a nationwide DSM with a resolution of 1 × 1 m based on photogrammetric image matching. A canopy...

In the paper is described the process of creating digital terrain models (DTM) using different interpolation methods. The analyses show the accuracy of the DTM obtained from topographic maps at different scales and using different interpolation methods. The quality and accuracy of DTM depends on the complexity of the terrain, data sources, and methods of height interpolation. The basic idea is ...

DTM is a fiber-optic network, based on bandwidth reservation and with support for dynamic reallocation of bandwidth. It is designed for real-time multimedia applications and for high-speed computer communication. DTM uses a novel medium-access technique and provides a multicast connection-oriented service. Several DTM networks can be connected into one large network. A prototype implementation ...

The goal of the Bamiyan project of the Institute of Geodesy and Photogrammetry, ETH Zurich, started in July 2001, is the terrain modeling of the area, the 3D reconstruction of the two lost Buddha statues in Bamiyan as well the actual empty niches and the documentation of the UNESCO cultural heritage site with a topographic and tourist information system. Different types of images, with differen...
