One of the important stages in the implementation of a GIS is referred to preparation of data to be entered to the system. To produce spatial data for entering to GIS using photogrammetric techniques, common and current method is to utilize photogrammetric and GIS systems individually (off-line procedure). Preparing spatial data on the basis of the mentioned method has a lot of problems, such a...

The newest version of the ITC GIS and Remote Sensing software ILWIS offers an integrated set of modules to perform geostatistics. Its functionality for image processing, geographic analysis and digital mapping combined with extensive geostatistical tools make it a modern product for education and research in the field of G.I.S. It incorporates spatial correlation tools like semi-and cross vario...

Abstract Background The main obstacle for local and daily or weekly time-series mapping using very high-resolution satellite imagery is the high price availability of data. These constraints are currently obtaining solutions in line with development improved UAV drone technology a wider range imaging sensors that can be used. Findings Research conducted Inspire 2 quadcopter drones RGB cameras, ...

This paper discusses the integration of a geographic information system (GIS) and moving objects in surveillance videos (“moving objects” hereinafter) by using motion detection, spatial mapping, and fusion representation techniques. This integration aims to overcome the limitations of conventional video surveillance systems, such as low efficiency in video searching, redundancy in video data tr...

The WHO's well known definition of health stressed the indivisibility of human well-being, physical and otherwise, by stating that health is "not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". The spiritual dimension of health is well covered in the medical literature. Different locations on Earth are associated with different interrelated profiles: physical, biological, environmental, socio-econ...

Over the past few decades GIS and statistical spatial data analysis tools have been successfully applied in the fields of meteorology, environmental monitoring, ecological analysis, and mineral exploration (to name but a few). While these synergistic tools operate on spatial data, as yet they have not been incorporated into a single 'user-friendly' software environment. For this reason statisti...
