In this manuscript, it is presented an overview of the Quark-Gluon Plasma properties measured, so far, using hard probes. We will focus on both quantitative and qualitative that have been (or are about to be) making a link between theoretical description experimental results. Throughout highlights some conferences' results be given, but without extensive overview. A personal opinion most import...

With the rapid development of urban transportation, people urgently need high-precision and up-to-date road maps. At the same time, people themselves are an important source of road information for detailed map construction, as they can detect real-world road surfaces with GPS devices in the course of their everyday life. Big trace data makes it possible and provides a great opportunity to extr...

Raster maps contain rich road information, such as the topology and names of roads, but this information is “locked” in images and inaccessible in a geographic information system (GIS). Previous approaches for road extraction from raster maps typically handle this problem as raster-to-vector conversion and hence the extracted road vector data are line segments without the knowledge of road name...

Digital maps have become a part of our everyday lives as they are integrated into a wide range of map-based services like traffic estimation, navigation systems, and many more. These services still have a huge opportunity for enhancements with semantically richer maps to support a large class of new services. In this demo, we demonstrate the MAP++ crowd-sensing system for map semantics identifi...

of a thesis at the University of Miami. Thesis supervised by Associate Professor Dilip Sarkar. No. of pages in text. (37) A GPS system selects routes between two points with minimum physical distance or minimum driving time. Here we address a different type of route selection problem. Given a road map with driving distance and wireless connectivity for each road segment, find a driving route th...

Road selection is a prerequisite to effective road network generalization. This article introduces a novel algorithm for road network selection in map generalization, which take four types of information into consideration: statistical, metric, topological, and thematic at three spatial scales: macro-scale which describes the general pattern of networks,mezzo-scale that handles relationships am...

Traditional terrestrial surveying techniques in mapping urban areas are usually inadequate for many reasons. For example, road networks always suffer large volumes of vehicles and personnel mobilities that affect road map production. Accordingly, both airborne and spaceborne techniques help so much in this issue, although defining and segmenting road regions and edges from these remotely sensed...
