Use a Map-ematical Framework for GIS Modeling — describes a conceptual structure for map analysis operations and GIS modeling Getting the Numbers Right — describes an alternative framework based on how the map values are retrieved to classify analytical operations. Options Seem Endless When Reclassifying Maps — discusses the basic reclassifying map operations Overlay Operations Feature a Variet...

This paper presents a novel and fully automatic technique to estimate depth information from a single input image. The proposed method is based on a new image classification technique able to classify digital images (also in Bayer pattern format) as indoor, outdoor with geometric elements or outdoor without geometric elements. Using the information collected in the classification step a suitabl...

A method of efficiently implementing a continuous MAP decoding algorithm is presented. A sliding window technique is used to reduce the block size at the expense of extra computations. The smaller block size results in a large reduction in memory storage requirements, reduced delay, and the ability to implement a continuous MAP decoder. A technique for reducing the synchronisation time for a tu...

Estimating the geographical positions of sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks is a primary objective to be achieved at lower cost. For this, RSSI based techniques are always preferred over other techniques, as every sensor node has inbuilt tendency of determining strength of received signal and quality of communication link. In this paper a technique based on RSSI and LQI along with maximum...

This paper describes a technique to compare large text sources using word vector representations (word2vec) and dimensionality reduction (tSNE) and how it can be implemented using Python. The technique provides a bird’s-eye view of text sources, e.g. text summaries and their source material, and enables users to explore text sources like a geographical map. Word vector representations capture m...

the undesirable effects and consequences of occupational fatal accidents have placed a great emphasis on applying preventive measures. this study was aimed to analyze and specify the latent causes of occupational fatal accidents in exir chemical plant, urmia - iran in 2008-2009. the analytical tripod-beta method was used. a geographic information system (gis) was then used to determine a list o...

This paper presents a fast technique for map generation of document collections that, besides being able to group (and separate) documents by their contents, runs at very manageable computational costs, generating maps of pre-processed text in a matter of seconds. Based on multi-dimensional projection techniques and an algorithm for projection improvement, it results in a surface map that allow...

The paper is focused on Digital Elevation Model (DEM) reconstruction from differential interferometry synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR). In doing so, conventional DInSAR procedures are implemented to three repeat passes of RADARSAT-1 SAR fine mode data (F1). Further, the multichannel MAP height estimator is implemented with phase unwrapping technique. Consequently, the multichannel MAP height e...

In this paper, a new technique to generate high resolution depth image is proposed. First, a low resolution depth map is obtained by the time-of-flight depth camera. Then a high resolution depth map for a given view is generated by depth warping followed by depth value refinement taking into account the color information at the given view. The edge in the final depth map is then processed by bi...

To estimate the hypertrophic sites of the left ventricle by body surface mapping (MAP), we performed MAP in 55 patients with hypertension and compared the MAP data with echocardiographic findings. MAP data were analyzed using the departure map technique reported by Flowers et al. The mean and standard deviation (SD) of the normal control were obtained from 40 normal volunteers. We constructed d...
