When analyzing and processing videos, it has become increasingly important in many applications to also consider contextual information, in addition to the content. With the ubiquity of sensor-rich smartphones, acquiring a continuous stream of geo-spatial metadata that includes the location and orientation of a camera together with the video frames has become practical. However, no such detaile...

Environmental Information Systems and Services require flexible discovery and chaining of distributed environmental services to support a large number of concurrent decision processes. The ability to cope with geo-spatial features of the environment and to process in real time huge and possibly noisy data streams are two critical factors in supporting such decision processes. Solution to separa...

Developing mobile geo-information systems for sensor web applications involves technologies that can access linked geographical and semantically related Internet information. Additionally, in tomorrow’s Web 4.0 world, it is envisioned that trillions of inexpensive micro-sensors placed throughout the environment will also become available for discovery based on their unique geo-referenced IP add...

estimating the amount of variation due to spatial dependence at different scales provides a basis for designing effective experiments. accurate knowledge of spatial structures is needed to inform silvicultural guidelines and management decisions for long term sustainability of forests. furthermore, geostatistics is a useful tool to describe and draw map the spatial variability and estimation of...

Social media has transformed into a crucial channel for political expression. Twitter, especially, is vital platform used to exchange hate in Pakistan. Political speech affects the public image of politicians, targets their supporters, and hurts sentiments. Hate controversial that promotes violence toward person or group based on specific characteristics. Although studies have been conducted id...
