Abstract. The Regional Topographic Geodatabase (DBTR) was officially defined in 2005 as the multi-scale (1:1,000 – 1:2,000 1:5,000 1:10,000) cartographic reference for urban and regional planning Lombardy Region. DBTR had been previously introduced at national level to take over traditional numerical topographic maps adopted planning, with aim provide a base map be implemented either (Regional ...

In traditional image production workflows, imagery is processed in multiple steps, with the imagery being sampled multiple times, and being read and written to disk multiple times. This reduces image quality and production efficiency. The linear workflows also are susceptible to bottlenecks when a single parameter in the workflow is not available or needs to be changed. ArcGIS Image server enab...

Abstract. Inspection of container cranes is an important task to maintain the all-day operation in harbours. In practice, manually carrying out inspection process not best solution due complexity, time consumption, and cost. The manual often performed by specialists who capture images areas interest then check analyse these visually. Once a critical area spotted, industrial climbers are hired p...

Ericsson uses GIS as the core component integrating Business Consulting, Cellular, Transmission, and Datacom Planning departments. The GIS infrastructure is composed of servers and desktop software, integrating the other systems used by Ericsson, such as TEMS and VPI. The result is an ArcSDE/ArcIMS server that stores and shares all the geodatabase with Ericsson users, clients and partners in Br...

We describe a location-aware system for the visual and auditory representation of georeferenced datasets. The portable system is designed to be deployed in vehicles but also can be used for stationary simulations. The system is composed of four major elements: a geodatabase, a data visualization engine, a sonification engine, and a periscope-like display/sensing/interface device. As users trave...

This paper presents general solution patterns and a cloud application for the integration of spatial data processing in proven ICT architectures. First, four examples are presented to demonstrate, how "Smart City Management" works in practice and what role geographic information plays. The solution patterns thus determined are presented not only theoretically, but also in form of a cloud applic...

A water budget is important for environmental models such as a fire potential model. For the eastern United States, water budget indices derived from the cumulative interplay of precipitation and evaporation characterizes moisture conditions better than the Keech-Byram drought index. Because there are various sources of precipitation and evaporation data, it is difficult to manage those data co...

Describing the quality of digital geodata in a geodatabase is required for many applications. We present our developments for automated quality control of the German topographic vector data set ATKIS using images. The automation comprises automatic cartographic feature extraction and comparison with ATKIS data, which both are triggered by additional knowledge derived from the existing scene des...
