In the graphical representation of ontologies, in particular for part_whole relationships, it is customary to use graph theory as the representational background. We claim here that the standard graph-based approach has a number of limitations, and because of that we propose a better way to represent part_whole structures for ontologies developed in accordance with the Basic Formal Ontology, on...

Visual pollution is a growing problem in urban areas. It important for environmental management to identify, formalize, measure and evaluate visual pollution. This paper presents study on the development of an automated system classification using street images taken from moving vehicle. The proposed uses convolutional neural networks classify different types pollutants such as graffiti, faded ...

In recent years, frequent occurrences of significant air pollution events in China have routinely caused panic and are a major topic of discussion by the public and air pollution experts in government and academia. Therefore, this study proposed an efficient visualization method to represent directly, quickly, and clearly the spatio-temporal information contained in air pollution data. Data qua...

In developing countries, it is common to site (or locate) industries without environmental impact assessment. In this study the impacts of two food processing industries on land use and land capability, noise and vibration, environmentally sensitive areas and visual quality as environmental elements were investigated. The research method adopted was the investigative survey research approach (I...

The research deals with the problem of visual pollution, as it is one most important urban problems that cities suffer from. concept pollution has recently emerged to describe deformation and degradation environment. Visual defined any component surrounding environment inconsistent not homogeneous its natural human components. volume doubled due non-compliance laws, regulations controls set by ...
