Mobile augmented reality system is the next generation technology to visualise 3D real world intelligently. The technology is expanding at a fast pace to upgrade the status of a smart phone to an intelligent device. The research problem identified and presented in the current work is to view actual dimensions of various objects that are captured by a smart phone in real time. The methodology pr...

Conducting archaeological site surveys is time consuming, and large sites may have many small features or structures that are difficult to locate interpret. Vegetation cover dense forest hide structures, like cairns, while at the same can cause problems for LiDAR tools. In this case study, drone-based ALS (airborne laser scanning) was tested as an survey tool. The research complex located parti...

A suite of recently developed statistical methods to estimate the abundance and density unmarked animals from camera traps require accurate estimates area sampled by each camera. Although viewshed is fundamental achieving estimates, there are no established guidelines for collecting this information in field. Furthermore, while complexities detection process motion sensor photography generally ...

Infiltration-route analysis is a military application of geospatial information system (GIS) technology. In order to find susceptible routes, optimal-path-searching algorithms are applied to minimize the cost function, which is the summed result of detection probability. The cost function was determined according to the thermal observation device (TOD) detection probability, the viewshed analys...

Abstract Visual conditions around Palaeolithic sites determine how the landscape was perceived by prehistoric hunter-gatherers. By placing site in different landscapes, visual foci were encoded locational characteristics of places. For Early Ahmarian Levant, it can be shown that differ significantly with combination large ungulate prey exploited at respective location. A Higuchi viewshed approa...

Viewshed and line-of-sight are spatial analysis functions used in applications ranging from urban design to archaeology to hydrology. Vegetation data, a difficult variable to effectively emulate in computer models, is typically omitted from visibility calculations or unrealistically simulated. In visibility analyzes performed on a small scale, where calculation distances are a few hundred meter...

Finding the “right” sites for developing renewable energy systems (RES) is one of major challenges in planning strategies transitions. The visibility aspects such infrastructure are important factors that explain local opposition. Classical and viewshed analyses RES disregard people’s perceptions estimations new infrastructure. To address this void, we demonstrate an approach combines rated vis...

Globally, geodiversity and the associated ecosystem services it provides, are both under threat from anthropogenic pressures environmental changes. The UNESCO Global Geoparks Programme was established to create protected areas that not only preserve but enhance human wellbeing cultural heritage. Understanding role plays in providing such is necessary for holistic conservation priorities ensure ...
