this ethnography is a dialogic ethnography between field and two researchers. dialogic ethnography or dialogic anthropology was a result of textual revolution in discipline. textual or interpretive anthropology has been definition of culture as text founded in 1970s and 1980s. geertzian textual revolution considered and interpreted events and actions as texts. marcus, clifford, rabinow, crapanz...

The 3D model reconstruction of buildings from uncalibrated photographs allows new useful Computer Graphics and Computer Vision applications. In this paper we survey some solutions proposed in literature and in commerce. The common and different methodology are reported and described. Finally we try to address the 3D reconstruction problem of architectural scenes presenting our solution: BolBol....

Animal movement patterns in space and time are a central aspect of animal ecology. Remotely-sensed environmental indices can play a key role in understanding movement patterns by providing contiguous, relatively fine-scale data that link animal movements to their environment. Still, implementation of newly available remotely-sensed data is often delayed in studies of animal movement, calling fo...

In this work we address the problem of manufacturing machine parts from sensed data. Constructing geometric models for objects from sensed data is the intermediate step in a reverse engineering manufacturing system. Sensors are usually inaccurate, providing uncertain sensed information. We construct geometric entities with uncertainty models from noisy measurements for the objects under conside...

M ultimedia computing, which ultimately aims to deliver multimedia content to users according to their information needs (intents), can be decomposed into various stages, such as multimedia compression (for storage), multimedia communication (for delivery), and multimedia content analysis (for intelligence). The first two stages are comparatively well studied, while multimedia analysis started ...

geothermal energy serves as a renewable and clean energy. thanks to its great advantages such as relatively harmless, low costs and environmental friendly, it may be a good substitute for fossil fuels. in the present study, a geothermal survey is conducted in an area prone geothermal ferdows of south khorasan province in eastern iran using etm+ data landsat 7 geo-referenced to topography map in...
