java is an object-oriented program that has abundant open-source libraries for application development and 3d model rendering. spatial database is the database that can efficiently store and manage geographic information data though various spatial data management techniques. this paper explores the rationale of coupling java with spatial database to develop an effective platform for future bui...

Database design is as much an art as it is a science. In order for students to become skilled enough to produce an effective design, they will need to achieve the synthesis level of Bloom's taxonomy. Given the effort involved in reaching that level, a constructivist approach must be used to teach the course. However, even using a project based approach may not be sufficient. Based on learning s...

This paper presents a novel pipeline for development of an efficient set of tools for extracting information from the video of a structure, captured by an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) to produce as-built documentation to aid inspection of large multi-storied building during construction. Our system uses the output from a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping system and a 3D CAD model of the s...
