A new approach towards image based virtual 3D city modeling by using close range photogrammetry
No full text3D city model is a digital representation of the Earth's surface and it’s related objects such as building, tree, vegetation, and
some manmade feature belonging to urban area. The demand of 3D city modeling is increasing day to day for various
engineering and non-engineering applications. Generally three main image based approaches are using for virtual 3D city
models generation. In first approach, researchers used Sketch based modeling, second method is Procedural grammar based
modeling and third approach is Close range photogrammetry based modeling. Literature study shows that till date, there is no
complete solution available to create complete 3D city model by using images. These image based methods also have
limitations
This paper gives a new approach towards image based virtual 3D city modeling by using close range photogrammetry. This
approach is divided into three sections. First, data acquisition process, second is 3D data processing, and third is data
combination process. In data acquisition process, a multi-camera setup developed and used for video recording of an area.
Image frames created from video data. Minimum required and suitable video image frame selected for 3D processing. In
second section, based on close range photogrammetric principles and computer vision techniques, 3D model of area created. In
third section, this 3D model exported to adding and merging of other pieces of large area. Scaling and alignment of 3D model
was done. After applying the texturing and rendering on this model, a final photo-realistic textured 3D model created. This 3D
model transferred into walk-through model or in movie form. Most of the processing steps are automatic. So this method is
cost effective and less laborious. Accuracy of this model is good. For this research work, study area is the campus of
department of civil engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee. This campus acts as a prototype for city. Aerial
photography is restricted in many country and high resolution satellite images are costly. In this study, proposed method is
based on only simple video recording of area. Thus this proposed method is suitable for 3D city modeling.
Photo-realistic, scalable, geo-referenced virtual 3D city model is useful for various kinds of applications such as for planning in
navigation, tourism, disasters management, transportations, municipality, urban and environmental managements, real-estate
industry. Thus this study will provide a good roadmap for geomatics community to create photo-realistic virtual 3D city model
by using close range photogrammetry

If you don't draw it you will not see it
No full textThe activity of drawing has characterized the human being since pre-historic times. The ‘language’ of drawing was utilized long before writing was there. It is an expression of human’s unique creativity and an example of human’s near-exclusive usage of tools. In this paper, the broad definition and relevance of drawing will be addressed first. Subsequently, the position of the professional and educational field of design drawing takes will be discussed, and its specific functions within the context of product design. The overall goal of this paper is to summarize the various uses of drawing as a ‘design language’, discuss the educational value and present a preliminary learning model, which describes the sequential and additional steps that need to be taken into account when teaching students how to draw. The variety of functions of the drawing medium are integrated in the so-called design drawing curriculum of the Industrial Design Engineering program at the Delft University of Technology, which will be elaborated on. Subsequently, as an exemplifying and representative approach for suggesting an object’s volume - one of the most important goals of design drawing – a specific method and technique will be described and shown.Human Information Communication Desig
A Hadron Radiation Installation and Verification Method
No full textA hadron radiation installation adapted to subject a target to irradiation by a hadron radiation beam, said installation comprising: - a target support configured to support, preferably immobilize, a target: - a hadron radiation apparatus adapted to emit a hadron radiation beam along a beam axis to irradiate the target supported by the target support, said radiation beam penetrating into the target. The radiation apparatus has a control system at least comprising a beam penetration depth control allowing at least to control and vary the penetration depth of the radiation beam into the target. The installation has a radiation beam range sensor device adapted to determine the penetration depth of said radiation beam into the target, wherein said range sensor device comprises a gamma camera responsive to prompt gamma rays that are emitted while said hadron radiation beam penetrates into the target.RST/Radiation, Science and TechnologyApplied Science
A Roadmap for the Transition from Paper to Digital Records
No full textNowadays there are a lot of innovative activities going on in the youth care sector. One of the innovations is using digital client records instead of paper client records and in the future online access to digital records for clients. Before an organisation can make client records accessible through the internet, they have to professionalize and organize the digital client records and their own organisation. Thus when introducing a new working method in an organisation, organisations have to deal with organisational and technical changes. This thesis describes a roadmap which describes the process for transiting from paper to digital records in a youth care organisation where the organisational and technical issues will be taken into account. The DEMO methodology is used to model the organisation undergoing the change. The organisational model produced using this methodology, gives the management a good overview of how the care taking process takes place at the moment and can be used to improve this process if necessary. This model also helps to identify the roles and responsibilities of the actors involved in the organisation. Furthermore this model gives additional contribution to the concept of the Alares ‘knowledge environment’ which is also used the organisation according to its four components.Software TechnologyElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Flooding and drying in discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of shallow water equations
No full textFlooding and drying in space or space-time discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretizations provides an accurate and efficient numerical scheme. Moreover, the space-time DG method is particularly suitable for moving or deforming meshes. The shallow water equations, which can exhibit flooding and drying due to the movement of water front, are considered and discretized with linear polynomial approximations. In the finite elements connected to the water front, the means (zeroth order term) are used to conserve the mass and momentum, and the slopes (first order term) are used to follow the front movement accurately, which contrasts finite volume schemes where the slopes have to be reconstructed. The front movement can be governed by a front equation in a restricted situation in which the front is single valued in either one of the horizontal coordinate directions. In general, however, the water line can be complicated and the topology of the domain can change as islands become flooded or fall dry. We are developing the following two approaches for this general case. In an Eulerian-Lagrangian space DG method, the free boundary nodes at the water line are allowed to move, while the time step is restricted and the mesh is locally updated to keep the dry and wet mesh around the water line well-behaved. In the space-time DG method a level set is introduced to demarcate the water line while the water depth and level set are matched properly. As a preliminary step, we have obtained numerical results for two exact solutions by prescribing the exact front movement. These are second order accurate in space and time
