The majority of the world’s population will soon live in urban rather than rural areas. Adding a spatial dimension to population estimates, a new study finds that as much as...
Medical applications such as bedsore analysis often require 3D surface reconstruction of the human body. Major surface reconstruction techniques are based on mechanical digitizers, laser scanners and vision systems, including...
A new laboratory method for verifying the accuracy of distance measuring solves the problem of having to mount reflectors outside the laboratory. The limited space of the laboratory is duplicated...
QuickBird imagery offers the highest spatial resolution so far available from a commercial satellite. Resolutions as low as 60cm, combined with high positioning accuracy, make it well suited for mapping...
The US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and strategic partners, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the private sector, are designing and developing SensorNet,...
