The sensing systems that monitor physical environments rely on communication infrastructures (wired or wireless) to collect data from the sensors embedded in the environment. Howe...
Recording the location of people using location-acquisition technologies, such as GPS, allows generating life patterns, which associate people to places they frequently visit. Con...
Traffic information systems based on mobile, in-car sensor technology are a challenge for data management systems as a huge amount of data has to be processed in real-time. Data m...
We consider the problem of automatically cleaning massive sonar data point clouds, that is, the problem of automatically removing noisy points that for example appear as a result ...
Spatial Alarms are reminders for mobile users upon their arrival of certain spatial location of interest. Spatial alarm processing requires meeting two demanding objectives: high ...
Map matching is a fundamental operation in many applications such as traffic analysis and location-aware services, the killer apps for ubiquitous computing. In the past, several m...
Instead of traditional ways of creating road maps, an attractive alternative is to create a map based on GPS traces of regular drivers. One important aspect of this approach is to...
With modern LiDAR technology the amount of topographic data, in the form of massive point clouds, has increased dramatically. One of the most fundamental GIS tasks is to construct...
Object representation and reasoning in vector based geographic information systems (GIS) is based on Euclidean geometry. Euclidean geometry is built upon Euclid's first postu...
