Structural Health Monitoring of a Foot Bridge in Virtual Reality Environment [PDF]
, 2021 Ageing civil infrastructure systems require imminent attention before any failure mechanism becomes critical. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is employed to track inputs and/or responses of structural systems for decision support. Inspections and structural health monitoring require field visits, and subsequently expert assessment of critical ...

An affordable tool based on a pedestrian-vehicle collision model to support the fieldwork and reconstruction [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 A Free access tool based on a pedestrian-vehicle collision model is presented. The model permitted the qualitative and quantitative description of the events whole dynamic by segments called pre-collision, collision, and post collision. Furthermore, it enabled the determination of the magnitude of the vehicles initial speed before the collision with a ...

"From What I see, this makes sense": Seeing meaning in algorithmic results [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this workshop paper, we use an empirical example from our ongoing fieldwork, to showcase the complexity and situatedness of the process of making sense of algorithmic results; i.e. how to evaluate, validate, and contextualize algorithmic outputs. So far, in our research work, we have focused on such sense-making processes in data analytic learning ...

Aeolian dune modelling from airborne LiDAR, terrestrial LiDAR and Structure from Motion-Multi View Stereo [PDF]
Computers & Geosciences. 143:104569 (2020), 2019 A DEM of a dunefield in Southern Brazil was generated from 810 photos captured by an RPA in February 2019. Altimetric accuracy of the SfM-MVS DEM was validated by comparison with Terrestrial LiDAR (TLS) data collected during the same fieldwork campaign of the RPA flights.

Making Space for Stories: Ambiguity in the Design of Personal Communication Systems [PDF]
Proc. ACM SIGCHI Conf. on Human Factors in Computing Systems,
Portland, OR, Apr. 2005, 181-190. ACM Press., 2005 Pervasive personal communication technologies offer the potential for important social benefits for individual users, but also the potential for significant social difficulties and costs. In research on face-to-face social interaction, ambiguity is often identified as an important resource for resolving social difficulties.

Terrains/Théories, 2016 In this interview of April 2016, the American anthropologist George Marcus comes back on his academic trajectory in order to enlighten the genesis of the 1995 article on multi-sited ethnography. This particular approach is to be understood less as a tool to analyse globalization per se than as a critical perspective finding its rationale within the ...

A Vehicle for Research: Using Street Sweepers to Explore the Landscape of Environmental Community Action [PDF]
Proc. ACM SIGCHI Conf. on Human Factors in Computing Systems,
Boston, MA, Apr. 2009, 375-384. ACM Press, 2009 Researchers are developing mobile sensing platforms to facilitate public awareness of environmental conditions. However, turning such awareness into practical community action and political change requires more than just collecting and presenting data.
