The desire to add useful information to these interfaces has led developers to create custom applications that overlay housing prices, crime rates, bus locations, and other data on top of browsable maps. These applications are possible due to useful APIs that Google Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth publish to overlay location data on maps. We envision a new class of applications that relies on real-time sensor data and its mash-up with the geocentric Web to provide instantaneous environmental visibility and timely decision support.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2fe8f0fa7540b9035b461df07456765d6/flint63}, keywords = {information application spatial paper data windows web network microsoft sensor ieee map processing v0805 soap storage} } @article{HummelYangDuchow07it, title = {Kreuzungsverstehen -- Ein wissensbasierter Ansatz}, author = {Britta Hummel and Zongru Yang and Christian Duchow}, journal = {it -- Information Technology}, number = 1, pages = {5-16}, volume = 49, year = 2007, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1524/itit.2007.49.1.5}, timestamp = {2008.02.20}, issn = {1611-2776}, file = {Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag online:2007/HummelYangDuchow07it.pdf:PDF}, owner = {flint}, abstract = {Existierende Ansätze zur Fahrbahnerkennung arbeiten -- vermutlich prinzipbedingt -- auf jeweils nur kleinen Teilmengen der möglichen Fahrbahnkonfigurationen robust. Ein Schlüssel auf dem Weg zu allgemeingültig arbeitenden Verfahren liegt in der massiven Erhöhung der Menge des im Schätzprozess genutzten Vorwissens. Im Hinblick auf eine effiziente, nachvollzieh- und erweiterbare Beschreibung ist eine explizite Repräsentation solchen Wissens anzustreben. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird eine konzeptuelle und eine geometrische Wissensrepräsentationen für den Diskursbereich Straßen und Kreuzungen vorgestellt. Deren Parameter werden gemeinsam mittels eines Multihypothesen-Ansatzes geschätzt, dessen Eingangsdaten handelsübliche digitale Karten sowie verschiedene videobasierte Objektdetektoren sind. Zur Verifikation der Hypothesen werden die Vorzugsrichtungen der lokalen Textur im Bereich der erwarteten Fahrspurberandungen ausgewertet. Dabei kann gleichzeitig die Messunsicherheit der zur Bildprojektion genutzten Schätzung der Lage des Kamerakoordinatensystems reduziert werden. Junction Understanding---A Knowledge Based Approach: The road recognition problem has been solved robustly only for small, often simplified subsets of possible road configurations. A massive augmentation of the amount of used prior knowledge could pave the way towards generally valid estimators. An explicit representation of such knowledge will additionally lead to an efficient, understandable and therefore extendible system. We present a conceptual and a geometrical knowledge representation for the Roads&Junctions domain of discourse. Its parameters are estimated using a multi hypotheses approach. A commercially available digital map and a set of video based object detectors serve as input data. The resulting hypotheses are verified by evaluating the preferred orientations of local texture around the expected position of the lane dividers. The estimate of the camera coordinate system's pose, which is used for image projection, is updated simultaneously.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/26f42facd1a224bfcfa7c21164e5f61aa/flint63}, keywords = {knowledge location paper recognition data image analysis sensor ai traffic map processing v0805 video} } @article{ChitumallaHarrisEtAl08IEEEinternet, title = {Emergency Response Applications: Dynamic Plume Modeling and Real-Time Routing}, author = {Pavan Kumar Chitumalla and Douglas Harris and Bhavani Thuraisingham and Latifur Khan}, editor = {Douglas Harris}, journal = {Internet Computing}, number = 1, pages = {38-44}, volume = 12, year = 2008, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/MIC.2008.11}, timestamp = {2008.02.04}, issn = {1089-7801}, file = {IEEE Digital Library:2008/ChitumallaHarrisEtAl08IEEEinternet.pdf:PDF}, owner = {flint}, abstract = {In a crisis situation, toxic gas can be released into the air, blocking routes for emergency responders.

The authors also explored options for displaying this dynamic plume on a geographic map.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2a75d8c9b13df24f5a951c658149b3457/flint63}, keywords = {information ieee spatial paper map crisis v0805 management} }
