DETECTING INVASION HOTSPOTS OF AILANTHUS ALTISSIMA WITH REMOTE SENSING

GIS applications in archaeology

The diffusion of the use of Geographical Information Systems in archaeology has considerably increased in recent years. This multiplicity of applications is due mainly to the growing interest of archaeologists in modern methodologies for the management of archaeological data, surveyed by topographic, photogrammetric and remote sensing techniques. GIS have become a fundamental tool for managing, sharing, analyzing and visualizing spatially referenced data and they are completely substituting the traditional techniques used by archaeologists, based upon filling out forms, graphics and other paper documents. Besides in the modern global society, dominated by mass media such as Internet, the is…

Dal CAD al GIS: il trasferimento di informazioni cartografiche

L’utilizzo della cartografia nei GIS impone una riflessione sulle caratteristiche che essa deve possedere al fine di consentire le elaborazioni tipiche di questi sistemi e rende necessario verificare quali siano le informazioni che rimangono associate agli oggetti della classe al momento del caricamento dei dati, in formato DXF, all’interno di software GIS. Negli ultimi anni a livello internazionale sono state fissate norme tendenti a individuare linee guida per la definizione della struttura del contenuto semantico della cartografia numerica, delle caratteristiche geometriche e delle relazioni topologiche dell’informazione geografica.

GPS-GIS integrated system for electromagnetic pollution

In these last years employment and spreading of GPS real-time kinematic techniques is greatly improved. Its application field is extended from traditional topographic surveys to environmental applications. In this work a monitoring project of electromagnetic pollution is shown; this project has been carried out in order to realize an infrastructure of measurement, transmissions, elaboration and management of surveyed data. In particular, the results of a research about the realization of a first prototype of advanced system based on the integration of GPS receivers and other sensors are shown. The research has been carried out in collaboration with "Dipartimento di Ricerche Energetiche ed A…

Metodologia GIS per la valutazione ambientale strategica

Il problema di non avere un riferimento normativo nazionale, comporta che le leggi regionali che implicano VAS si differenzino a livello di metodologie, linguaggi e contenuti. La ricerca illustrata di seguito muove proprio da tali premesse: sulla base di un’analisi nazionale è risultato che le regioni Emilia Romagna, Toscana, Lombardia e Piemonte hanno maturato un livello di standardizzazione tale da renderle ottimi esempi in vista di future applicazioni dedicate allo sviluppo del territorio integrate con la valutazione ambientale.

Structure Monitoring with BIM and IoT: The Case Study of a Bridge Beam Model

The diffusion of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a reference methodology, applied to the world of construction, leads to important changes in the design and the management of big constructions and infrastructures. However, although the BIM approach is necessary for managing the entire life cycle of a construction, today, this methodology is still rarely adopted beyond the design phase. This represents a major flaw because the management of every phase of the life cycle of buildings needs accurate preliminary planning. Certainly, one of the most complex and important phases of the life cycle of a construction is the monitoring phase, which represents a fundamental aspect for the main…
