UAV-based hyperspectral monitoring of small freshwater area

2014

Recent development in compact, lightweight hyperspectral imagers have enabled UAV-based remote sensing with reasonable costs. We used small hyperspectral imager based on Fabry-Perot interferometer for monitoring small freshwater area in southern Finland. In this study we shortly describe the utilized technology and the field studies performed. We explain processing pipeline for gathered spectral data and introduce target detection-based algorithm for estimating levels of algae, aquatic chlorophyll and turbidity in freshwater. Certain challenges we faced are pointed out.

Methods for estimating forest stem volumes by tree species using digital surface model and CIR images taken from light UAS

2012

In this paper we consider methods for estimating forest tree stem volumes by species using images taken from light unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Instead of using LiDAR and additional multiband imagery a color infrared camera mounted to a light UAS is used to acquire both imagery and the DSM of target area. The goal of this study is to accurately estimate tree stem volumes in three classes. The status of the ongoing work is described and an initial method for delineating and classifying treetops is presented.

Cultural Politics of Love and Provision among Poor Youth in Urban Tanzania

2015

This article examines how urban youth in the poorest neighbourhoods of Dar es Salaam negotiate the terms of transactional intimacy, that is, heterosexual relations in which men are expected to provide for women materially. Using the concept of ‘affect’, I argue that this negotiation involves different levels of male providership, as well as moral values attached to notions of ‘true love’ and the Swahili concept of tamaa. Poor men and women view their agency differently within transactional intimacy, with women describing themselves as exploited by men who do not fulfil their end of the transactional bargain, and poor men portraying themselves as deeply disempowered in comparison to wealthie…

International audience; Une analyse technologique des céramiques est ici réalisée dans une perspective anthropologique à partir du matériel issu de deux silos d’habitats alsaciens du Bronze final IIIa : le silo 22 de Colmar « Terrasses du Diaconat » et le silo 25 de « Meistratzheim « Station d’épuration intercommunale ». Les macrotraces laissées sur les récipients par les opérations de fabrication informent sur les réseaux de producteurs dans le contexte d’expansion du style Rhin-Suisse-France Orientale.

Building and Testing a Comparative Interface on Northwest European Historical Parliamentary Debates : Relative Term Frequency Analysis of British Rep…

2022

Tensions between the people and parliament over representation are a normal feature of representative democracies. In this paper, we demonstrate how digital humanities analysis tools help in answering questions about the timing of debates on popular representation, tensions over its realization, and representatives’ changing perceptions on their parliamentary role. Our long-term approach to the conceptual history of political representation is based on the analysis of digitized parliamentary debates as nexuses of multi-sited political discourse. We combine computer-assisted distant and context-sensitive close reading to consider diachronic trends and synchronic political struggles surroundi…

2012

Im Rahmen dieser Doktorarbeit wird das hallstattzeitliche Keramikgeschirr von der Mitte des VI. bis zum Ende des V. Jahrhunderts im östlichen Zentralfrankreich untersucht (Île-de-France, südliche Champagne, nördliche Bourgogne).Da Keramikbeigaben aus Gräbern weitgehend fehlen, konzentriert sich unsere Untersuchung auf Fundzusammenhänge aus Siedlungen. Dank des konsequenten Zugriffs der Präventivarchäologie hat sich in diesem Bereich in den letzten 30 Jahren die Dokumentation stark vermehrt. In unserer Arbeit wird die Keramik vom Mont Lassois (Vix, dép. Côte-d’Or) vorgelegt ; ihr steht die Siedlungskeramik der im Untersuchungsgebiet ausgewählten Fundstellen gegenüber. Innerhalb eines vorab e…

Le territoire de la résidence princière de Vix (Côte-d'Or, France): une approche géomorphologique

2016

The Territory of the Princely Residence of Vix (Côte-d'Or, France): a Geomorphological Approach In the northwestern area of the Alps, the end of the Hallstatt period was characterized by an uncommon social phenomenon illustrated by rich tombs near fortified sites on top of hills, and by an expansion of the territory. Archaeologists represent these territories in the shape of a circle with a radius of 20-25 km. Yet this model needed to be refined by taking into account the sites' natural environment. A test has been administered using the data of the princely residence of Vix.

Peuplement et territoire dans la longue durée : retour sur 25 ans d'expérience

2012

Like geographers, who focus on factors of attractionto understand where humans settled and how settlements are spread over space, archaeologists aim to characterize the various types of settlements and settlement patternsto reconstruct settlement choices made by past communities. This long-standing project is carried out by a team using a quantitative and spatial approach.
