  1. 1. Potential and Limitations of the Sketch Map Tool in the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Kimon Letzner; [2024]
    Keywords : Disaster risk reduction; Participatory action research; Community risk mapping; International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement; Colombia; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In disaster risk management, participatory mapping (PM) closes spatial data gaps in communities by integrating local risk knowledge. The thesis examined the potential and limitations of the Sketch Map Tool (SMT) as a PM tool for community-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) through an International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement case study.

  3. 2. Remote Sensing of Cryospheric Surfaces : Small Scale Surface Roughness Signatures in Satellite Altimetry Data

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Petter Ideström; [2023]
    Keywords : Remote sensing; Altimetry; Arctic; Cryosphere; ICESat-2; Cryosat-2; Svalbard;

    Abstract : The Arctic cryosphere is experiencing a higher rate of warming compared to the rest of the world due to Arctic amplification. As glacier elevation change provide reliable evidence of climate change it is routinely measured by satellite altimeters. READ MORE

  4. 3. Developing a Geographical Information System for a water and sewer network, for monitoring, identification and leak repair - Case study: Municipal Water Company of Naoussa, Greece

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Konstantinos Sourlamtas; [2023]
    Keywords : Water and sewer network; GIS; UAV; surveying; photogrammetry; orthophoto; geodatabase; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the design and implementation of a Geographic Information System (GIS) for the Naoussa Municipality Water and Sewer Company for better water utility management. The methodology contained field data collection like the valves, sewer manholes, hydrometers, and hydrants in two ways, UAV photogrammetry, and traditional surveying, the georeferencing process, photogrammetric processing, the digitization of old paper maps and the geodatabase design.

  5. 4. Robotics Approach in Mobile Laser Scanning : Generation of Georeferenced Point-based Forest Models

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Tamas Faitli; [2023]
    Keywords : mobile laser scanning; rotating lidar; slam; real-time positioning; georeferencing; state estimation; lidar odometry; point-based forest model; forest harvester; forestry; mobil laserskanning; roterande lidar; slam; realtidspositionering; georeferens; tillståndsuppskattning; lidarodometri; punktbaserad skogsmodell; skogsskördare; skogsbruk;

    Abstract : A mobile laser scanning (MLS) system equipped with a lidar, inertial navigation system and satellite positioning can be used to reconstruct georeferenced point-based models of the surveyed environments. Ideal reconstruction requires accurate trajectories that are challenging to obtain in forests. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evaluating an Automated Method for Digitizing Detailed Plans : Using a Swedish Municipality as Test Case

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Linnea Bergmark; [2022]
    Keywords : GIS; digitization; maps; georeferencing; vectorization; detailed plans; automated digitization; GIS; digitalisering; kartor; georeferering; vektorisering; detaljplaner; automatiserad digitalisering;

    Abstract : Frågan om digitala detaljplaner är mer relevant än någonsin i Sverige efter nya direktiv från svenska myndigheter som ålägger kommunerna att digitalisera delar av sina planarkiv. Att digitalisera redan existerande detaljplaner är en tidskrävande process, vilket innebär att effektiva automatiserade metoder kan bli värdefulla för att kunna spara tid. READ MORE
