  3. 2. Projective Geometry in Kinematics

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

    Author : Emil Eriksson; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we study projective geometry and show a connection to kinematics. We show how the group of rigid body motions in three-dimensional space can be parameterized on a hyperbolic quadric in a seven-dimensional projective space. We also show that this quadric is a geometry with triality, and we discuss triality from a kinematic viewpoint. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hur kan bostadsgårdar utformas mer hållbart? : inriktning på ekologisk hållbarhet och hälsa

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

Bostadsgårdens yta har stor potential och möjligheter vid skapandet av hållbara städer. READ MORE

  5. 4. Land cover classification using machine-learning techniques applied to fused multi-modal satellite imagery and time series data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Anastasia Sarelli; [2024]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Land Cover Classification; Landsat; Machine Learning; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Land cover classification is one of the most studied topics in the field of remote sensing, involving the use of data from satellite sensors to analyze and categorize different land surface types. There are numerous satellite products available, each offering different spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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

    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.
