Model-based probabilistic inversion using magnetic data: A case study on the kevitsa deposit

Structural geological models are widely used to represent relevant geological interfaces and property distributions in the subsurface. Considering the inherent uncertainty of these models, the non-uniqueness of geophysical inverse problems, and the growing availability of data, there is a need for methods that integrate different types of...

LightGuider: Guiding interactive lighting design using suggestions, provenance, and quality visualization

LightGuider is a novel guidance-based approach to interactive lighting design, which typically consists of interleaved 3D modeling operations and light transport simulations. Rather than having designers use a trial-And-error approach to match their illumination constraints and aesthetic goals, LightGuider supports the process by simulating...

The geometry of terrestrial laser scanning; identification of errors, modeling and mitigation of scanning geometry

Over the past few decades, Terrestrial Laser Scanners are increasingly being used in a broad spectrum of applications, from surveying to civil engineering, medical modeling and forensics. Especially surveying applications require on one hand a quickly obtainable, high resolution point cloud but also need observations with a well described...

Understanding and Managing the Constructive Characteristics of Vernacular Architecture

In this paper a methodology will be presented to investigate and document the constructive characteristics of two raw earth houses: artifacts that belong to the vernacular architecture. The comprehension, analysis and documentation of these architectures presents several problems mainly linked to the impossibility of using a predefined method,...

Modelling and observation of heat losses from buildings: The impact of geometric detail on 3D heat flux modelling

The impact of 3D geometry complexity on the accuracy of simulating radiative, convective and conductive fluxes in an urban canyon was explored. The research involved the collection of meteorological data in an urban canyon in the city of Strasbourg, France, for input into a 3D model called LASER/F, which simulates the aforementioned fluxes. The...

3D Rigorous simulation of mask induced polarization

The polarization induced by the mask is studied by using a 3D rigorous model, wich solves Maxwell equations using the finite element method. Teh aerial image depends strongly on the change of polarization induced by the materials, thickness of the layer and pitch of the periodic masks.
