Problematic Cellular Automata Segmentation and Clusterization of a Region’s Geoinformation Space

We consider the problems of clustering and segmentation for objects in the geoinformation space using the cellular automata theory, both classical and non-orthogonal ones. We clarify the terminology associated with the use of hybrid software and hardware for processing information coming from sources of different physical nature. This research is based on the geometric clusterization methods of multidimensional real or virtual spaces. As illustrative examples we consider two and three-dimensional variants, which, from our point of view, does not reduce the results’ significance in relation to the space of a greater dimension. Based on the formation conditions of the geoinformation space model as a semantic system, the use of semantic interoperability of its properties and corresponding subspaces is justified. It is shown that the unified geographic information space (UGIS) can be the data source for the formation procedures of various problem-oriented clusters used to manage socio-economic objects. As a variant of the UGIS formed subspaces this study uses a digital plan-diagram that has proven its effectiveness during previous works on the analysis of territories during their space monitoring. We also pay attention to the use of fuzzy methods and models in the processing of fuzzy source data and the clusters formation. Specific examples of clustering and segmentation using classical and non-orthogonal cellular automata are given.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF DIGITAL CREATION TOPOGRAPHIC PLAN

Theoretical bases of creation of the digital topographic plan of district are considered, the analysis of the materials used for creation of the digital topographic plan of district is carried out. Types and features of application of topographic plans are analyzed. The most suitable geo-basis for creating a digital plan has been identified. Studies have shown that a 1: 500 scale geo-base is quite informative and most optimal for creating digital and conventional topographic plans in the city. Without additional removal, 1: 500 scale plans allow for the transition to smaller scale plans. According to current national regulations, a single coordinate and altitude system should be used to create topographic plans. Today, the only state coordinate system USK-2000 is used, which replaced the coordinate system SK-42, which is based on the Krasovsky ellipsoid and the Gauss-Krueger projection. Possibilities of development of electronic topographic plans with use of modern software complexes are investigated. Computer software allows you to process data as accurately as possible and perform tasks quickly. Among the main software packages used to create an electronic topographic plan of the area are AutoCAD, Digitals, Geonics, COMPASS, MapInfo Pro, Topocad. The choice of software product depends on the breadth of the task, the modernity of surveying instruments and their own software. An analysis of the software used in the creation of digital maps and topographic plans, which showed that the choice of a particular product depends on the breadth of the task, the modernity of surveying instruments and their own software. AutoCAD software is universal and fully adapted to modern geodetic problems. The use of AutoCAD software will ensure the final processing of data obtained during field work and the completion of the digital topographic plan of the area. The procedure for creating a digital topographic plan of the area using Digitals and AutoCAD software is considered. Creating a digital topographic plan of the area is a complex process consisting of several stages, which are described in the article.

Going from Analogue to Digital: A Study of Documentation Methods during an Excavation of the Neolithic Flint Mines at Pilbladet, Sweden

The ‘digital turn’ in archaeology has resulted in documentation, analysis, visualization and repository requirements becoming increasingly digital in recent years. However, we are only at the beginning of understanding how the shift from analogue to digital affects archaeological interpretation, as attention has mainly been directed towards technological aspects. However, how archaeology is executed influences the production of archaeological knowledge, and additional research into digital practices and their consequences is needed. During the latest excavation in 2014 of the Neolithic flint mines of Södra Sallerup, in Malmö in southern Sweden, several recording methods were used to document the remains in plan, including hand drawing, digital mapping with GPS and digital photography using a camera mounted on a pole. The records were used to create both a digital plan as well as georeferenced orthophotos from a 3D model and from photomosaic. The aim was to produce a record comparable to previous documentation from decades of archaeological excavations of the flint mines in the area, as well as one that is up-to-date with today’s digital standards. The methods are described and their consequences for the archaeological results are discussed.

Digital Plan of Brickwork Layout for Robotic Bricklaying Technology

The trend of using modern technologies in the construction industry has been growing stronger recently, particularly in the fields of additive construction or robotic bricklaying. Therefore, specifically for the purpose of robotic bricklaying, we created a digital layout plan for robotic construction works. This article presents a universal methodology for creating a bricklaying plan for various variations of wall building systems. The method is based on the conversion of drawings from the BIM (Building Information Model) environment to the BREP (Boundary Representation) model through use of the IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) format, which simultaneously divides object models into layers and connects discontinuous wall axes by means of an orthogonal arrangement and inserting details into critical structural points. Among other aspects, the developed algorithm proposes the optimal placement of the robotic system inside objects under construction, in order to minimize the distance of the robot’s movement and to reduce its electricity consumption. Digital layout plans created in this way are expected to serve as a stepping stone for robotic bricklaying.

Digital smile design as a tool in the planning of porcelain laminate veneers restoration

ABSTRACT Digital smile design is an important tool for esthetic planning in dentistry as it facilitates ease of communication between professionals and patients. This clinical report has the objective of describing a clinical procedure involving digital smile design for the placement of porcelain laminate veneer restorations. The digital smile design included dental and facial analyzes. The smile curve was drawn and a dental ruler was used to delimitate the spaces between each tooth. An approximate simulation of the smile was generated using Adobe Photoshop software. For esthetic and functional evaluation of the digital plan was created a diagnostic waxing and mock-up. The laminate veneers were made with feldspathic porcelain. Digital smile design was essential for successful planning because it enabled better patient contact with the end result. This case demonstrates the importance of this tool in esthetic dentistry.

Periodismo de datos en Ecuador. Análisis de casos: El Comercio y Plan V

Este artículo se propone identificar cómo surge y evoluciona el periodismo de datos dentro del escenario del periodismo digital en Ecuador. Para ello, se propone caracterizar esa modalidad como fenómeno particular en los medios tradicionales digitalizados y los medios nativos digitales ecuatorianos. Un propósito que además ofrece un análisis de ese quehacer periodístico que se nutre de diversas condiciones profesiones, empresariales, contextuales, económicas y políticas. Conjuntamente se realiza un estudio comparativo al observar dos casos en concreto: por un lado El Comercio, un medio tradicional digitalizado con su sección El Comercio Data; y por otro, el nativo digital Plan V, un prestigioso cibermedio de investigación

DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY FOR FORMING THE BOUNDARIES OF POLLING STATIONS USING THE QGIS SOFTWARE PACKAGE

The article presents the results of production work on the implementation of a geoinformation project to create an electronic plan of the city of Novosibirsk. The digital plan shows the electoral districts for holding elections of deputies of the Novosibirsk city Council and voting on amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020. A special feature of the work is the use of free software QGIS. A sequence of works is presented, as well as a description of the author's algorithms for automating technological operations. The work is of a production nature and can be used as guidelines for creating digital thematic maps.
