Validation of AIS Position Accuracy Using Lidar

Automatic Identification System (AIS) data are widely used for vessel traffic monitoring, navigation support, and maritime research, but AIS-reported positions do not necessarily represent the physical vessel hull accurately. The geometric consistency between AIS-derived vessel r...

High-performance computing in the hydrosciences

This paper provides an overview of High Performance Computing (HPC) in the hydrosciences. It begins with the development of HPC architectures and performance as well as with the expansion of application fields over the last decades. Subsequently, four HPC application cases are pr...

Organizing temporally vague Raster Data in Cloud Environments for machine-learningApplications

Abstract. Although geospatial time series derived from historical remote sensing and topographic maps provide critical insights into land-cover evolution, their heterogeneous structures and temporal vagueness complicate interoperability for machine-learning applications. The perf...

OpenThread as a tool for localization of devices and patients in healthcare systems

PURPOSE: Efficient patient flow management is a key factor for optimizing workflows in cost-intensive hospital units such as operating rooms. While existing prediction models can accurately estimate surgical durations, uncertainties in patient transport and availability of resour...

Spatiotemporal Data Management for subnational Census Data on global Scale

Abstract. Knowledge of the regional distribution of the world’s population is essential for political and social decisions not only but especially for achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Census and other population data at the subnational level are important fo...
