Not every building has the same acoustical needs. In concert halls you want the music to travel to every part of the audience, but in restaurants or other social places, you want t[...]
Satellite Radar Interferometry, also known as Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) is an active remote sensing technique used in the EAC industry for developing topogra[...]
Since its introduction in 1961 to track satellites, tripod-based lidar scanners have been used by surveyors to develop high-resolution maps. The 3D scanning technology continues to[...]
With the changes brought on by increased globalization, more and more areas – some that were traditionally very homogenous, like suburbs – are seeing shifts to an extremely diverse[...]
As more and more structures reach old age, structural health monitoring systems are becoming more important to our safety. These new monitoring systems create massive amounts of da[...]
