LIDAR

LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1. Introduction The aim of this chapter is to give a detailed review of remote sensing theory and its application in lakes/reservoirs, rivers, estuaries and coastal zones, especially in water quality. It will also give a review about the researches pertain the use of remote sensing techniques in Lake Nasser. 2.2. Remote sensing theory Remote sensing, also called earth observation, is a way to get information about objects by collecting and analyzing data without being in…

After reading Scott L. Key's "Treasure Hunters", Harriet Jane Caldwell's "Weather Reconnaissance", and Juan De Los Santos's "Seach for ancient Civilizations", I have concluded that the most advanced technology for researchers and explorers today is found in Harriet Jane Caldwell's piece. Caldwell talks about the job of hurricane hunters, weather disocveries, and other important pieces of technology that we use each and every day. Now, what makes this passage include the most adavanced technology…

life savings account. The first generation of self driving cars could be 300,000 to 400,000 ( Austin Russell). The average american can only afford about a 20,806 dollar car. You can buy the new prius for 24,000 dollars or upgrade it with Velodyne Lidar system for about 75,000 to 80,000 dollars. In reality you can buy that Prius and pay 10,000 dollars and get the same equipment for the vehicle. So the question we are left asking is, are self driving cars worth the money? (Chuck Tannert). Self…

Imagine looking out a car window on the parkway and seeing an empty car. That would freak me out too, but that could soon become routine. Accredited with over 30 years of covering the automotive industry, Paul A. Eisenstein, in his article, “Hands off! Riding along in Ford’s autonomous Fusion”, describes his experience and Ford’s future plans in the autonomous car industry. Eisenstein’s purpose is to inform the general public about the awe inspiring advancement and the effects of this technology…

Similar to many historical buildings in Europe and around the world, building facades are of special interest in Historic Jeddah, as the details of windows, balconies, stonework and ornaments give each historic building its individual character (Böhm et al., 2007). Indeed, the historic district of Jedda has a long history that goes back to since 3000 years ago. This historic destorct includes several heritage buildings “around 600”. These heritage monument have been constructed since 350 years…

This critical review examines the article about “The Moral Challenges of Driverless Cars” written by Keith Kirkpatrick. Keith thinks allowing driverless cars to chare the road with other vehicles, pedestrian, and cyclist will create a significant problem with technologists and ethicists. This article has provides important researches that supports the challenge with the morality behind allowing driverless car on public roads, but the conclusion doesn’t not link back towards the thesis of the…

Technology has changed and advanced vastly over time. Through out these three articles a variety of technological advances are displayed. The first article is about how technology for treasure hunters have improved. The second article is how technology for hurricane hunters have improved. The third article is about how technology has advanced for people who explore looking for ancient civilizations. The most advanced technology for researchers today is the ones used for finding ancient…

autonomous car, also known as a Driverless car, self-driven car, or robotic car is an automated vehicle capable of complete the transportation capabilities of a traditional car. Driverless car sense their environments with such technologies like radar, lidar, GPS, and computer vision. Advanced control systems interpret sensory data to identify and analyse appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage. By definition, automated vehicles are capable of updating their maps…

Driverless cars - they feel their surroundings with such techniques as radar, lidar, GPS, odometry, & computer vision. They update their maps based on sensory input, allowing the vehicles to keep track of their position, even in changing conditions, or in a uncharted environment. These machines have control systems that are capable of analyzing sensory data to distinguish between different cars on the road. Now, some people do not exactly support these vehicles. ‘Oh, they’ll destroy the…

Crash! A mother is on the road, and her kids are in the backseat of her van fighting; the music is playing on the radio and she 's talking to her father on the phone. All these distractions led to a flood of medical bills and insurance fees. Humans are unreliable when it comes to tasks that require focus; they are distracted easily and pay little attention to what they do on a daily basis. Driverless cars introduce a safe way that humans can be on the road and multitask. They are reliable and…
