In this study, we applied the IPTA technique to monitor the ground deformation of Shenzhen urban area and along the Shenzhen metro lines. The available SAR dataset consists of 20 images from the satellite mission ENVISAT between January 2008 and July 2010. The maximum subsidence rate reaches up to -17.9 to -10 mma-1. The maximum rise rate reaches up to 6 to 9.8 mma-1. The Point Target velocity map shows that there is a strong subsidence in Shenzhen urban area, and the subsidence rate is larger than -10 mma-1. There is also severe subsidence along the metro lines, especially at the stations. The subsidence in the first phase of the Shenzhen metro project is less than the second phase of metro project. The subsidence along the elevated line is less than the underground line. The locations of ground collapse events are mainly distributed at the metro stations.","PeriodicalId":259976,"journal":{"name":"2012 20th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115203190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accessing the locations of events or determining the locations of mobile nodes is one of basic functions of wireless sensor networks. Except for normal information, sensor nodes should also provide position information of sensor nodes. So it's necessary to have a reliable algorithm for localization. Using GPS (Global Position System) technology is a good way to fix position in many fields, and high precision and performance could be obtained in outdoor environment. However, high energy consumption and device volume make it not proper for the low cost self-organizing sensor networks. Some researchers used Monte-Carlo Localization (MCL) algorithm in mobile nodes localization, and revealed that better localization effects could be obtained. However, current MCL-based approaches need to acquire a large number of samples to calculate to achieve good precision. The energy of one node is limited and can't last for a long time. In this paper, a new method has been suggested to apply genetic algorithm to improve MCL in MSNs for localization. Experimental results illustrate that our methodology has a better performance in comparison with Monte Carlo localization algorithm.","PeriodicalId":259976,"journal":{"name":"2012 20th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124237250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The path residual pheromone and heuristic factors of the Ant colony algorithm in this integrated model are treated as personal behavior difference and aggregation, which can be treated as the herb behavior factors and the shortest path first factors,reflecting the randomness and interaction in the process of population evacuation. Through using ant colony algorithm to calculate the transition probability of the interaction among the neighboring cells, and updating the pheromone through taboo list based on local optimal path of the ant colony, the cells can finally finish the simulation of safe evacuation under the principle of optimal transition rules. The method could effectively simulate the delayed population and achieve the simulation of the population distribution in the evacuation area when the natural disaster happens. It would also offer a scientific reference for the research of population emergency evacuation.","PeriodicalId":259976,"journal":{"name":"2012 20th International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116487679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explore the spatiotemporal patterns of human intra-urban trips using metro smartcard records of Shenzhen city. Through statistics of millions of smartcard records, we found that the intra-urban trips: (a) have two significant peak hours over day; (b) are different between weekday and weekend; and (c) have significant periodicity. The temporal patterns owe to the living and working habit of the inhabitants. The result also shows that passengers' volumes, as well as the spatiotemporal patterns, are various for different stations, due to the land uses around stations.

The model was applied to optimize soil sampling network of Hengshan County in loess hilly area in China. The performance of the PMOPSO model was compared to that of sequential MOPSO.

The ignition of forest fire needs some special weather and forest conditions concerned. Fuel moister content is a critical factor to induce the occurrence of forest fires. It is decided by the vegetation water content. In This paper the Great Khingan Mountains Region which locate in Heilongjiang Province were taken as the study area.

However, there might be some errors that manual filtering was needed to correct the misclassified points. For the area where there was absent of points, interpolation would be controlled with the help of existing survey data (break line, building boundary, etc.). Finally, all ground points were used to interpolate a 1m by 1m DEM and accuracy of the DEM was evaluated.

The results were validated by water table records in the unconfined aquifers of the basin. The GRACE-GLDAS estimates show a good correlation with the observed data except specific months. The R2 of 2005 (exclude May, June, and July), 2006 (exclude May to September), 2007 (exclude May and June), and 2008 (exclude September) are 0.554, 0.619, 0.516, and 0.627, respectively.
