The existence of the fire insurance map, which are one of the large-scale maps, for the area under the Japanese administration before World War II had not been previously confirmed. However, the fire insurance maps for Taiwan and Karafuto (Sakhalin) before World War II were newly discovered at the Chiyoda City's Hibiya Library & Museum. Over 380 of these fire insurance maps for Taiwan and Karafuto (Sakhalin) were scanned and digitalized. These maps were compared with various other similar maps: topographic maps, commercial and industrial guide maps, city planning maps, residential maps, bird eye city maps etc., in order to identify their characteristics. In addition, the usefulness of these fire insurance maps for Taiwan and Karafuto (Sakhalin) was examined. These fire insurance maps are the most accurate and the most large-scale. Moreover, these maps also contribute more useful information.","PeriodicalId":325096,"journal":{"name":"2017 Pacific Neighborhood Consortium Annual Conference and Joint Meetings (PNC)","volume":"1150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133003596","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}

{"title":"Computing biodiversity change via a soundscape monitoring network","authors":"Tzu‐Hao Lin, Yu Tsao, Yu-Huang Wang, H. Yen, S. Lu","doi":"10.23919/PNC.2017.8203533","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23919/PNC.2017.8203533","url":null,"abstract":"A monitoring network for biodiversity change is essential for wildlife conservation. In recent years, many soundscape monitoring projects have been carried out to investigate the diversity of vocalizing animals. However, the acoustic-based biodiversity assessment remains challenging due to the lack of sufficient recognition database and the inability to disentangle mixed sound sources. Since 2014, an Asian Soundscape monitoring project has been initiated in Taiwan. So far, there are 15 recording sites in Taiwan and three sites in Southeast Asia, with more than 20,000 hours of recordings archived in the Asian Soundscape. In this study, we employed the visualization of long-duration recordings, blind source separation, and clustering techniques, to investigate the spatio-temporal variations of forest biodiversity in the Triangle Mountain, Lienhuachih, and T aipingshan. On the basis of blind source separation, biological sounds, with prominent diurnal occurrence pattern, can be separated from the environmental sounds without any recognition database. Thus, clusters of biological sounds can be effectively identified and employed to measure the daily change in bioacoustic diversity. Our results show that the bioacoustic diversity was higher in the evergreen broad-leaved forest. However, the seasonal variation in bioacoustic diversity was most evident in the high elevation coniferous forest. This study demonstrates that a suitable integration of machine learning and ecoacoustics can facilitate the evaluation of biodiversity changes. In addition to biological activities, we can also measure the environmental variability from soundscape information. In the future, the Asian Soundscape will not only serve as an open database for soundscape recordings, but also will provide tools for analyzing the interactions between biodiversity, environment, and human activities.","PeriodicalId":325096,"journal":{"name":"2017 Pacific Neighborhood Consortium Annual Conference and Joint Meetings (PNC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114204426","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}

Automatic detection of location information can make the guidance system becomes proactive. The user no longer needs to input his location. This proactive guiding system includes Bluetooth advertisement, smart phone and guidance management system. The smart phone will receive the Bluetooth advertisement to determine the location information. The location information is thus used to direct the guiding APP to display information accordingly. This proactive method is different from the conventional method in which the user needs to input the location information to the guiding APP. In our system, both methods are applicable. The user can turn off the Bluetooth to terminate the location sensing. Due to the multimedia presentation capability of the smart phone, in addition to voice data, we can also include picture, video and text for user to browse. In our system, active interaction with an expert system to let the user to inquire information about the relationship among different artworks is also experimented. In our experiment, the Asia university modern museum is used as the test area.","PeriodicalId":325096,"journal":{"name":"2017 Pacific Neighborhood Consortium Annual Conference and Joint Meetings (PNC)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122077728","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}

Inspired by Andre Malraux's prophetic vision of the “museum without walls,” the National Palace Museum (NPM) began to incorporate technology into all aspects of its operations in 1996. In the twenty years since, the NPM has worked tirelessly to digitize its collection and open itself up to the world and these efforts culminated in diverse formats of digital content. However, the museum has hesitated from the very beginning to fully open these valuable assets to the public. This situation was not relieved until the latest Open Data policy was adopted and implemented. This new endeavor of open access to NPM's digital content is just a new episode in its ongoing mission of providing public-centric services. Many phases of the possible impact upon museum operations are yet to be observed and managed carefully. This paper will first elaborate on the passage of the creation of digital contents, report the current situation of these works, analyze the viability of their reuse, evaluate the significance of the National Palace Museum's new policy, and, finally, provide some insights into the future of this endless work of creating digital content in the museum context.","PeriodicalId":325096,"journal":{"name":"2017 Pacific Neighborhood Consortium Annual Conference and Joint Meetings (PNC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128030768","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}

But, by the professional division of labor, teachers or the designers of teaching materials is hard to making a content in VR or AR applications. In 3D virtual environment, it's not easy to making animations for 3D human models. Therefore, we made a recording system to make it convenient and effortless for teachers to create teaching materials in 3D e-learning system. We use Kinect V2 as sensors to capture the motion mapped form human body to the virtual character, and the facial expression mapped form human face, and the status of virtual objects which you can control the virtual character to interact with. Also the voice will be recorded synchronously. And the data will be exported as files. The animation files include the motions, facial expressions, the status of virtual objects and the voice. The animations recorded by our system can replay synchronously, and using in the virtual lab or virtual classroom as the tutorials and instructions.","PeriodicalId":325096,"journal":{"name":"2017 Pacific Neighborhood Consortium Annual Conference and Joint Meetings (PNC)","volume":"45 24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114143673","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}

Children have insufficient conceptual framework of knowledge and hard to understand the correlation between call numbers and themes. Young readers need an interactive, learning environment to enable them to find the books which are interested in by thematic order. Researchers apply the Cognitive-developmental theory and children's information seeking behaviors into the invention of a mixed-reality futuristic library for children using cutting-edge technologies. We first created a visualized children's book classified system using facet structured thesaurus, and employed beacon indoor positioning technologies to locate categorization of themes in non-linear arrangement of bookshelves. We then designed navigation interfaces to help children search for books using smartwatches. An integration of RFID smart bookshelf for popular books (placed in thematic-random-order), and visualized browsing interfaces were designed for children. Digital wall screens in clustering (inspired) and categorization (discovering) representations developed to recommend books for children in different cognitive-development groups. For children learning library-use instruction in a virtual-world environment, we created a mixed-reality corridor, in which children were immersed in interactive games and learn what the classification numbers mean. The world children live in is a three-dimensional space. Children at the concrete operational stage of development are apt to use their experiences in this physical world to navigate virtual worlds. Researchers proposed and examined various spatial-metadata schemes for a mixed-reality environment designed for children to find books. Smart library with innovative technologies has the power to transform informationseeking behavior and brings libraries to life, allowing children readers to benefit from digital learning in a state-of-the-art library environment.","PeriodicalId":325096,"journal":{"name":"2017 Pacific Neighborhood Consortium Annual Conference and Joint Meetings (PNC)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121630133","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}
