Early forecasting probable sites of locust outbreaks are very important for rangeland management and agricultural protection. This study promoted a GIS-based model combining with multi-criteria analysis to predict the possible area where locust might outbreak. Factors including monthly average temperature, monthly relative humidity, elevation, slope, NDVI and soil PH value were used in this model. The results showed that the locusts were mainly distributed in the north and west part of Xinjiang, which was highly consistent with the actual locust distribution. The average accuracy was 84.37%, and the highest accuracy that appeared in Urumqi reached 97.25%. The average empowering weight method is more suitable for this study as the accuracies are both higher than 90% in 2011 and 2012. Hence, this model was able to predict the probable sites of locust outbreak in Xinjiang, which would provide valuable information to locust control and prevention authorities.","PeriodicalId":371399,"journal":{"name":"2015 23rd International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122470488","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}

In order to complete the auto-completion function, when users input some keywords part of an POI names to get some full name response, to improve the searching efficiency of Chinese POI data, we take the Chinese POI names as strings which are of high similarity and designed an effective data indexing method for Chinese POI names on the basis of a data structure--radix tree. So this work mainly deals with the approximate string search in large amounts of Chinese POI name strings. We present how to preprocess the Chinese POI name strings and store them in the radix tree. We then give an example to describe the procedure of input keyword string query based on the constructed radix tree of some Chinese POI names. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we also analyzed the other two string query algorithms which are based on trie tree and ternary search tree respectively. We compare the performances between them from the perspective of time complexity and space complexity. Our results show that: 1) the performance of the POI search algorithm based on the radix tree is better than the other two algorithms both in the time complexity and space complexity for the Chinese POI names data; 2) the performance stability of the POI data search algorithm based on the radix tree is better than the latter two. The use of this kind of index mechanism makes the efficiency of Chinese POI data query respond well in Map Service which will have a promising future.","PeriodicalId":371399,"journal":{"name":"2015 23rd International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115766477","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}

Random forests methodology improves the accuracy of the model by aggregating multiple models. Especially when dealing with large data, it shows strong robustness. So, we plan to apply random forests methodology to landslide susceptibility analysis triggered by earthquakes. We made Lushan and its surrounding areas as our study area, which suffered from the earthquake in April 20, 2013. This area is located in fault zone in the Longmen Mountains, it shows guiding significance for the study of seismic landslide in southwest China. Based on seismic landslide physical mechanics, we chose slope, aspect, fault, river, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), waviness, lithology, seismic intensity and elevation as landslide factors. Then, we built the suitable seismic landslide model based on Random Forests. After that, we used Out-of-Bag estimates (OOB) to calculate the generalization error of our model, and we also used Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC) error evaluation system to estimate the correctness of the model. When the number of sample data is greater than 50, the OOB generalization error result is less than 0.08, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.938 which means the model has a high reliability. Through this research we found that the random forests methodology showed a good performance when dealing with seismic landslide studies and should be spread to related research.","PeriodicalId":371399,"journal":{"name":"2015 23rd International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114075041","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}

Geo-location data is probably the most important and interesting data that vendors and researchers care about when their designed apps are being used. If an organization maintains several apps, and it wants to monitor the geo-location trend of each app's usage, it will be chaotic and redundant to implement geo-location logging module for every individual app. Instead, it's much cleaner to encapsulate geo-location logging component into SDKs, and centralize the reporting portals into the same cloud service. In this paper, we propose an approach of Modularization SDK Implementation and Cloud reporting architecture, to enable Mobile apps with sensor information logging and reporting by inserting one single line of code. We also use Geo-Location logging as an example and explain how it works on iOS and Android platforms. Our approach can bring several advantages including removing redundant implementation of function modules and bringing more scalability on backend reporting.","PeriodicalId":371399,"journal":{"name":"2015 23rd International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121143343","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}

Up to now, most researches on drought monitoring are focused on constructing the relationship between parameters of remote sensing and land surface. Most current models are complex and indirect, instead, the water area directly reflects drought situation especially in the region where the irrigation and drinking mainly depend on surface water, so it is practical to evaluate drought based on the changes of water area. In this paper, taking the Dongting Lake as an example, the extraction method of water area from images of long time serious is firstly proposed. Furthermore, the correlation between water area and water level is analyzed to validate that the water area can quantitatively indicate drought. On the basis of constructing model of water area anomaly, the approaches of identifying and verifying drought classification assisted by typical drought event in history are illustrated. The result indicates that the proposed approach is valid for monitoring drought in terms of the changes of water area.","PeriodicalId":371399,"journal":{"name":"2015 23rd International Conference on Geoinformatics","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116115177","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 assessment falls far behind the propagation of the diseases. To address the issue of government data lagging, we propose a disease risk assessment framework using the open source data. Our proposed framework includes five sections: Automatic Data Discovery, Data Organization, Computing resource calling, Model selection and Visualization. The process of data discovery and organization can be done automatically.
