677 Building Facade Reconstruction Using Crowd-
Sourced Photos and Two-Dimensional Maps
Jie Wu, Junya Mao, Song Chen, Gesang Zhuoma, Liang Cheng, and Rongchun Zhang
To address the high-cost problem of the current three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction for urban
buildings, this article proposes a new technical framework that generates 3D building facade
information using crowd-sourced photos and two-dimensional (2D) building vector data.
695 VNIR-SWIR Superspectral Mineral Mapping:
An Example from Cuprite, Nevada
Kathleen E. Johnson and Krzysztof Koperski
Cuprite, Nevada, is a location well known for numerous studies of its hydrothermal mineralogy.
This region has been used to validate geological interpretations of airborne hyperspectral imagery
(AVIRIS HSI), Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) imagery,
and most recently eight-band WorldView-3 shortwave infrared (SWIR) imagery. This article
presents the results of a supervised mineral-mapping classification applying a random-forest
classifier. Our results show that with good ground truth, WorldView-3 SWIR + VNIR imagery
produces an accurate geological assessment.
701 A New Approach to Land Registry System in
Turkey: Blockchain-Based System Proposal
Arif Furkan Mendi, Önder Demir, Kadir Kaan Sakaklı, and Alper Çabuk
Blockchain is an emerging technology whose extraordinary advantages make it popular. Blockchain
applications are not limited to cryptocurrencies; it can be used in many areas, including smart
ownership. Blockchain-based land registry systems have great potential thanks to their advantages
of high-level security and no intermediary transactions. This article examines the eight-step process
used to identify the participants of the system and generate a blockchain-based land registry
system configured for the local requirements of Turkey.
