Digital Heritage Documentation Via TLS And Photogrammetry Case Studytheijes
In the last decade, several manual tradition measurement techniques were used to document the heritage buildings around the word; however, some of these techniques take a long time, often lack completeness, and may sometimes give unreliable information. In contrast, terrestrial laser scanning “TLS” surveys and Photogrammetry have already been undertaken in several heritage sites in the United Kingdom and other countries of Europe as a new method of documenting heritagesites. This paper focuses on using the TLS and Photogrammetry methods to document one of the important houses in Historic Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which is Nasif Historical House, as an example of Digital Heritage Documentation (DHD).

DDS Advanced Tutorial - OMG June 2013 Berlin MeetingJaime Martin Losa
An extended, in-depth tutorial explaining how to fully exploit the standard's unique communication capabilities.Presented at the OMG June 2013 Berlin Meeting.
Users upgrading to DDS from a homegrown solution or a legacy-messaging infrastructure often limit themselves to using its most basic publish-subscribe features. This allows applications to take advantage of reliable multicast and other performance and scalability features of the DDS wire protocol, as well as the enhanced robustness of the DDS peer-to-peer architecture. However, applications that do not use DDS's data-centricity do not take advantage of many of its QoS-related, scalability and availability features, such as the KeepLast History Cache, Instance Ownership and Deadline Monitoring. As a consequence some developers duplicate these features in custom application code, resulting in increased costs, lower performance, and compromised portability and interoperability.
This tutorial will formally define the data-centric publish-subscribe model as specified in the OMG DDS specification and define a set of best-practice guidelines and patterns for the design and implementation of systems based on DDS.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

2. About Small Business based in Tucson, AZ Started 2 Jan 2009 Products: Cogent3D developed Symmetry Diamond Visionics developed 3D Genesis Products Employees: 5 Market: Defense and Simulation
4. Products Create GIS Source From FLT, JCATS, and OneSAF Terrain TACForge - New Tool Coming Summer 2009 Real-time 3D Directly from GIS Data Standalone and Multiple Channels Turn GIS Data Into Correlated OneSAF Terrain
7. Natively GeoCentric Round Earth “The world is your database” extents No more far clipping plane worries User-definable Geoid (GSM) Ground, Sea, Air, and Space visualization on the same worldwide terrain for correlation across all domains
8. Dynamic Construction Genesis generates worldwide 3-D visual scenes directly from source data: JPEG2K, DTED, and Gridfloat –Elevation {GDAL} JPEG2K, ECW, and GeoTIFF – Imagery {.IMG and NITF with GDAL} ESRI Shape and KML – Vector {GDAL} OpenFlight and Collada – 3-D Models Dynamically update the 3-D scenes by updating the source Dynamically perform parametric expansion of vectors in real-time (i.e. buildings, airports, roads, power lines, bridges, light pools, etc.) 8
9. How does it work? Genesis decides how to render. You decide what to render.
15. Graphical Source Mapping Teach the tool: where to find your data understand your attribution represent your data Save those settings so future uses of that data or any data with those attributes can be done through drag and drop into the 3-D scene:
16. Source Data Mapping XML mapping of source data to 3-D scenes Rules that run in real-time: Select right files Analyze file contents Construct 3D scenes Your 3-D scene the way you want.
17. File Level Rules Evaluator is a file level selector control Defines File name patternand record attributes to select files to use in Assembler Chain
18. Record Level Rules Evaluation Rules are record level selector controls Every record in a file is compared to evaluation rules Think “if true” enter, “else” go to next rule
27. Power of XML Rules ESRI Power line linear Turn linear to power line and poles Buffer trees near power lines Flatten the area under the power lines Texture area under power lines with grass Offset from power line linear center and create dirt path near power line on grass area All without programming or changing the original ESRI source data
28. Flexibility of XML Rules Change the training scenario every time you use it without rebuilding your database No more playing the training system, student will have to learn the task Modify the terrain layout at targets with different vectors, elevation, and models in real-time to change scenarios to force learning
29. Configuration Management It is all XML Files: Project files Source file mapping and source meta data Assembler chains Entity Mapping to host This means that for the first time you can check in all your terrain projectsinto configuration management with your software . Genesis Assemblers and application are modular so you can CM the application as well.
31. Space to Urban-Same Tool High Altitude Space or Aviation Maritime or Near Ground Aviation Urban ground or Close Combat All things in between are support by Genesis natively from one copy of the source data and one project file. Same math + same data = Correlation across all your domains of simulation Genesis calculates transition ranges of terrain and features based on subtended pixels based on screen resolution in real-time.
32. Mission Functions Mission Functions use the same polygons as the visual/sensors Run on the CPU so multiple copies can be started to increase the number of functions Collision, HAT, Line of sight (LOS) Returns object, color, range, and more.
33. Airports From AVDAFIF Keep all your airports runways up to date with automated airport runway generation from AVDAFIF in real-time. Runways, markings, signs, lights, and other embedded information for placement.
35. Dynamic Terrain Interactive elevation editing Dynamic elevation modification Effects LOS, HAT, Shading, Lighting, collision, etc. (It is the terrain surface) Before After
36. Dynamic Terrain Addition of Grid float will cause terrain changes This event can be synced with PDU of detonation The grid float could be static or processed by 3rd party application to fidelity needed. Because they are files they can be removed easily or placed as part of the database construction Persist over time for multiple run scenarios sharing with others, it is just terrain to us
37. Runtime Shape Overlays ERSI Shape File Overlays in Real-time Point, Line, and Polygons Control Color and Alpha Apply like any other Shape based on Attributes Overlays Do not affect performance
43. 3-D Source Editing Real-time: Place 3-D models Construct walls Construct roads Construct berms Construct fences Scatter objects Save all your changes to ESRI Shape
44. 3-D Source Editing ESRI Shape Add NEW ESRI Shape points and lines Edit EXISTING ESRI Shape points and lines Imagery Create NEW ESRI Shape to clip and blend Elevation Create NEW ESRI Grids with changes Share
45. Export Data/ Share Genesis Products run on GIS data. When you have completed editing and attribute mapping your data, share with your other systems (correlation) and your friends. It is ESRI Shape, DTED, and Flight data that loads in tens of thousands of GOTS, COTS, and Free applications without modification of the application or the data.
47. Scalability Assembler Chains are mini programs, You can run them in parallel on multiple CPUs and cores. More CPUs and cores the faster the system. Publishers scale across multiple GPUs to provide more fill and polygons as needed. System uses screen space for most of its math calculations so higher resolution output is supported automatically.
