With information available in more systems than ever, how do we make sense of it all? Here are a few examples of how people have blended large amounts of data across the web and enterprise, and turned it into something useful and visually pleasing.
SatCen faces significant challenges when integrating GIS datasets from multiple sources, which are often in different formats, scales, data models, granularity, and segmentation.
Data integration requires converting data into a common format and data model, which can result in issues with precision, scale, meaning, and structure of the data. For instance, the same object may be duplicated among different sources, such as a street represented as one line feature in one dataset and as multiple line features in another.
In response to the need to increase the efficiency of migrating Open Street Map (OSM) data sources to their own data model, known as SatCen Data Dictionary (SCDD), EUSC has developed an Extract, Cleanse, Transform, and Load (ECTL) workflow using FME Desktop from Safe Software. To facilitate the mapping of OSM data to the SCDD, an analysis of OSM data sources is performed to define the schema mapping document. The analysis utilizes OSM tags consisting of a key and value. For the results, typical values are targeted rather than exceptional values. E.g. an aeroway tag with navigationaid is the typical value while navigation_aid and navigationalaid would be exceptional values. The TagInfo (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/) website lists these combinations and relative counts and provides a SQLite Database for download. This is the primary source of information for analysis. This workflow is based on standards for vector and raster data. The process for mapping Open Street Map data to EU SatCen data dictionary (Compatible with Multinational geospatial co-production program, MGCP), has been replicated with HERE/NAVTEQ mapping to the EU SatCen data dictionary and for the raster side from geotiff to GMLJP2 image compression/decompression with area blurring.
This paper describes a novel system for vectorizing 2D raster cartoon. The output videos are the resolution independent, smaller in file size. As a first step, input video is segment to scene thereafter all processes are done for each scene separately. Every scene contains foreground and background objects so in each and every scene foreground background classification is performed. Background details can occlude by foreground objects but when foreground objects move its previous position such occluded details exposed in one of the next frame so using that frame can fill the occluded area and can generate static background. Classified foreground objects are identified and the motion of the foreground objects tracked for this simple user assistance is required from those motion details of foreground object’s animation generated. Static background and foreground objects segmented using K-means clustering and each and every cluster’s vectorized using potrace. Using vectored background and foreground object animation path vector video regenerated.
Web visualization of complex reality-based 3D models with Nubes3D ICONS Project
Jiménez Fernández-Palacios, B., Remondino, F., Lombardo, J., Stefani, C. and L. De Luca: “Web visualization of complex reality-based 3D models with Nubes”. Digital Heritage 2013 Int. Congress, IEEE Proceedings.
The role of visualization is to create an image that conveys the type of insights into a given process. The visualization process consists of the sequence of steps, or operations, that manipulate the data produced by the process under study and ultimately deliver the desired images.
The visualization process can be seen as a pipeline, consisting of several stages, each modeled by a specific data transformation operation. The input data flows through this pipeline, being transformed in various ways until it generates the output images. The sequence of data, take place in the visualization process is often called the visualization pipeline.
Stockage, manipulation et analyse de données matricielles avec PostGIS RasterACSG Section Montréal
La plus importantes nouveautés de la base de données spatiale open source PostgreSQL/PostGIS 2.0 est le support pour les données raster. PostGIS Raster comprend un outil d’importation similaire à shp2pgsql basé sur GDAL et une série d’opérateurs SQL pour la manipulation et l'analyse des données matricielles. Le nouveau type RASTER est géoréférencé, multi-résolutions et multi-bandes et il supporte une valeur nulle (nodata) et un type de valeur de pixel par bande. PostGIS raster s’inspire de la simplicité de l’expérience vecteur offerte par PostGIS pour rendre toutes les opérations raster aussi simples que possible. Comme pour une couverture vecteur, une couverture raster est divisée en un ensemble d’enregistrements (une ligne = une tuile) stockés dans une seule table (contrairement à Oracle Spatial qui utilise deux types et donc deux tables ou plus). Il est possible d’importer une couverture complète et de la retuiler en une seule commande avec l’outil d’importation et de multiples résolutions de la même couverture peuvent être importées dans des tables adjacentes. Les propriétés des objets raster et de chacune des bandes peuvent être consultées et modifiées ainsi que les valeurs des pixels. Des fonctions existent pour obtenir le minimum, le maximum, la somme, la moyenne, la déviation standard, l’histogramme d’une tuile ou d’une couverture complète. Les fonctions ST_Intersection() et ST_Intersects() fonctionnent pratiquement de manière transparente entre des données raster et vecteur et une série de fonctions pour l’algèbre matricielle (ST_MapAlgebra()) permet de faire de l’analyse de type raster. Il est possible de reclasser les bandes et de les convertir en n’importe quel format d’écriture GDAL. Des fonctions pour générer des rasters et des bandes existent également pour du développement PL/pgSQL. Un driver GDAL pour convertir les couvertures raster en fichiers images est en développement et des plugins pour QGIS et svSIG existent déjà pour les visualiser.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).
