Modelling Aids Brisbane Flood Crisis

The videos supplied residents, business owners and the public with realistic representations of the predicted flood event.

The flood simulation was based on accurate geospatial terrain data created by AAM. The company provides engineers and planners with photo realistic 3D city models and highly accurate terrain models to aid in their assessment and design tasks.

AAM general manager, Brian Nicholls, says that he hopes that AAM's simulations help in some way to communicate the scale and extent of the flooding. "We hope that the recent events in Queensland will prompt greater consideration to be given to high-resolution mapping, which can then be used to help manage future flood events in many areas of Australia at risk."

Hello. Yesterday i found one great new book on this subject - “Advances in Theory and Applications of Stereo Vision”. The book presents a wide range of innovative research ideas and current trends in stereo vision. The topics covered in this book encapsulate research trends from fundamental theoretical aspects of robust stereo correspondence estimation to the establishment of novel and robust algorithms as well as applications in a wide range of disciplines. Interesting theoretical trends presented in this book involve the exploitation of the evolutionary approach, wavelets and multiwavelet theories, Markov random fields and fuzzy sets in addressing the correspondence estimation problem. Novel algorithms utilizing inspiration from biological systems (such as the silicon retina imager and fish eye) and nature (through the exploitation of the refractive index of liquids) make this book an interesting compilation of current research ideas. Book is free to download or you can just read it on online reading platform like I do, all on samo link: http://www.intechopen.com/books/show/title/advances-in-theory-and-applications-of-stereo-vision Hope you will find it useful.
