Hi guys, It's been a little while since my last post as I went home for a much needed break for Summer and its been hectic the past few weeks with work and organizing for a few dissemination and training activities which are next on the timeline! I'm actually writing this post from Rome before I present at the International Congress on Transport Infrastructure and Systems in a changing World, TIS Roma 2019, but I will talk about that in my next post! Before Summer I got the opportunity to go to South Korea for the International Conference on Smart Cities in Seoul. I went with one of my good friends and coworkers Konstantinos, ESR 10( http://smartietn.eu/research/smarti-guidelines/esr10/ ). We were there to present a joint piece of research where we utilized Life Cycle Assessment techniques, used in his project, to look at the sustainability of implementing the 3D modelling techniques of my project. In our paper we found very good results showing that the techniques not onl
Hi Guys, It’s been a very long time since my last post as I’ve been busy trying to work out the kinks of the project, carrying out surveys and analysis and trying to figure out where next to take my research. I have been involved in several research papers and as a result, my time has been spent at the pc doing analysis and writing papers to disseminate the results. So now I want to give a quick update on the project, my plans, and some activities I have been a part of as part of the SMARTI ETN network! First up! - After publishing my first paper, ‘Image-based 3D reconstruction using traditional and UAV datasets for analysis of road pavement distress’ (available online at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.autcon.2018.10.010 ), the next step in the process was trying to establish the accuracy of the methods using mobile devices and then to figure out anomalies within the models that can be used for recognition and analysis. To this point, I have been able to carry out analysis and surveys
