Aerial images usually reveal on one hand a certain amount of information not relevant for the given task of building extraction like vegetation, cars etc. On the other hand there is a loss of relevant information due to occlusions, low contrasts or disadvantageous perspectives. Therefore a promising concept for automated building reconstruction must incorporate a suffciantly complete model of the objects of interest. We propose a model-based approach to 3D building extraction from aerial images which reveals a tight coupling between a generic 3D object model and an explicit 2D image model. The generic object model employes domain specific volumetric primitives (i. e. building part models) and combination schemes. To cover the gap between 3D object models and 2D image data the image model is employed to predict the projective building appearences in aerial images.

Thereby the problem is noted that even for small bodies the required high-resolution analysis reaches the limits of today's computational power, in terms of memory demand as well as acceptable computational effort. A further problem is that frequently the accuracy of geometrical modelling of heterogeneous bodies is inadequate. The present work introduces a systematic combination and adaption of grid-based methods for achieving an essentially higher resolution in the numerical analysis of heterogeneous solids. Grid-based methods are as well primely suited for developing efficient and numerically stable algorithms for flexible geometrical modeling. A key aspect is the uniform data management for a grid, which can be utilized to reduce the effort and complexity of almost all concerned methods. A new finite element program, called Mulgrido, was just developed to realize this concept consistently and to test the proposed methods. Several disadvantages which generally result from grid discretizations are selectively corrected by modified methods. The present work is structured into a geometrical model, a mechanical model and a numerical model. The geometrical model includes digital image-based modeling and in particular several methods for the theory-based generation of inclusion-matrix models. Essential contributions refer to variable shape, size distribution, separation checks and placement procedures of inclusions. The mechanical model prepares the fundamentals of continuum mechanics, homogenization and damage modeling for the following numerical methods. The first topic of the numerical model introduces to a special version of B-spline finite elements. These finite elements are entirely variable in the order k of B-splines. For homogeneous bodies this means that the approximation quality can arbitrarily be scaled. In addition, the multiphase finite element concept in combination with transition zones along material interfaces yields a valuable solution for heterogeneous bodies. As the formulation is element-based, the storage of a global stiffness matrix is superseded such that the memory demand can essentially be reduced. This is possible in combination with iterative solver methods which represent the second topic of the numerical model. Here, the focus lies on multigrid methods where the number of required operations to solve a linear equation system only increases linearly with problem size. Moreover, for badly conditioned problems quite an essential improvement is achieved by preconditioning. The third part of the numerical model discusses certain aspects of damage simulation which are closely related to the proposed grid discretization. The strong efficiency of the linear analysis can be maintained for damage simulation. This is achieved by a damage-controlled sequentially linear iteration scheme. Finally a study on the effective material behavior of heterogeneous bodies is presented. Especially the influence of inclusion shapes is examined. By means of altogether more than one hundred thousand random geometrical arrangements, the effective material behavior is statistically analyzed and assessed.}, subject = {B-Spline}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Walukiewicz2003, author = {Walukiewicz, Henryk}, title = {Identification of Structural Models as a Problem of Group Representation Theory}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.372}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-3725}, year = {2003}, abstract = {It has been shown that symmetries of moment functions of stochastic processes play an important role in identification of systems.

The two approaches provide similar database wrapper agents to integrate relevant design information into two multi-agent systems: Database wrapper agents make the relevant product model data usable for further agents in the multi-agent system, independent on their physical location. Thus, database wrapper agents act as an interface between multi-agent system and heterogeneous database systems. The communication between the database wrapper agents and other requesting agents presumes a common vocabulary: a specific database ontology that maps database related message contents into database objects. Hereby, the software-wrapping technology enables the various design experts to plug in existing database systems and data resources into a specific multi-agent system easily.

A newly developed hybrid interval approach for solving parametric interval linear systems is applied to the considered model and the results are compared to other interval methods. The hybrid approach provides very sharp bounds for the process variables - element strains and stresses. The sources for overestimation when dealing with interval computations are demonstrated. Based on the element strains and stresses, we introduce a definition for the values of nodal strains and stresses by using a set-theoretic approach.}, subject = {Verbundwerkstoff}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RueppelMeissnerGutzke2003, author = {R{\"u}ppel, Uwe and Meißner, Iris and Gutzke, Thomas}, title = {Mobile Computing in der Grundwasserbewirtschaftung}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.354}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-3547}, year = {2003}, abstract = {Die Bewirtschaftung von Grundwasser umfasst zum einen die Nutzungserfordernisse und Versorgungsbed{\"u}rfnisse und zum andern den Schutz des Grundwassers als Bestandteil des Naturhaushaltes.

Im Rahmen des Pilotprojektes Grundwasser-Online im Hessischen Ried (www.grundwasser-online.de) wurden gezielt die Arbeitsabl{\"a}ufe bei der Erfassung der Daten zur Grundwasserbewirtschaftung sowie der anschließenden Verarbeitung analysiert, bewertet und software-technisch umgesetzt. Ein wichtiger Aspekt dabei ist die Datenerfassung an den r{\"a}umlich verteilten Grundwassermessstellen. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt auf, wie mobile EDV Ger{\"a}te mit einer geeigneten Software die Arbeitsabl{\"a}ufe beim Einsatz vor Ort effizienter gestalten und die Einhaltung der Messvorgaben unterst{\"u}tzen k{\"o}nnen. Durch die Minimierung von Fehlerquellen kann dabei eine Qualit{\"a}tsverbesserung des Datenbestandes erreicht werden. Es wird ein Konzept zur mobilen Erfassung von Grundwasserdaten unter Verwendung von GPS-Positionsdaten und Plausibilit{\"a}tspr{\"u}fungen vorgestellt.

Thus not the order of permitting system of the equations is increased, and at its realization the method of fenite elements does not increase quantity of required degrees freedom. The differential operators included in system the equations are similar known in the classical theory of shells. It facilitates construction of a finite element.
