In mountains the snow cover is heterogeneously distributed in space and time. The spatial and temporal variability of the Alpine snow cover has a major influence on avalanche danger, snow hydrology, mountain ecology and winter tourism. In winter, already d ...
The formation, growth, and destruction of surface hoar crystals is an important feature of mountain snow covers as buried surface hoar layers are a frequent weak layer leading to unstable snowpacks. The energy and mass exchange associated with surface hoar ...
The objective of this diploma thesis was the recognition of vehicles, with perspective to generate a knowledge base for the automatic recognition of vehicles from similar type of data. The goal was achieved by developing a knowledge base in the object-orie ...
This study investigated the distribution of the fraction of rainfall intercepted by the facades of buildings located in an urbanized area. We used the frequently used semi-empirical standard ISO-15927-3 to simulate Wind-Driven Rain on facades. The implemen ...
This portable system offers fast deployment with no recalibration and maps both vertical and horizontal features while maintaining optimal flight parameters. The geo-referenced image and 3D point-cloud data can be processed into digital terrain models, dig ...
Accurate microscale windfields computations over complex topography is crucial to many particle transport models but remains a challenging task. The objective of this work focuses on the numerical simulations of micro-scale windfields over the steep Gauder ...
This portable system offers fast deployment with no recalibration and maps both vertical and horizontal features while maintaning optimal flight parameters. The geo-referenced image and 3D point-cloud data can be processed into digital terrain models, digi ...
Snow in rock faces plays a key role in the alpine environment for permafrost distribution, snow water storage or runoff in spring. However, a detailed assessment of snow depths in steep rock walls has never been attempted. To understand snow distribution i ...
Rockfall propagation areas can be determined using a simple geometric rule known as shadow angle or energy line method based on a simple Coulomb frictional model implemented in the CONEFALL computer program. Runout zones are estimated from a digital terrai ...
Individual points produced by airborne laser scanning (ALS) may have large variation in their accuracy, a fact that is often omitted in the subsequent derivation of digital terrain models. The accuracy of a single point is governed by three main factors: F ...
