Scope Project

Solar maps as web cartographic products that provide information on solar potential of surfaces on the Earth have been exploited in decision making, awareness raising, and promoting the use of solar energy. Web based solar maps of cities have become popular services as the use of solar energy is especially attractive in urban environments. The article discusses the concept and aspects of urban solar potential maps on the example of the i-Scope project as a case study. The i-Scope roof solar potential service built on 3-D urban information models was piloted in eight European cities. To obtain precise data on solar irradiation, a good quality digital surface model is required. A cost efficient innovative method for generation of digital surface model from stereophotogrammetry for urban areas where no advanced source data (e. g. LiDAR) exist is developed. The method works for flat, shed and gable roofs and provides sufficient accuracy of digital surface model .

<p>Saat ini, citra satelit resolusi sangat tinggi digunakan dalam berbagai macam aplikasi, terutama pemetaan skala besar. Sebelum dapat digunakan, citra satelit tersebut harus diorthorektifikasi terlebih dahulu. Data <em>Digital Surface Model </em>(DSM) dan <em>Ground Control Point</em> (GCP) adalah dua data utama yang diperlukan saat melakukan orthorektifikasi. Perbedaan data DSM yang digunakan akan menghasilkan perbedaan nilai ketelitian horizontal pada kedua citra tegak hasil orthorektifikasi. Pada penelitian ini digunakan dua jenis DSM yaitu SRTM dan Terrasar-X. Ketelitian vertikal dari SRTM adalah 90 m sedangkan ketelitian vertikal dari Terrasar-X adalah 12,5 m. Penelitian ini berlokasi di Wilayah Buli, Kabupaten Halmahera Timur, Provinsi Maluku. Terdapat tiga sensor citra satelit yang digunakan yaitu Pleiades, Quickbird dan Worldview-2 yang digunakan pada lokasi penelitian. Total GCP yang digunakan adalah 33 titik, tiap titiknya diukur dengan melakukan pengamatan geodetik dan memiliki ketelitian horizontal ≤15 cm dan ketelitian vertikal ≤30 cm. Ketelitian horizontal dari citra tegak satelit resolusi sangat tinggi diperoleh dengan melakukan uji terhadap Independent Check Point (ICP). Total ICP yang digunakan adalah 12 titik, tiap titik ICP diukur dengan metode dan standar yang sama dengan titik GCP. Ketelitian horizontal dengan Circular Error (CE 90) dari citra tegak satelit menggunakan data SRTM adalah 18,856 m sedangkan ketelitian horizontal dengan Circular Error (CE 90) dari citra tegak satelit menggunakan data Terrasar-X adalah 2.168 m . Hasil dari penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa ketelitian vertikal data DSM yang digunakan memberikan pengaruh pada citra tegak satelit hasil orthorektifikasi tersebut. Mengacu pada Peraturan Kepala BIG nomor 15 tahun 2014, citra tegak satelit hasil orthorektifikasi menggunakan data Terrasar-X sebagai DSM memenuhi ketelitian horizontal peta dasar kelas 3 skala 1:5.000 sedangkan citra tegak satelit hasil orthorektifikasi menggunakan data SRTM sebagai DSM tidak dapat memenuhi ketelitian horizontal peta dasar skala besar.</p><p><strong>Kata kunci:</strong> orthorektifikasi, DSM, ketelitian horizontal</p>

Coastal hazards are of increasing concern to many of Alaska’s rural communities, yet quantitative assessments remain absent over much of the coast. To demonstrate how to fill this critical information gap, an erosion and flood analysis was conducted for Goodnews Bay using an assortment of datasets that are commonly available to Alaska coastal communities. Measurements made from orthorectified aerial imagery from 1957 to 2016 show the shoreline eroded 0 to 15.6 m at a rate that posed no immediate risk to current infrastructure. Storm surge flood risk was assessed using a combination of written accounts, photographs of storm impacts, GNSS measurements, hindcast weather models, and a digital surface model. Eight past storms caused minor to major flooding. Wave impact hour calculations showed that the record storm in 2011 doubled the typical annual wave impact hours. Areas at risk of erosion and flooding in Goodnews Bay were identified using publicly available datasets common to Alaska coastal communities; this work demonstrates that the data and tools exist to perform quantitative analyses of coastal hazards across Alaska.

According to the challenge of the reduction of greenhouse gases, the structure of energy production should be revised and the increase of the ratio of alternative energy sources can be a possible solution. Redistribution of the energy production to the private houses is an alternative of large power stations at least in a partial manner. Especially, the utilization of solar energy represents a real possibility to exploit the natural resources in a sustainable way. In this study we attempted to survey the roofs of the buildings with an automatic method as the potential surfaces of placing solar panels. A LiDAR survey was carried out with 12 points/m2 density as the most up-to-date method of surveys and automatic data collection techniques. Our primary goal was to extract the buildings with special regard to the roofs in a 1 km2 study area, in Debrecen. The 3D point cloud generated by the LiDAR was processed with MicroStation TerraScan software, using semi-automatic algorithms. Slopes, aspects and annual solar radiation income of roof planes were determined in ArcGIS10 environment from the digital surface model. Results showed that, generally, the outcome can be regarded as a roof cadaster of the buildings with correct geometry. Calculated solar radiation values revealed those roof planes where the investment for photovoltaic solar panels can be feasible.
