Semi-automatic building detection and extraction is a topic of growing interest due to its potential application in such areas as cadastral information systems, cartographic revision, and GIS. One of the existing strategies for building extraction is to use a digital surface model (DSM) represented by a cloud of known points on a visible surface, and comprising features such as trees or buildings. Conventional surface modeling using stereo-matching techniques has its drawbacks, the most obvious being the effect of building height on perspective, shadows, and occlusions. The laser scanner, a recently developed technological tool, can collect accurate DSMs with high spatial frequency. This paper presents a methodology for semi-automatic modeling of buildings which combines a region-growing algorithm with line-detection methods applied over the DSM.

This paper proposes a monoscopic method for automatic determination of building's heights in digital photographs areas, based on radial displacement of points in the plan image and geometry at the time the photo is obtained. Determination of the buildings' heights can be used to model the surface in urban areas, urban planning and management, among others. The proposed methodology employs a set of steps to detect arranged radially from the system of photogrammetric coordinates, which characterizes the lateral edges of buildings present in the photo. In a first stage is performed the reduction of the searching area through detection of shadows projected by buildings, generating sub-images of the areas around each of the detected shadow. Then, for each sub-image, the edges are automatically extracted, and tests of consistency are applied for it in order to be characterized as segments of straight arranged radially. Next, with the lateral edges selected and the knowledge of the flight height, the buildings' heights can be calculated. The experimental results obtained with real images showed that the proposed approach is suitable to perform the automatic identification of the buildings height in digital images.

As atividades que envolvem o uso de explosivos devem ser controladas, não só com relação ao desmonte de estruturas (rocha e outros materiais), mas também quanto a danos estruturais em edificações próximas (casas, edificações históricas, etc.) e outros impactos ambientais como vibração, propagação de ruídos, ultralançamentos e sobrepressão atmosférica. Tais atividades são regidas por normas técnicas que sugerem parâmetros de medição e limites definidos na avaliação de prováveis danos. No caso específico de minerações em áreas urbanas, a velocidade de vibração de partícula (Vp), normalmente expressa em mm/s, é o parâmetro que tem dado melhor correlação na avaliação de possíveis danos às estruturas civis, atribuídos às vibrações do terreno. As diferentes normas existentes apresentam valores de Vp que variam de 2mm/s para edifícios históricos até 150mm/s para construções em concreto armado. A maioria delas considera na avaliação de danos estruturais, além da velocidade, a freqüência da vibração. Algumas normas foram elaboradas com base em dados experimentais, analisando parâmetros como o tipo de construção e o material nela utilizados, outras se basearam apenas em valores empíricos, mas todas apresentam valores conservativos. A norma brasileira não avalia o parâmetro freqüência e não classifica os diferentes tipos de estruturas civis, restringindo-se ao valor resultante da velocidade de vibração como parâmetro medido, sendo, assim, limitada e deficiente em relação às normas internacionais. A coletânea aqui apresentada reuniu as normas nas Américas e em outros continentes, além de uma comparação com as normas européias mais importantes em âmbito mundial.

Nasutitermes globiceps is a Neotropical termite, considered a pest in Brazil. It has been reported to cause damage to wood of buildings, transmission poles, fences, trees and stored material. Nest architecture of this arboreal Nasutitermes is described in a small area of natural vegetation of Sāo Paulo state. Polycalism and polygyny are reported as reproductive mechanisms present in the species.

ArcTech is a software being developed, applied and improved with the aim of becoming an efficient sensitization tool to support the teaching-learning process of Architecture courses. The application deals initially with the thermal comfort of buildings. The output generated by the software shows if a student is able to produce a pleasant environment, in terms of thermal sensation along a 24-hours period. Although one can find the very same characteristics in fully-developed commercial software, the reason to create ArcTech is related to the flexibility of the system to be adapted by the instructor and also to the need of simple tools for the evaluation of specific topics along the courses. The first part of ArcTech is dedicated to data management and that was developed using the visual programming language Delphi 7 and Firebird as the database management system. The second part contains the parameters that can be changed by the system administrator and those related to project visualization. The interface of the system, in which the student will learn how to implement and to evaluate the project alternatives, was built using Macromedia Flash. The software was applied to undergraduate students revealing its easy-learning and easy-teaching interface.

The energy efficiency of buildings should be a goal at the pre-design phase, though the importance of the design variables is often neglected even during the design process. Highlighting the relevance of these design variables, this research studies the relationships of building location variables with the electrical energy consumption of residential units. The following building design parameters are considered: orientation, story height and sky view factor (SVF). The consideration of the SVF as a location variable contributes to the originality of this research. Data of electrical energy consumption and users' profiles were collected and several variables were considered for the development of an Artificial Neural Network model. This model allows the determination of the relative importance of each variable. The results show that the apartments' orientation is the most important design variable for the energy consumption, although the story height and the sky view factor play a fundamental role in that consumption too. We pointed out that building heights above twenty-four meters do not optimize the energy efficiency of the apartments and also that an increasing SVF can influence the energy consumption of an apartment according to their orientation.
