Even though there has been a great development of using building information models in the AEC (Architecture/Engineering/Construction) sector recently, creation of models of existing buildings is still not very usual. The cultural heritage documentation is still, in most cases, kept in the form of 2D drawings while these drawings mostly contain only geometry without semantics, attributes or definitions of relationships and hierarchies between particular building elements. All these additional information would, however, be very providential for the tasks of cultural heritage preservation, i.e. for the facility management of heritage buildings or for reconstruction planning and it would be suitable to manage all geometric and non-geometric information in a single 3D information model. This paper is based on the existing literature and focuses on the historic building information modelling to provide information about the current state of the art. First, a summary of available software tools is introduced while not only the BIM tools but also the related GIS software is considered. This is followed by a review of existing efforts worldwide and an evaluation of the facts found.

Measurand MEMS ShapeAccelArray sensors are in many ways unique and new equipment, which allows to determine the relative displacements and deformations in other ways than before.

A geodetic measurement of shifts and deformations by total station is a well-known and widely used method. There is presented the analysis of the variations over time of the measured values in continuous geodetic monitoring in this paper. There are used measured data from a specific monitoring system of a surface mine in the time period from January 2006 to July 2010 in the analysis. The aim of the analysis is to describe linear trend and periodic changes in measured data (horizontal direction, zenith angle and slope distance). The main method of the analysis is a linear-harmonic function approximation.

The physiological status of vegetation and changes thereto can be monitored by means of biochemical analysis of collected samples as well as by means of spectroscopic measurements either on the leaf level, using field (or laboratory) spectroradiometers or on the canopy level, applying hyperspectral airborne or spaceborne image data. The presented study focuses on the statistical comparison and ascertainment of relations between three datasets collected from selected Norway spruce forest stands in the Ore Mountains, Czechia. The data sets comprise i) photosynthetic pigments (chlorophylls, carotenoids) and water content of 495 samples collected from 55 trees from three different vertical levels and the first three needle age classes, ii) the spectral reflectance of the same samples measured with an ASD Field Spec 4 Wide-Res spectroradiometer equipped with a plant contact probe, iii) an airborne hyperspecral image acquired with an Apex sensor. The datasets cover two localities in the Ore Mountains that were affected differently by acid deposits in the 1970s and 1980s. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey’s honest significance test, hot spot analysis and linear regression were applied either on the original measurements (the content of leaf compounds and reflectance spectra) or derived values, i.e., selected spectral indices. The results revealed a generally low correlation between the photosynthetic pigments, water content and spectral measurement. The results of the ANOVA showed significant differences between sites (model areas) only in the case of the leaf compound dataset. Differences between the stands on various levels of significance exist in all three datasets and are explained in detail. The study also proved that the vertical gradient of the biochemical and biophysical parameters in the canopy play a role when the optical properties of the forest stands are modelled.
植被的生理状态及其变化可以通过对收集的样品进行生化分析以及在叶片水平上使用野外(或实验室)光谱仪或在冠层水平上使用高光谱机载或星载图像数据进行光谱测量来监测。提出的研究侧重于统计比较和确定三个数据集之间的关系，这些数据集收集自选定的挪威云杉林，捷克山脉。数据集包括i)光合色素(叶绿素，类胡萝卜素)和水分含量，从55棵树的三个不同的垂直水平和前三个针龄类别中收集的495个样本，ii)使用配备植物接触探针的ASD Field Spec 4宽分辨率光谱辐射计测量相同样本的光谱反射率，iii)使用Apex传感器获得的航空高光谱图像。这些数据集涵盖了20世纪70年代和80年代受酸性矿床影响不同的矿石山两个地区。采用单因素方差分析(ANOVA)、Tukey’s honest显著性检验、热点分析和线性回归对原始测量值(叶片化合物含量和反射率光谱)或衍生值(即选定的光谱指标)进行分析。结果表明，光合色素、水分含量与光谱测量之间的相关性一般较低。方差分析的结果显示，只有在树叶化合物数据集的情况下，不同地点(模型区域)之间存在显著差异。在所有三个数据集中存在不同程度的显著性差异，并进行了详细解释。研究还证明，在模拟林分光学特性时，林冠中生化和生物物理参数的垂直梯度会起作用。

The known hypotheses about the reasons why the geoglyphs in the Nasca and Palpa region of Peru were created are many: roads/paths, rituals/ceremonials, use of hallucinogens, astronomical meaning, influence of extraterrestrials, underground water… and so on. We present a new hypothesis, formulated by J. Sonnek (first published in 2011) in the context of all previous hypotheses.1 Sonnek explains the geoglyphs as tidied work areas for the production of rope and nets, although he goes much further than Stierlin. This eccentric hypothesis now has not only experimental but also archaeological and ethnographical support, which is presented here. Geoglyphs of a special shape were discovered in the pampas; they may represent technical objects – different types of ‘rope twisters’. Following this idea, Sonnek made technical devices (using today’s materials) and tested them in practice; they work perfectly, see his YouTube videos.2 In November 2012, wooden pieces, which may be the remnants of ropemaking, were collected from the pampa near the towns of Nasca and Palpa, in vicinity of these hypothetic ropemaking places. Radiocarbon testing by 14C standardized radio-carbon age according to Stuiver-Polach convention and Accelerator Mass Spectroscopy (AMS) of these wood pieces shows the age to be in a wide range from Early Nasca to the 17th century (and to our epoch with a fake geoglyph, too), thus supporting (but surely not proving) the new hypothesis. Moreover, in the Quechua language, the word huasca, waskha (read: uasca) means a rope or cord or place where these are produced. This word is very similar to ‘nasca’.

In aerial photogrammetry, the Cartesian coordinate system for the description of object space is commonly used. In contrast, many projects have to be processed in the space combined by the composition of a map projection and Vertical datum. In that space, some geometric deformations exist. There are some compensative methods for active and passive sensors. In the case of active sensors, decomposition and the correction of observation vector for each ground point can be used. We obtain height, horizontal distance and horizontal angle in this process. All of these values should be corrected for precise georeferencing. The contribution deals with the derivation of the corrections and gets some theoretical values from the area of the Czech Republic.

Iconographic sources depicting Thirty Years’ War battlefields in the Czech lands can be found in historical graphic works printed in the most comprehensive documentary publication of the 17 th century, the Theatrum Europaeum. In this publication, the year 1647 is one of the richest in terms of the number of engravings depicting the course of the war. In addition, the Swedish campaign of the same year left behind the most numerous and best preserved traces in the landscape of the Czech lands. The paper focuses primarily on engravings related to war events at the locations of Cheb, Třebel and Tepla. It presents interim results of interdisciplinary research of these iconographic sources, which involves the tools of spatial analyses, digital terrain modelling and also new possibilities of airborne laser scanning data processing. The main aims of the research, which are also being implemented, are the confirmation of depicted localities and their localization; analyses of the scale and geometrical precision of displayed landscape; estimates of visibility and methods of creating the source materials for engravings; and a detailed comparison with other contemporary or current cartographic sources.

Reprojecting raster maps from one projection to another is an essential part of many cartographic processes (map comparison, overlays, data presentation, ...) and reducing the required computational time is desirable and often significantly decreases overall processing costs. The raster reprojection process operates per-pixel and is, therefore, a good candidate for GPU-based parallelization where the large number of processors can lead to a very high degree of parallelism. We have created an experimental implementation of the raster reprojection with GPU-based parallelization (using OpenCL API). During the evaluation, we compared the performance of our implementation to the optimized GDAL and showed that there is a class of problems where GPU-based parallelization can lead to more than sevenfold speedup.
