This thesis treats of the development of mobile applications for Windows Mobile platform. It contains a list of other mobile platforms (mobile operating systems) and a comparative table according to selected categories, so that readers can get an idea of other platforms. Part of this thesis is an overview of technologies for development, which is supported by the comparative table. The main objective is to propose a methodology of mobile application development for platform Windows Mobile. To clarify the most important specifics serves the separate chapters describing these specifics. It is about the design of user interface for mobile applications, where attention is placed on the method of operating, because for each method of operating should be a different user interface design. Another specific feature, which is discussed in my thesis, is testing applications in Microsoft Device Emulator V3, this precedes the description of this tool for testing and the possibilities of its settings. To demonstrate the methodology the thesis contains the practical example illustrating the gradual steps corresponding to the phases of the methodology and execution of activities. In the annex are tables describing the various phases of the methodology, a description of their objectives, roles and them associated activities and what are the inputs and outputs of this phase.

Global warming and its effects on the environment call for electrification of the transportation sector. In this effort, the boating industry has not been a pioneer, while being responsible for almost 3 percent of global anthropogenic carbon emissions. In their attempt to help achieve the Swedish Government’s goal of being climate neutral by 2045, the Swedish Sea Rescue Society has launched a project, in cooperation with many different companies and sponsors, which aims at developing an electric hydrofoil rescue boat. However, given the low energy density of batteries compared to liquid fuels and the low availability of chargers at sea, this introduces the problem of range anxiety among the users. Hence, the goal of this thesis is to develop a prototype of a navigation interface with the purpose of mitigating range anxiety to allow sea rescuers to confidently choose the electric rescue boat over the traditional combustion engine boats on their future rescue missions. Three individuals with extensive experience with sea rescue missions and marine navigation were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. The interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Based on the information received from the interviews the thesis presents a prototype of a range prediction interface, using rings on a sea chart to indicate the range of the boat based on a few parameters. The prototype can serve as inspiration for the implementation of a navigation interface for an electrical driven boat in a future phase of the project. We also expect that the thesis will serve as a proof of concept for the consumer market, which, in a hopefully not-too-distant future, moves towards electrification. / Den globala uppvärmningen och dess påverkan på miljön kräver en elektrifiering av transportsektorn. I denna process har båtindustrin inte varit en pionjär, trots att den står för nästan 3 procent av de globala antropogena koldioxitutsläppen. I enlighet med Sveriges Regerings mål att vara klimatneutrala till 2045 har Svenska Sjöräddningssällskapet påbörjat ett projekt, i samarbete med en rad företag och sponsorer, som syftar till att utveckla en elektrisk räddningsbåt. Med tanke på den låga energitätheten hos batterier i jämförelse med flytande bränslen och den låga tillgängligheten av laddare, introducerar denna elektrifiering problemet med räckviddsångest hos användarna. Därmed är målet med avhandlingen att utveckla en prototyp av ett navigeringsgränssnitt som syftar till att mildra räckviddsångesten så att sjöräddarna kan känna sig trygga i att välja den elektriska båten framför de traditionella förbränningsmotorbåtarna på framtida räddningsuppdrag. Tre individer med omfattande erfarenhet av sjöräddningsuppdrag och marin navigation intervjuades med semistrukturerade intervjuer. Intervjuerna analyserades med hjälp av tematisk analys. Baserat på intervjuerna presenteras, I avhandlingen, en prototyp av ett gränssnitt för avståndsbedömning där ringar på ett sjökort används för att indikera båtens räckvidd baserat på några parametrar. Prototypen kan tjäna som inspiration för implementeringen av ett sådant system i en framtida fas av projektet. Vi hoppas också att avhandlingen ska fungera som ett proof-of-concept för konsumentmarknaden, som inom en snar framtid förhoppningsvis går mot elektrifiering.

The work is aimed at finding appropriate methods for observing changes in the status of forest vegetation and its evaluation in the years 1992-2015. The satellite images of the Low Tatras are analyzed by using Time Series technology. Specifically, the images Landsat 4, 5, 7 and 8, for which it is necessary to perform a calibration and an adjustment of input data values to realize the individual vegetation indices, due to the fact that the images are captured by different sensors with different radiometric resolution. From this perspective, the work deals with the possibilities of normalized relative radiometric corrections and search for a particular type of appropriate compensation for Landsat CDR images. Calibrated data sets are evaluated by Time Series of different vegetation indices. The resulting values are evaluated in relation with the occurrence of forest disturbances, eg. wind storms, biological and other pests. The final part is discussion of the results, evaluating the test methods of calibration and suitability of vegetation indices for observing the state of calamity. The App is created for generating the Time Series of Landsat images CDR and for preparing RRN datasets. Key words: Time Series, radiometric correction, atmospheric correction, Landsat CDR, vegetation indices,...

<p>Boomer is a machine that is developed and produced by Atlas Copco Rock Drills AB, which is used for underground mining and tunneling. It is a blast-hole drilling rig equipped with drills that are attached to the arms, called booms, which the rig holds. The machine is controlled and monitored by Atlas Copco’s Rig Control System (RCS), which consists of a number of intelligent units connected in a CAN-net. When developing software for the RCS, a simulator that makes it possible to run the software on an ordinary desktop PC is used. The problem is that there is no intuitive way to see how the booms are oriented, while positioning. Therefore it is desirable to have a 3D visualization of the rig, with focus on the booms, which can be used alongside the simulator to get immediate feedback about the movements of the booms. This report describes the process of developing an application that handles communication with the simulator and the 3D visualization.</p> / <p>Boomer är en maskin som utvecklas och produceras av Atlas Copco Rock Drills AB. Maskinen används vid gruvbrytning och tunnelkonstruktion. Boomer är en spränghålsborrigg som är utrustad med borrar vilka är monterade på riggens armar, kallade bommar. En Boomer övervakas och kontrolleras av Atlas Copcos kontrollsystem, RCS, som är ett system bestående av intelligenta enheter sammankopplade i ett CAN-nät. Vid utveckling av mjukvara till RCS används en simulator som gör det möjligt att köra mjukvaran på en vanlig PC. Problemet är att det inte finns något intuitivt sätt att se hur bommarna är riktade medans de blir positionerade. Därför är det önskvärt med en 3D visualisering av borriggen, med fokus på dess boomar, som kan användas tillsammans med simulatorn för att ge en direkt återkoppling av boomarnas förflyttning. Denna rapport beskriver utvecklingsprocessen för en applikation som hanterar kommunikationen med simulatorn och 3D visualiseringen.</p>

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This thesis presents a study of Visible Near-infrared spectroscopy technique applied to predict soil properties. The purpose was to develop quantitative soil information due to the demand of digital soil mapping, environmental monitoring, agricultural production and for increasing spatial information on soil. Soil spectroscopy emerge as an alternative to revolutionize soil monitoring, allowing rapid, low-cost, non-destructive samples sampling, environmental-friendly, reproducible, and repeatable analysis. To improve the efficiency of soil prediction using spectral data, several spectral preprocessing techniques and multivariate models were exploited. A graphical user interface (GUI) in R, named Alrad Spectra, was developed to perform preprocessing, multivariate modeling and prediction using spectral data. Hereby, the objectives were: The objectives were: i) to predict soil properties to improve soil information using spectral data, ii) to compare the performance of spectral preprocessing and multivariate calibration methods in the prediction of soil organic carbon, iii) to obtain reliable soil organic carbon prediction, and iv) to develop a graphical user interface that performs spectral preprocessing and prediction of the soil property using spectroscopic data. A total of 595 soil samples were collected in central region of Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Soil spectral reflectance was obtained using a FieldSpec 3 spectroradiometer with a spectral range of 350–2500 nm with 1 nm of spectral resolution. The outcomes of the thesis have demonstrated the great performance of predicting soil properties using Vis-NIR spectroscopy. Apparently, soil properties that are directly related to the chromophores such as organic carbon presented superior prediction statistics than particle size. Spectral preprocessing applied in the soil spectra contribute to the development of high-level prediction model. Comparing different spectral preprocessing techniques for soil organic carbon (SOC) prediction revealed that the scatter–corrective preprocessing techniques presented superior prediction results compared to spectral derivatives. In scatter–correction technique, continuum removal is the most suitable preprocessing to be used for SOC prediction. In the calibration modeling, excepting for random forest, all of methods presented robust prediction, with emphasis on the support vector machine method. The systematic methodology applied in this study can improve the reliability of SOC estimation by examining how techniques of spectral preprocessing and multivariate methods affect the prediction performance using spectral analysis. The development of easy-to-use graphical user interface may benefit a large number of users, who will take advantage of this useful chemometrics analysis. Alrad Spectra is the first GUI of its kind and the expectation is that this tool can expand the application of the spectroscopy technique. / Esta tese apresenta um estudo da técnica de espectroscopia do visível ao infravermelho próximo aplicado à predição de propriedades do solo. O proposito foi de desenvolver informações quantitativas sobre o solo, devido à demanda do mapeamento digital de solos, monitoramento ambiental, produção agrícola e aumento das informações espaciais do solo. A espectroscopia surge como uma alternativa para revolucionar a monitorização do solo, permitindo uma amostragem rápida, de baixo custo, não destrutiva, ambientalmente amigável, reprodutível e repetitiva. Para melhorar a eficiência da predição do solo usando dados espectrais, várias técnicas de pré-processamento espectral e modelos multivariados foram explorados. Uma interface gráfica de usuário (GUI) no R, denominada Alrad Spectra, foi desenvolvida para realizar pré-processamento, modelagem multivariada e predição usando dados espectrais. Os objetivos foram: i) predizer as propriedades do solo para melhorar a informação do solo usando dados espectrais, ii) comparar os desempenhos dos pré-processamentos espectrais e métodos de calibração multivariada na predição do carbono orgânico do solo, iii) obter predições confiáveis do carbono orgânico do solo, e iv) desenvolver uma interface gráfica de usuário que realize o pré-processamento espectral e a predição do atributo solo usando dados espectroscópicos. Um total de 595 amostras de solo foram coletadas na região central do estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil. A reflectância espectral do solo foi obtida utilizando um espectrorradiômetro FieldSpec 3 com uma alcance espectral de 350-2500 nm com 1 nm de resolução espectral. Os resultados da tese demonstraram o grande desempenho da predição de propriedades do solo usando espectroscopia do vísivel ao infravermelho próximo. As propriedades do solo que estão diretamente relacionadas aos cromóforos, como o carbono orgânico, apresentaram predições superiores comparados com o tamanho de partículas. O pré-processamento espectral aplicado nos espectros do solo contribui para o desenvolvimento de um modelo de predição de alto nível. Comparando diferentes técnicas de pré-processamento espectral para a predição de carbono orgânico revelou que as técnicas de pré-processamento de correção de dispersão apresentaram resultados de predição superiores em comparação com as técnicas de derivação espectrais. Na técnica de correção de dispersão, a remoção do contínuo é o pré-processamento mais adequado a ser usado para a predição de carbono. Na modelagem de calibração, com exceção da floresta aleatória, todos os métodos apresentaram uma elevada predição, sendo destaque o método máquina de vetores de suporte. A metodologia sistemática aplicada neste estudo pode melhorar a confiabilidade da estimativa do carbono orgânico ao examinar como as técnicas de pré-processamento espectral e métodos multivariados afetam a performance da predição usando a análise espectral. O desenvolvimento da GUI de fácil utilização pode beneficiar um grande número de usuários, os quais podem tirar proveito desta análise quimiométrica. Alrad Spectra é a primeira GUI desse tipo e a expectativa é que esta ferramenta possa expandir a aplicação da técnica de espectroscopia.
