Rio de Janeiro's urban environment has its own complexities if compared to other large cities in Brazil and in the world. In addition to its peculiar topographic structure, the history of the city – from its foundation to the present day – led to unique and contradictory characteristics. Multipurpose Land Cadastre (MLC, in Portuguese: Cadastro Técn...

This article aims to present to the academic community and to the teaching community in general a possibility of engaging students in the process of learning mathematical concepts through the usage of geoinformation technologies easily available on electronic devices such as cell phones or tablets. The development of this research starts with a bri...

Spatially explicit information on urban tree species distribution is crucial for green infrastructure management in cities. This information is usually acquired with ground-based surveys, which are time-consuming and usually cover limited spatial extents. The combination of machine learning algorithms and remote sensing images has been hailed as a...

In this article, I present a brief theological analysis of popular faith healing practices in Brazil widely known as benzeção, by analyzing how they evolved as a response to the absence of medical care in many remote areas of the country, but also as a consequence of a lack of necessary pastoral care for the sick and public liturgies of healing unt...

In June 2018, the Igreja Episcopal Anglicana do Brasil’s (IEAB) General Synod voted, by an overwhelming majority, to amend its canons by redefining marriage as a ‘lifelong union between two people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity’. ² In this essay, I intend to describe the process that led to such decision both as the result of...

This article intends to propose a certain set of principles behind the idea of sacred space. In that regard, two important analogies are addressed: worship space as a heavenly house and worship space as a heavenly stage. It provides a brief overlook on the history of worship spaces and seeks to reclaim the idea of liturgical space as holy stage, wh...

Imagens orbitais de alta resolução já são de uso habitual para profissionais degeotecnologias, pois há muito potencial para o mapeamento urbano a partir doprocessamento fotogramétrico dessas imagens. Tendo em vista a necessidade deatualização da base vetorial do Instituto Pereira Passos (IPP), o objetivo principaldesse trabalho de conclusão de curs...

This article provides a first look at the 2015 Book of Common Prayer produced by the Igreja Episcopal Anglicana do Brasil (in English, Episcopal Anglican Church of Brazil). This is the newest Book of Common Prayer published by an Anglican province, featuring some aspects that go beyond what has been done in terms of liturgical revision around the A...

The municipality of Rio de Janeiro needs a unified geodetic network in order to support its fundamental activities of cartographic support and cadastral surveying. This fact is corroborated by the city’s intense growth and human activity, which led to the destruction of many marks implemented throughout the 20th century. In order to consolidate a f...

A geodetic network is composed by a set of points physically marked on the Earth’s surface, with its coordinates referenced to a geodetic reference system. The municipality of Rio de Janeiro, throughout the twentieth century, has mapped a series of reference points of many different kinds, but has not verified such network for more than two decades...

This work intends to present the Scenes Theory as a possibility of analysis of the correlation between the geospatial distribuition of consumption patterns and manifold urban cultural profiles. The aforementioned methodology, initially developped at the University of Chicago, intends to trace quantitative analyses between cultural standards of diff...

This paper shows the current efforts in order to develop a digital photogrammetric softcopy kit which intends to provide a link between theory and practice in the field of Photogrammetry. These efforts have started in 2002, with the development of the first modules of the E-Foto kit: image viewer, project configuration, camera parameters, interior...

The academic community has been experiencing the benefits of the development of Free-software in many areas of knowledge. However, Digital Photogrammetry is a field that remains practically unexplored. One of the few exceptions is the E-FOTO project which aims to developing a Digital Photogrammetric Workstation (DPW) for educational purposes. This...

This paper describes the first steps towards the development of a system cPble of measuring theree dimensional coordenates from a pair photogrammetric images, digital or digitalized. This prototype has, as its main features, the edition of the images (conversion of colors, extraction of colors and zoom), interior orientation, exterior orientation,...

This paper describes the current development of a set of photogrammetric software, with the aim to develop an educational photogrammetric softcopy kit. Its main objective is to diminish the gap that exists nowadays between the teaching of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing in universities and Research Institutions of developing countries and the hig...
