In the process of global transportation, many value chains which have different business process, system and technology level respectively are connected to each other. To obtain end-to-end visibility of transportation, these kind of discrepancy has to be solved appropriately. In this paper, the realization of global visibility is discussed in three point of view such as 'Data Sourcing', 'System integration' and 'System Operation'. First, the data sources of global visibility are described especially from the point of enterprise applications view, and then system integration is presented using various current e-commerce technologies for example XML, EDI and so on. Finally, flexible operation of visibility function is suggested which satisfies different goals of each value chain.

The objective of this study is to evaluate and improve the capability of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model in simulating fog and visibility in local airports over Korea. The WRF model system is statistically evaluated for the 48-fog cases over Korea from 2003 to 2006. Based on the 4-yr evaluations, attempts are made to improve the simulation skill of fog and visibility over Korea by revising the statistical coefficients in the visibility algorithms of the WRF model. A comparison of four existing visibility algorithms in the WRF model shows that uncertainties in the visibility algorithms include additional degree of freedom in accuracy of numerical fog forecasts over Korea. A revised statistical algorithm using a linear-regression between the observed visibility and simulated hydrometeors and humidity near the surface exhibits overall improvement in the visibility forecasts.

Academic libraries are at the forefront of supporting their parent institutions in teaching and learning, research activities, and community services for the students and faculty members, but, the researchers observed that some of the research emanating from faculty members in academic institutions particularly universities remains largely unknown, unrecognized and invisible on the global scene. This present paper is therefore a modest attempt towards addressing the issue of enhancing the faculty research visibility in the institutions of higher learning by the academic libraries. It also examines the extent academic libraries in public universities in Nigeria use research visibility channels to increase the global visibility of their faculty members. Difficulties encountered by librarians and ways of tackling the visibility of the faculty were also examined. A descriptive survey research design was adopted and the population consisted of all the 162 librarians in public universities in South-East (S.E), Nigeria. Telephone calls and Online Questionnaire were used for data collection. The number of librarians was obtained through phone calls from the Heads of each of the Libraries. The Online Questionnaire was submitted to the WhatsApp platforms of librarians in Nigeria- Academic and Research Libraries (ARL) and Chartered Librarians in Nigeria Connect (CLN-Connect). The questionnaire was structured in such a way that only the Librarians in Public universities in the S.E. Nigeria will respond to it. At the end of the day only 120 librarians responded, at a response rate of 74%. The study was analysed using tables, percentages and charts. The study recommended that librarians who are unaware of RVCs and its utilization should go for training to acquire the knowledge that will enable them enhance the global visibility of faculty staff, Management of Public universities in S.E, Nigeria should in addition to addressing copyright issues by the use of disclaimer notices and creative common licensing and provision of infrastructural facilities e.g. steady power supply, High power brand Internet connectivity, establishment of an Institutional Repository, etc, also should mandate the faculty staff to release their productive work to the library for onward submission to the RVCs platforms for enhancement of their global visibility.

Path-planning, a critical component of mobile robot navigation, comprises both local and global planning. Previous studies primarily focused on enhancing the individual performance of these planners, avoiding obstacles, and computing an optimal global path from a starting position to a target position. In this study, we introduce a practical path-planning framework that employs a target planner to bridge the local and global planners; this enables mobile robots to navigate seamlessly and efficiently toward a global target position. The proposed target planner assesses the visibility of waypoints along the global path, and it selects a reachable navigation target, which can then be used to generate efficient control commands for the local planners. A visibility-based target planner can handle situations, wherein the current, target waypoint is occupied by unknown obstacles. Real-world experiments demonstrated that the proposed pathplanning framework with the visibility-based target planner allowed the robot to navigate to the final target position along a more efficient path than the framework without a target planner.

Contrast enhancement in the field of ultrasound imaging contributes to improve the accuracy of medical diagnosis by enhancing the visibility of ultrasound images. This paper proposes a contrast enhancement method that improves the contrast of ultrasound images both globally and locally by fusing global and adaptive contrast enhancement methods. Experimental results show that our approach yields more competitive results than the existing global and adaptive contrast enhancement methods in enhancing the visibility of ultrasound images.

Global illumination is key factor for realistic image but it is not common in realtime rendering due to its complexity. Visibility of $2^{nd}$ lights is hard to determine because we should process all object for each $2^{nd}$ light. In this paper, we reuse visibility of static objects. We present an indirect illumination algorithm which shows good performance and provides exact $2^{nd}$ light visibility when the scene has small number of moving objects. Our method renders correct image while showing good performance.

This paper presents a global path planning algorithm based on a visibility graph method, and applies additionally various constraints for constructing the reduced visibility graph. The modification algorithm for generating the rounded path is applied to the globally shortest path of the visibility graph using the robot size constraint in order to avoid the obstacle. In order to check the visibility in given 3D map data, 3D CAD data with VRML format is projected to the 2D plane of the mobile robot, and the projected map is converted into an image for easy map analysis. The image processing are applied to this grid map for extracting the obstacles and the free space. Generally, the tree size of visibility graph is proportional to the factorial of the number of the corner points. In order to reduce the tree size and search the shortest path efficiently, the various constraints are proposed. After short paths that crosses the corner points of obstacles lists up, the shortest path among these paths is selected and it is modified to the combination of the line path and the arc path for the mobile robot to avoid the obstacles and follow the rounded path in the environment. The proposed path planning algorithm is applied to the mobile robot LCAR-III.

GNSS(Global navigation Satellite system) is the system which determines the users' position using the navigation satellites. The position determination using GNSS has to be always Possible to appling GNSS to railway system widely. Especially, to apply GNSS to the safety-critical application, such as train control system, the satellite's visibility has to be always secured. This study describes the necessity of visibility analysis and the method. And also the visibility analysis of the stand-alone GNSS and the integration GNSS are performed and the applicability of GNSS for train control application is analysed.

Recently, China officially declared to operate its satellite positioning system, Beidou so called Compass. The system is currently having 10 orbiting satellites which regionally cover from Australia to Russia in the north. Moreover, the system will be planed not only to launch 6 navigation satellites in its orbit in 2012 but also to complete the system with 35 satellites in 2020. The China satellite navigation system can affect to the current circumstance of global satellite navigation world in terms of navigation parameters. In this paper, we investigate characteristics of multi-integrated GNSS involving Beidu-Compass system and discuss general issues involving visibility and GDOP.

Radiosity method is a global illumination model for image synthesis. It computes all energy interactions among diffuse elements in a virtual environment. One of the major drawbacks if its time consuming computation. Existing radiosity algorithms for static scene is difficult to be applicable to dynamic environments. In this paper we proposed an hierarchical scene partition scheme to speedup the link update computations in the dynamic environments. Since the proposed spatial data structure is global, it not only can be used to speedup the culling of non-affected links after geometry change, but also can be used to accelerate the subsequent visibility computation. Several empirical tests are given to show the efficiency of our improved algorithm.
