Abstract Digital elevation models (DEMs) are essential tools in environmental science, particularly for hazard assessments and landscape analyses. However, their application across multiple environmental hazards simultaneously remains in need for a multi-aspect critical assessment to promote their effectiveness in comprehensive risk management. This paper aims to review and critically assess the application of DEMs in mapping and managing specific environmental hazards, namely floods, landslides, and coastal erosion. In this regard, it seeks to promote their utility of hazard maps as key tools in disaster risk reduction and environmental planning by employing high-resolution DEMs integrated with advanced More >

Abstract Biometric-based authentication systems have attracted more attention than traditional authentication techniques such as passwords in the last two decades. Multiple biometrics such as fingerprint, palm, iris, palm vein and finger vein and other biometrics have been introduced. One of the challenges in biometrics is physical injury. Biometric of finger vein is of the biometrics least exposed to physical damage. Numerous methods have been proposed for authentication with the help of this biometric that suffer from weaknesses such as high computational complexity and low identification rate. This paper presents a novel method of scattering wavelet-based identity… More >

Abstract The rainstorm is believed to contribute flood disasters in upstream catchments, resulting in further consequences in downstream area due to rise of river water levels. Forecasting for flood water level has been challenging, presenting complex task due to its nonlinearities and dependencies. This study proposes a support vector machine regression model, regarded as a powerful machine learning-based technique to forecast flood water levels in downstream area for different lead times. As a case study, Kelantan River in Malaysia has been selected to validate the proposed model. Four water level stations in river basin upstream were… More >
