Analysis of user activity (traces) in software

The software for public services are always more complex as the regulation evolves constantly and the user requirement continues to refine. Thus, the quality of the software declines, making it more difficult to maintain and use. For example, some anomalies occurring in the production environment cannot be reproduced and therefore cannot be resolved. From the

3D deep learning on terrestrial LiDAR scanned urban environments for objects monitoring

Large urban agglomerations nowadays are facing some major issues such as economic restrictions, environmental challenges, global and systemic approaches in city management [8]. One of them is to precisely monitor urban objects which can be natural (trees), artificial (traffic lights or poles), static or moving (cars). This is essential to analyze their mutual interaction (for
