The advantages of three dimensional (3D) city models can be seen in various applications including photogrammetry, urban and regional planning, computer games, etc. They expand the visualization and analysis capabilities of Geographic Information Systems on cities, and they can be developed using web standards. However, these 3D city models consume much more storage compared to two dimensional ...

This paper summarises work on low-discrepancy sampling of parametric surfaces and meshes based on use of space-filling curves, and suggests two applications of such work: shape retrieval based on distance histograms, and non-photorealistic stroke-based rendering.

A discrete space-filling curve provides a 1-dimensional indexing or traversal of a multi-dimensional grid space. Applications of space-filling curves include multi-dimensional indexing methods, parallel computing, and image compression. Common goodness-measures for the applicability of space-filling curve families are locality and clustering. Locality reflects proximity preservation that close-...

The Fuzzy ARTMAP algorithm has been proven to be one of the premier neural network architectures for classification problems. One of the properties of Fuzzy ARTMAP, which can be both an asset and a liability, is its capacity to produce new nodes (templates) on demand to represent classification categories. This property allows Fuzzy ARTMAP to automatically adapt to the database without having t...
