In this paper we show how based on a number of different techniques it is possible to fully automatically generate basic ingredients for high quality visualizations of urban areas characterized by vertical facade planes from nothing but uncalibrated wide-baseline image sequences without using any markers or ground control. At the core of our algorithms are least-squares matching, projective geo...

This paper examines sports, cultural, historical, and urban geography to analyse hodonyms (names of streets squares) ergonyms hospitality establishments) located in the proximity sports centres. The research whether there is a link between associated with location facilities. starting point this was assumption that spatial influences motivation for naming streets, squares, establishments. Accor...

Transportation sector is one of the major contributors to noise in the urban areas. The traffic noise environment in Balasore, a city of Orissa, India in terms of standard noise indices, community response and community health effects are worked out in the present study. Noise Pollution is assessed in six different squares (road sections) of the town. It is inferred that the noise levels are mo...

Localisation in wireless networks faces challenges such as high levels of signal attenuation and unknown path-loss exponents, especially in urban environments. In response to these challenges, this paper proposes solutions to localisation problems in noisy environments. A new observation model for localisation of static nodes is developed based on hybrid measurements, namely angle of arrival an...

Urban montane valleys are often characterized by periodic wintertime temperature inversions (cold air pools) that increase atmospheric particulate matter concentrations, potentially stimulating the deposition of major ions to these snow-covered ecosystems. We assessed spatial and temporal patterns of ion concentrations in snow across urban to montane gradients in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, and ...

Bujumbura city has diversified but unevenly distributed green spaces. The typology and anthropogenic disturbances of these spaces are still unknown. This study presents a along the urban–rural gradient through literature review. It assesses presence inventories in 100 m × grids. Data reveal that Bujumbura’s made up squares concentrated exclusively urban areas, cemeteries present peri-urban area...

Increasingly, public open spaces are gaining importance for human well-being in dense, urban areas. In inner city locations, squares can provide easy access to greenery and thus encourage social encounters. Microclimatic conditions influence the squares’ attractiveness. However, knowledge is still limited on impact of different layouts squares, particularly vegetation composition thermal comfor...
