We ask whether the photographs published in web-based image collections do represent different conceptualizations of a city. We present a method for gathering and analyzing a data set of more than 12.000 images from Amsterdam, Bamberg, Cardiff, and Dublin. A measure for the popularity of a location in a city is described. The analysis of the data set reveals that the popularity follows a power ...

How to design a city more legible is one of the main problems in urban design. To define the parameters that are crucial in designing legible cities is the main debate of this article. The research methodology was studying mental maps of the city dwellers and comparing the group image of the city with the pattern of continuity of salient elements and integration of the urban axes using Space Sy...

In order to reconstruct missing city including houses, roads and other objects using historical maps, an efficient city modeling is still issue which resolved. In particular, 3D modeling of houses is important issue since houses are important component of historical city model. With this motive, an efficient method for reconstruction of historical city using historical map is proposed by the au...

Day by day we have been heard about the news of vehicle getting stolen from parking or from any other place in the city. So, to keep track of that stolen vehicle we should have to install the CCTV camera on every signal in the city. Also we have to install the number plate detection system which can detect the number plate of every vehicle on the traffic signal. For detecting the number plate f...

Combined processing using different sensor types, i.e. for applications like change detection, requires a good geo-referencing. Furthermore the individual sensor properties have to be taken into account. SAR systems are side-looking and run-time systems. They suffer from occlusions and ambiguities especially in urban areas. Additionally layover and shadow effects disturb the geo-referencing of ...

In this context this paper proposes a conceptual framework for a mapping process in an attempt to survey city blocks where the only sensory input is a single low-cost digital camera. This proof-of-concept measuring process begins with taking images of at least two known geo-referenced control points and involves taking sequential images as the user walks forward around a city block. Each image ...

BackgroundBody image is a determinant of individual attractiveness and physical activity among the young people. This study was aimed to assess the association of Trans-theoretical model based exercise behavior change with body image evaluation among the female Iranian students.Materials and MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in Sanandaj city, Iran in 2016. Using multistage samplin...

nowadays, sar imaging systems have become more interesting for scientists. high spatial resolution of recent sar images has become a key factor for their accurate applications such as interferometry, radargrammetry and change detection. in these applications, sar image matching procedure is a critical step for conjugate point extraction which is much more difficult than the optical images. the ...
