The relationship between visitor behavior and the park landscape is complex. Influences of some features on are unconfirmed change with time space, which always confuses architects managers. These spatiotemporal dependent effects were less studied. To understand this influence, an empirical study was conducted in 10 representative parks across West Lake Scenic Area Hangzhou, China. A system for...

The study investigated the rarely addressed topic of how visual environmental features can influence walking speed. Young adult participants were asked to walk on a route that leads through areas composed urban parks and with built environment large amount greenery. Their speed was measured in selected sections. walked small video camera, their recorded. temporal information derived from record...

Private gardens provide vital opportunities for people to interact with nature. The most popular form of interaction is through garden bird feeding. Understanding how landscape features and seasons determine patterns of movement of feeder-using songbirds is key to maximising the well-being benefits they provide. To determine these patterns we established three networks of automated data loggers...

We investigate the potential of combined features of aerial images and high-resolution interferometric SAR (InSAR) data for building detection in urban areas. It is shown that completeness and correctness may be increased if we integrate both InSAR double-bounce lines and 3D lines of stereo data in addition to building hints of a single optical orthophoto. In order to exploit context informatio...

This paper seeks to pinpoint the consequences of core principles flat ontology for so-called expanded urban planning, on basis four case studies at local level in Nordic countries. However, these not only represent realms, as they are embedded glocal networks. Urban development takes place them through different forms self-organisation, primarily outside formal planning processes and official i...

Autonomous vehicles rely on the accurate estimation of their pose, speed and direction of travel to perform basic navigation tasks. Although GPSs are very useful, they have some drawbacks in urban applications. Visual odometry is an alternative or complementary method, because it uses a sensor already available in many vehicles for other tasks and provides the ego motion of the vehicle with eno...
