The current literature often values intangibles goods as cultural heritage by applying stated preference methods. In recent years, however, the increasing availability of large (spatial) databases on real estate transactions and listed prices has opened up new research possibilities and has reduced various existing barriers to applications of conventional (spatial) hedonic analysis to the real ...

Libraries have large collections of map documents with rich spatiotemporal information encoded in the visual representation of the map. Currently, historic map content is covered by the provided metadata only to a very limited degree, and thus is not available in a machine-readable form. A formal representation would support querying for and reasoning over detailed semantic contents of maps, in...

Historic (i.e. pre-1919) dwellings in the EU account for around 14% of the total stock (21% in the UK) and must therefore contribute significantly to any long-term energy reduction or carbon saving goal. However, the principle of minimal intervention advocated by heritage conservationists is at odds with the fabric-first approach that energy conservationists propound. It is clear, therefore, th...

The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, we will report on a system that automatically generates a 3D block model from digital aerial images. In this part we will focus on the automatic aerial triangulation and a dense matching process. The second part addresses the augmentation of this 3D block model of a real city with geo-referenced terrestrial data of the facades. The terrestrial...
