Dense urban areas are subject to dynamic and urgent challenges, exacerbated by anthropogenic forcing. Urban Heat Island heatwaves pose a threat citizens’ comfort, due extreme microclimate conditions. In this panorama, parks represent effective strategies towards more livable comfortable areas. particular, small pocket could aid in the mitigation of such challenges every neighborhood. Indeed, th...

This paper aims to reveal and explain the role of metro stations in a post-socialist metropolis as nodes that determine perception city. By means Lynch-type mental maps, we sought find whether really function perceptual concentrating urban functions traffic, how recent changes built environment induced by neoliberal policy are reflected public perception. The results discussed relation transit-...

Psychophysical experiments show that humans are better at perceiving rotation and expansion than translation [4][8]. These findings are inconsistent with standard models of motion integration which predict best performance for translation. To explain this discrepancy, our theory formulates motion perception at two levels of inference: we first perform model selection between the competing model...

We propose a new method for the visualization of spectral images. It involves a perception-based spectrum segmentation using an adaptable thresholding of the stretched CIE standard observer colormatching functions. This allows for an underlying removal of irrelevant channels, and, consequently, an alleviation of the computational burden of further processings. Principal Components Analysis is t...
