Due to the inherent discrete nature of sensing, interpolation is a key activity in sensing. Interpolation in urban computing faces an unprecedented inference issue that was not present in large scale traditional sensing environments. Obstacles such as buildings and walls are prevalent in urban sensing, and it is important to consider them in urban sensing interpolation. This paper introduces an...

While the relationship between fractional cover of built features and the urban heat island (UHI) has been well studied, relationships of how spatial configuration (e.g., clustered, dispersed) of these features influence urban warming are not well understood. As buildings and paved materials are defining features of the urban environment it is important to explore the spatial pattern of these f...
