This article attempts to establish an urban media storytelling model based on Greimas’ narrative model. Greimas’ narrative model is distinguished into Narrative Schema model and Actantial model. Of course, other contents that reproduced through urban media can also establish storytelling strategies using these. Moreover, it can also be utilized in establishing a storytelling that applies to the...

We have developed a prototype guide system, which was named The Forbidden City Explorer. This system has real-time information sharing functions including image data, chatting, and mutual location information. It gives priority to shared images and chats, supporting a friendly user interface and simple operation methods, especially creating shared images to be used by general people. We applied...

In this study we have looked into the problem of vehicle detection in highresolution satellite images. Based on the input from the local road authorities, we have focused not only on highways, but also on inner city roads, where more clutter is expected. The study site is the city of Oslo, Norway. To do vehicle detection in these areas, we propose an automatic approach consisting of a segmentat...

3D city modelling from airborne imagery includes mainly two parts: (1) image processing procedures and (2) 3D modelling for manmade objects such as buildings, roads and other objects. Line extraction and stereo matching are usually utilized as an image processing procedures. However, there are some issues for automatic man-made object modelling. In particular, spatial data acquisition of buildi...

In his article "Towards an Urban Narrative Layers Approach to Decipher the Language of City Films" François Penz investigates how film narratives may provide us with the perceptual tools to grasp complex urban phenomena. He posits that, in order to elicit the mechanisms that make up the projected image of city films, new analytical tools need to be devised. Penz demonstrates that the cinematic ...

In this paper we present a practical and convenient 2D city mapping and 3D digital surface model construction technique based on data merge of spatial, spectral, and textural information of QuickBird High Resolution Satellite Imagery with precise Digital Surface Model (DSM) information of LiDAR data for an urban area within the city of Cairo. Due to recent increased demand for city mapping from...
