Large-scale urban infrastructure projects are essential, yet they often introduce prolonged disruptions that affect residents’ perceived wellbeing. Existing research has demonstrated temporary declines in wellbeing during construction periods,...
As urban environments become increasingly interconnected, the demand for precise and efficient pedestrian solutions in digitalized smart cities has grown significantly. This study introduces a scalable spatial visualization system designed to enhance...
The inhabitants of Latacunga living in the surrounding of the Cotopaxi volcano (Ecuador) are exposed to several hazards and related disasters. After the last 2015 volcanic eruption, it became evident once again how important it is for the exposed pop...
Traditional single neural network-based geo-localization methods for cross-view imagery primarily rely on polar coordinate transformations while suffering from limited global correlation modeling capabilities. To address these fundamental challenges...
In the educational context, there currently emerges a growing research interest in using mobile augmented reality (AR) and the gamification concept to promote environmental education (EE). However, to date, scant attention has been paid to practicall...
Citizens in urban areas are exposed to multiple environmental stressors like noise, heat, and air pollution, with impact on human health. There is a great deal of evidence that connects human health, objective environmental exposure, and place of res...
This review article aims to address common research questions in passive polarized vision for robotics. What kind of polarization sensing can we embed into robots? Can we find our geolocation and true north heading by detecting light scattering from...
Green spaces, particularly urban parks, provide essential environmental, aesthetic, and recreational benefits to human health, well-being, and happiness. However, traditional forms of investigating people’s perceptions of urban parks, such as q...
Smartphone-based sensing is becoming a convenient way to collect data in science, especially in environmental research. Recent studies that use smartphone sensing methods focus predominantly on single sensors that provide quantitative measurements. H...
As China’s urbanization shifts toward quality-oriented development, urban regeneration increasingly prioritizes the perceived quality of public spaces to enhance urban vitality and advance sustainable urban living. This study takes Zhengzhou&rs...
Sentiment analysis (SA) is a technique aimed at extracting opinions and sentiments through the analysis of text, often used in healthcare research to understand patients’ needs and interests. Data from social networks, such as Twitter, can prov...
Cross-view geo-localization (CVGL) aims to determine the capture location of street-view images by matching them with corresponding 2D maps, such as satellite imagery. While recent bird’s eye view (BEV)-based methods have advanced this task by...
Within the objectives of the H2020 DIAMOND project, the paper investigates women’s needs and expectations as users of the bike-sharing service managed by Syndicat Mixte Autolib et Velib Métropole in the territory of Paris Region-Petite Couronne (Fran...
This study explores the diversity in emotional tendencies and needs toward urban green spaces (UGSs) among people from different cultural backgrounds in the wave of cultural integration. We utilized social media data as research tools, gathering a wi...

Mosquitoes represent a considerable nuisance and are actual/potential vectors of human diseases in Europe. Costly and labour-intensive entomological monitoring is needed to correct planning of interventions aimed at reducing nuisance and the risk of...
The expansion and evolution of urban areas are the most perceptible manifestations of the transformation of the urban spatial form. This study uses remote sensing images of Nanjing from 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021, along with socio-economic data...
The massive impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has left no one indifferent, becoming an unprecedented challenge. The use of protections such as sanitary masks has become increasingly common, restrictions in our daily lives, such as social distanc...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) Soil Moisture Active–Passive (SMAP) radiometer has been providing geolocated power moments measured within a 24 MHz band in the protected portion of L-band, i.e., 1400&nda...
The growing use of social media data has opened new avenues for understanding user perceptions and operational inefficiencies in transportation systems. Among the most widely adopted analytical approaches for extracting insights from these data are s...
Spatial cognition refers to the mental processing, perception, and interpretation of spatial information. It is often operationalized through self-assessments like sense of direction and mental rotation ability or field-based real-world tasks like po...
Overtaking relies heavily on the driver’s attention and cognitive state, and illegal overtaking can lead to accidents, severe injuries, or fatalities. To enhance highway safety, we propose a method for accurately detecting illegal overtaking on...

Food environments (the interfaces between consumers and the broader food system) shape dietary change and associated health outcomes. Characteristics of food environments (e.g., availability, accessibility, affordability, convenience, desirability) c...
The primary aim of this study is to validate the utility of Social Media Data (SMD) as a scientifically grounded tool for quantifying the spatial mismatch between objective ecological supply and subjective social demand. Assessing the spatial couplin...
