Urban scene description for a multi scale classication of high resolution imagery case of Cape Town urban Scene
In this paper, a multi level contextual classification approach of the City of Cape Town, South Africa is presented. The methodology developed to identify the different objects using the multi level contextual technique comprised three important phases.

Urban scene parsing via low-rank texture patches
Automatic 3-D reconstruction of city scenes from ground, aerial, and satellite imagery is a difficult problem that has seen active research for nearly two decades. The problem is difficult because many algorithms require salient areas in the image to be identified and segmented, a task that is …

Contesting the Secular and Converting Space in Berlin? Becoming Jewish in an Urban Scene.
… ethnographic field which I construe as a scene. Focusing on a choir, and its connections to a synagogue and a queer Shabbat event, I investigate ‘how the scene constitutes itself as Jewish’. Combining ethnography with biographical-narrative interviews, I present how this scene is enacted …

Context based detection of urban land use zones
… zoning system based on the context of an urban scene. Automated zoning is an important step toward improving object extraction in an urban scene.

Controlled environments : the case of Rio de Janeiro
… result one can see increased subdivision of the urban fabric into virtual miniature cities. These secluded residential pockets are a tentative answer to a pervasive need for security and control, which is significantly disrupting the traditional form of the city. The study concludes that, as …

In Search of Forms in the Design of an Urban Intervention
Urban Interventions are too often regarded by long-time inhabitants of city neighborhoods as a means to displace them from their homes to make room for expensive chain stores and exclusive residential buildings - gentrification. This view is unfortunately correct more often than not. An …

Low-rank Based Algorithms for Rectification, Repetition Detection and De-noising in Urban Images
… and repeated patterns detection on 2D urban images, using novel low-rank based techniques. Repeated patterns (such as windows, tiles, balconies and doors) are prominent and significant features in urban scenes.</p> <p>Detection of the periodic structures is useful in many applications …

Irish women in the United States 1870-1914 : a case study: factory workers
… values once they reached the highly industrial urban scene of the factory? Or did these values disintegrate under the strain of change? Did these women develop a new set of values? Or did their traditional values stretch to encompass the new demands of city and factory, retaining their initial …

Towards Observable Urban Visual SLAM
… acquisition. However, for applications in urban environments, where the camera-mounted vehicle moves along a straight line direction towards the road scene, a large number of features suffer difficulty in depth estimation due to their small parallax angles, as a result the classical V-SLAM …

Feature Extraction Workflows for Urban Mobile-Terrestrial LiDAR Data
… space that was scanned, or not, in an urban scene. It offers new avenues for quality assessment of MTL survey of urban environments by explicitly displaying gaps in data coverage. A number of techniques for navigating and visualizing data from a sensor-perspective are examined. A novel …

Daniel H. Burnham: his legacy to American architecture
… this particular architect had enormous impact on urbanism in the United States. The development of Burnham's design style and his approach to urban planning will be evaluated by considering three of his built designs: The Rookery Building, Chicago (1888), the Fuller Building, New York City …

An Augmented Reality System for Urban Environments using a Planar Building Fa�cade Model
… the creation a comprehensive 3D model of a scene. This can be intensive to compute and the storage of this data can become a problem when the system is required to work over the scale of a citywide area. This thesis presents a mobile AR navigation system that uses a planar based …

Neural Representation for 3D Building Reconstruction from Point Clouds
The continuous rise in urban growth has underscored the importance of airborne LiDAR point clouds (APCs) for efficient/cost effective urban planning, management, and development. However, the delineation and modeling of 3D objects -- specifically buildings -- from APCs pose significant challenges …

A strategy of memory : Suzhou, China
… trying to establish a strategy of memory for the urban preservation of old cities, like Suzhou, within the context of the rapid growing economy in Southern China. The general attitude towards the problem starts from a critical viewpoint which acquires a sharp, yet fair, evaluation of the existing …

Vision by alignment
… and locations of occluding objects in an outdoor urban scene. I used the results of the effort to refine the requirements of mechanisms to use in building alignment models. -- I implemented an alignment model based on neural networks. Alignment-motivated design empowers the model, trained to …

Exploring structural regularities for robust 3D reconstruction of urban scenes
… the problem of inferring 3D structures of urban scenes from 2D images has recently drawn a lot of interest in the computer vision community. Despite the extremely rich literature in multiple view geometry and structure from motion (SFM), reconstructing large-scale high-quality 3D urban …

Shaping density : how can high density form yield good urban places?
… lays the foundations for a very high-density urban development of approximately 130-140 dwellings per hectare. However, the actual numbers depend on a variety of inconsistent forces, such as the changing socio-political and economic climate and how these will modify the existing site. What …

A regional study of American genre painting from 1830-1880
… meaning, the genre painter records everyday scenes from life in a non-historical, impersonal manner. This was the time characterized by the rise of the common man; the moment when Jeffersonian principles were furthered by the President of the people, Andrew Jackson. Now many American artists …
