The Urban Toolkit: A Grammar-based Framework for Urban Visual Analytics
Gustavo Moreira, Maryam Hosseini, Md Nafiul Alam Nipu +3
While cities around the world are looking for smart ways to use new advances in data collection, management, and analysis to address their problems, the complex nature of urban iss…
ProWis: A Visual Approach for Building, Managing, and Analyzing Weather Simulation Ensembles at Runtime
Carolina Veiga Ferreira de Souza, Suzanna Maria Bonnet, Daniel de Oliveira +3
Weather forecasting is essential for decision-making and is usually performed using numerical modeling. Numerical weather models, in turn, are complex tools that require specialize…
Crowdsourcing and Sidewalk Data: A Preliminary Study on the Trustworthiness of OpenStreetMap Data in the US
Kazi Shahrukh Omar, Gustavo Moreira, Daniel Hodczak +2
Sidewalks play a pivotal role in urban mobility of everyday life. Ideally, sidewalks provide a safe walkway for pedestrians, link public transportation facilities, and equip people…
A Comparison of Spatiotemporal Visualizations for 3D Urban Analytics
Roberta Mota, Nivan Ferreira, Julio Daniel Silva +6
Recent technological innovations have led to an increase in the availability of 3D urban data, such as shadow, noise, solar potential, and earthquake simulations. These spatiotempo…
Towards Global-Scale Crowd+AI Techniques to Map and Assess Sidewalks for People with Disabilities
Maryam Hosseini, Mikey Saugstad, Fabio Miranda +3
There is a lack of data on the location, condition, and accessibility of sidewalks across the world, which not only impacts where and how people travel but also fundamentally limit…
Urban Rhapsody: Large-scale exploration of urban soundscapes
Joao Rulff, Fabio Miranda, Maryam Hosseini +5
Noise is one of the primary quality-of-life issues in urban environments. In addition to annoyance, noise negatively impacts public health and educational performance. While low-co…
CitySurfaces: City-Scale Semantic Segmentation of Sidewalk Materials
Maryam Hosseini, Fabio Miranda, Jianzhe Lin +1
While designing sustainable and resilient urban built environment is increasingly promoted around the world, significant data gaps have made research on pressing sustainability iss…
A Visual Analytics System for Profiling Urban Land Use Evolution
Claudio Santos, Maryam Hosseini, João Rulff +5
The growth of cities calls for regulations on how urban space is used and zoning resolutions define how and for what purpose each piece of land is going to be used. Tracking land u…
Sidewalk Measurements from Satellite Images: Preliminary Findings
Maryam Hosseini, Iago B. Araujo, Hamed Yazdanpanah +4
Large-scale analysis of pedestrian infrastructures, particularly sidewalks, is critical to human-centric urban planning and design. Benefiting from the rich data set of planimetric…
UrbanRama: Navigating Cities in Virtual Reality
Shaoyu Chen, Fabio Miranda, Nivan Ferreira +8
Exploring large virtual environments, such as cities, is a central task in several domains, such as gaming and urban planning. VR systems can greatly help this task by providing an…
Transportation Scenario Planning with Graph Neural Networks
Ana Alice Peregrino, Soham Pradhan, Zhicheng Liu +2
Providing efficient human mobility services and infrastructure is one of the major concerns of most mid-sized to large cities around the world. A proper understanding of the dynami…
Urban Mosaic: Visual Exploration of Streetscapes Using Large-Scale Image Data
Fabio Miranda, Maryam Hosseini, Marcos Lage +3
Urban planning is increasingly data driven, yet the challenge of designing with data at a city scale and remaining sensitive to the impact at a human scale is as important today as…
Learning Geo-Contextual Embeddings for Commuting Flow Prediction
Zhicheng Liu, Fabio Miranda, Weiting Xiong +3
Predicting commuting flows based on infrastructure and land-use information is critical for urban planning and public policy development. However, it is a challenging task given th…
Shadow Accrual Maps: Efficient Accumulation of City-Scale Shadows Over Time
Fabio Miranda, Harish Doraiswamy, Marcos Lage +3
Large scale shadows from buildings in a city play an important role in determining the environmental quality of public spaces. They can be both beneficial, such as for pedestrians…
Urban Pulse: Capturing the Rhythm of Cities
Fabio Miranda, Harish Doraiswamy, Marcos Lage +5
Cities are inherently dynamic. Interesting patterns of behavior typically manifest at several key areas of a city over multiple temporal resolutions. Studying these patterns can gr…
