Order Matters: 3D Shape Generation from Sequential VR Sketches
Yizi Chen, Sidi Wu, Tianyi Xiao +2
VR sketching lets users explore and iterate on ideas directly in 3D, offering a faster and more intuitive alternative to conventional CAD tools. However, existing sketch-to-shape m…
Deep learning enables urban change profiling through alignment of historical maps
Sidi Wu, Yizi Chen, Maurizio Gribaudi +4
Prior to modern Earth observation technologies, historical maps provide a unique record of long-term urban transformation and offer a lens on the evolving identity of cities. Howev…
Generative AI in Map-Making: A Technical Exploration and Its Implications for Cartographers
Claudio Affolter, Sidi Wu, Yizi Chen +1
Traditional map-making relies heavily on Geographic Information Systems (GIS), requiring domain expertise and being time-consuming, especially for repetitive tasks. Recent advances…
An Efficient System for Automatic Map Storytelling -- A Case Study on Historical Maps
Ziyi Liu, Claudio Affolter, Sidi Wu +2
Historical maps provide valuable information and knowledge about the past. However, as they often feature non-standard projections, hand-drawn styles, and artistic elements, it is…
A roadmap for generative mapping: unlocking the power of generative AI for map-making
Sidi Wu, Katharina Henggeler, Yizi Chen +1
Maps are broadly relevant across various fields, serving as valuable tools for presenting spatial phenomena and communicating spatial knowledge. However, map-making is still largel…
