However, existing estimated models often have limited applicability to specific traffic conditions, while the required parameters may not be readily available for city-wide collection. This paper proposes a data-driven approach for measuring road-level acoustic information of traffic with street view imagery. Specifically, we utilize portable vehicle-equipped hardware for in-situ noise acquisition and employ a deep learning model ResNet to learn high-level visual features from street view images that are closely associated with road traffic noise. The ResNet captures meaningful patterns from the input data, and the output probability vectors are then fed into a Random-Forest regression algorithm to quantitatively estimate the noise in decibels for different road segments. The MAE and RMSE of the DCNN-RF model are 2.01 and 2.71, respectively. Additionally, we employ a gradient-weighted Class Active Mapping approach to visually interpret our deep learning model and explore the significant elements in streetscapes that contribute to the model's estimations. Our proposed framework facilitates low-cost and fine-scale road traffic noise estimations and sheds light on how auditory information could be inferred from street imagery, which may benefit practices in geography and urban planning.Keywords: Road traffic noisestreet view imagerydeep learningbuild environmenturban planning AcknowledgmentThe authors would like to thank Urli for the valuable advice provided during the initial stages of the experiment and Mr. Mengze Gao for designing and 3D-printing the enclosure for the data acquisition device.

Both were then applied to a Brexit case study and compared, with MGWR marginally out-performing GGP-GAM. The theoretical frameworks and implementation of both approaches are discussed: GWR models calibrate multiple models whereas GAMs provide a full single model; GAMs can automatically penalise local collinearity; GWR-based approaches are computationally more demanding; MGWR is still only for Gaussian responses; MGWR bandwidths are intuitive indicators of spatial heterogeneity. GGP-GAM calibration and tuning are also discussed and areas of future work are identified, including the creation of a user-friendly package to support model creation and coefficient mapping, and to facilitate ease of comparison with alternate SVC models.

Although geostatistical methods are widely used for multivariate spatial interpolation, these methods usually require second-order stationary assumption of spatial processes, which is difficult to satisfy in practice. We developed a new multivariate spatial interpolation method based on Yang-Chizhong filtering (CoYangCZ) to overcome this limitation. CoYangCZ does not solve the multivariate spatial interpolation problem from a purely statistical point of view but integrates geometry and statistics-based strategies. First, we used a weighted moving average method based on binomial coefficients (i.e. Yang-Chizhong filtering) to fit the spatial autocorrelation structure of each spatial variable from a geometric perspective. We then quantified the spatial autocorrelation of each spatial variable and the correlations between different spatial variables by analyzing the variances of different spatial variables. Finally, we obtain the best linear unbiased estimators at the unsampled locations. Experiments on air pollution and meteorological datasets show that CoYangCZ has a higher interpolation accuracy than cokriging, regression kriging, gradient plus-inverse distance squared, sequential Gaussian co-simulation, and the kriging convolutional network. CoYangCZ can adapt to second-order non-stationary spatial processes; therefore, it has a wider scope of application than purely statistical methods.Keywords: Multivariate spatial processesspatial interpolationYang Chizhong filteringgeostatistics AcknowledgementsWe gratefully acknowledge the comments from the editor and the reviewers.Author contributionsQiliang Liu, Yongchuan Zhu, and Jie Yang conceived and designed the presented idea.

The latter is related to delineation of spatially connected regions with homogeneous relationships between variables (spatial regimes). Although various regionalization algorithms have been proposed and studied in the field of spatial analytics, methods to optimize spatial regimes have been largely unexplored. In this paper, we propose two new algorithms for spatial regime delineation, two-stage K-Models and Regional-K-Models. We also extend the classic Automatic Zoning Procedure to a spatial regression context. The proposed algorithms are applied to a series of synthetic datasets and two real-world datasets. Results indicate that all three algorithms achieve superior or comparable performance to existing approaches, while the two-stage K-Models algorithm largely outperforms existing approaches on model fitting, region reconstruction and coefficient estimation. Our work enriches the spatial analytics toolbox to explore spatial heterogeneous processes.Keywords: Regionalizationspatial heterogeneityspatial regimespatial regression NotesAcknowledgmentsThe authors thank members of Spatial Analysis Group, Spatio-temporal Social Sensing Lab for helpful discussion.

(Citation2012), Folch and Spielman (Citation2014), Wei et al. (Citation2021)).2 Note that the optimization of spatial regimes differs from Openshaw (Citation1978), where spatial units are aggregated into areas, and each area is treated as an observation in a global regression model.3 Note that in EquationEquation 1(1) L(R)=∑j=1p∑1≤i1<i2≤nI[ui1,ui2∈Rj]||xi1−xi2||2,(1) , the number of considered unit pairs in the sum is ∑j=1M(|Rj|2), which is smaller if |Rj|(j=1,…,M) are close to each other. Hence the objective function might favor solutions whose regions have similar numbers of units.4 Throughout the paper, we describe the case of lattice data (spatial data on areal units). Our approach is also applicable to point observation data after building adjacency (with k-nearest neighbors (KNN) or Delaunay triangulation, for example).5 This usually happens when min_obs is close to n/p, where p is the number of regions. Given min_obs≪n/p, this issue does not cause problems, as observed in our experiments.6 If a region with inadequate units has two or more neighboring regions, we select the neighbor which minimizes the total SSR after the merge.7 When min_obs is too large or K is too small (close to p), exceptions may occur that the number of","PeriodicalId":14162,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Geographical Information Science","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135859064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As trajectory is essentially a sequence, many scholars use the sequence inference models to mine the information in trajectory data. However, such methods often ignored the spatial correlation between trajectory points and implemented the evaluation based only on representative feature statistics selected in the trajectory data preprocessing stage, thus have difficulties in acquiring high-order traveling pattern features. In this study, we propose a novel ensemble recognition method for representing trajectory data with the graph structure based on sequence and dependency relations. This method integrates the sequence of trajectory points and the correlation between characteristic points of a travel path into a fused graph convolutional network to obtain semantic feature information at multiple levels. We validate our proposed method with experiments on the trajectory benchmark dataset from the Microsoft GeoLife project. The results demonstrated that our proposed graph network outperforms other baseline methods in the transportation mode recognition task of trajectories. This method can help to discover the movement patterns of urban residents, and further provide effective assistance for the management of cities.Keywords: Trajectory datagraph convolution networktransportation mode recognitionfeature extractionfeature fusion AcknowledgmentsThe authors are grateful to the associate editor, Urska Demsar, and the anonymous referees for their valuable comments and suggestions.

However, the application of deep learning in social sciences and human geography remains limited, primarily due to concerns with model explainability. In this study, we employ an explainable GeoAI approach called geographically localized interpretable model-agnostic explanation (GLIME) to explore human mobility patterns over large spatial and temporal extents. Specifically, we develop a two-layered long short-term memory (LSTM) model capable of predicting individual-level residential mobility patterns across the United States from 2012 to 2019. We leverage GLIME to provide geographical perspectives and interpret deep neural networks at the state level. The results reveal that GLIME enables spatially explicit interpretations of local impacts attributed to different variables. Our findings underscore the significance of considering path dependency in residential mobility dynamics. While the prediction of complex human spatial decision-making processes still presents challenges, this research demonstrates the utility of deep neural networks and explainable GeoAI to support human dynamics understanding.

While advanced machine learning models could be trained, they require large labeled training datasets that can be time-consuming and labor-intensive to create.

In this work, we present the Conditional Adversarial Trajectory Synthesis (CATS), a deep-learning-based GeoAI methodological framework for privacy-preserving trajectory data generation and publication. CATS applies K-anonymity to the underlying spatiotemporal distributions of human movements, which provides a distributional-level strong privacy guarantee. By leveraging conditional adversarial training on K-anonymized human mobility matrices, trajectory global context learning using the attention-based mechanism, and recurrent bipartite graph matching of adjacent trajectory points, CATS is able to reconstruct trajectory topology from conditionally sampled locations and generate high-quality individual-level synthetic trajectory data, which can serve as supplements or alternatives to raw data for privacy-preserving trajectory data publication. The experiment results on over 90k GPS trajectories show that our method has a better performance in privacy preservation, spatiotemporal characteristic preservation, and downstream utility compared with baseline methods, which brings new insights into privacy-preserving human mobility research using generative AI techniques and explores data ethics issues in GIScience.Keywords: Geoprivacygenerative adversarial networkhuman mobilityGeoAIsynthetic data generation AcknowledgmentThe authors acknowledge the funding support provided by the American Family Insurance Data Science Institute Funding Initiative at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
