Radar interferometry results in a relatively large volume of data describing the time evolution of permanent scatterers distributed in space. For their analysis, it is necessary to find a suitable method that well supports visual analytics. Due to the main characteristics of these time series, which are the length and annual periodicity caused by the cyclical injection/withdrawal of natural gas, spiral graphs have proved to be a suitable means. The article shows both the visualisation of an individual time series and the visualisation of time series generated for clusters of nearby and similarly behaving points above the map.","PeriodicalId":419801,"journal":{"name":"GIS Ostrava 2022 Earth Observation for Smart City and Smart Region","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123052526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the application, 208 cloudless daily MODIS LST images were used. 90% of these images were utilized in the training step, the remaining 10% were used in the testing step. The average RMSE values of each image ranged from 1.76 o C to 4.41 o C. Results proved the significance of the proposed method in the reconstruction of cloudy MODIS LST pixels even with a small dataset.","PeriodicalId":419801,"journal":{"name":"GIS Ostrava 2022 Earth Observation for Smart City and Smart Region","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127796821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to use spatial analyses and statistical tools to provide an assessment of the impact of heavy vehicular movement on walkability in Krishnanagar municipality in India from the pedestrians’ perspectives. AHP-SWOT methods and walkability index were calculated over 10 road links. The results were verified using field observations and questionnaire surveys. It was observed that due to the absence of separate lanes and minimum scope for road expansion, walking on the roads is significantly impacted, reducing the walkability index on all the major road crossings to less than 0.3. The level of traffic and the externalities by the heavy vehicles’ operation has an effect on different population group of pedestrians. Pedestrians have highly rated the distress due to traffic congestion caused by heavy vehicle operation and reduction of walking space due to encroachment by vehicles as major demotivating factors for walking. The study proposes that, with an opportunity of sufficient road width to support medium/light vehicular flow, re-planning of traffic flow with the help of policy makers, planners and engineers will help towards developing a smart city with multiple sustainable benefits.","PeriodicalId":419801,"journal":{"name":"GIS Ostrava 2022 Earth Observation for Smart City and Smart Region","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132223774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this data availability, many approaches still focus on identifying the annual maximum extent of urban green spaces instead of utilising the entire dense image stack to characterise seasonal dynamics. We aim to temporally inform urban green space delineations, which could be relevant for applications like urban heat mitigation or citizens’ urban green perception. We present a semantic EO data cube approach that allows ad-hoc, browser-based vegetation mapping for custom areas and timespans using transferable semantic models. We demonstrate the approach using a Sentinel-2 semantic EO data cube covering Austria, which makes use of every available Sentinel-2 observation since 2015 and where non-valid observations (e.g. cloud) can be masked out on an individual pixel basis to increase the number of valid observations for shorter timespans rather than relying on image-wide metadata. While we show results for the city of Vienna, the approach is transferrable to anywhere in Austria using the same infrastructure, or any other similar semantic EO data cube worldwide.","PeriodicalId":419801,"journal":{"name":"GIS Ostrava 2022 Earth Observation for Smart City and Smart Region","volume":"2018 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114618004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the decadal urban agglomeration patterns from 2001- to 2020 and critically assesses the relationship between freeway developments, industrial relocation, and population density in the DFW (Dallas Fort Worth) metropolitan area. Landsat satellite imageries, US census, and open-source GIS datasets have been utilized in the study. Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC) algorithm helped generate the vector database, using which Land Use/ Land Cover (LULC) variations were assessed. The calculated overall accuracies of the classified images for 2001, 2011, and 2020 were 93.12%, 91.87%, and 93.12%, and their corresponding kappa coefficients were 0.90, 0.89, and 0.90, respectively. Eventually, buffer generation techniques and summary statistics helped detect potential boom hotspots. Our results indicate that the highway advancement project lures industries, leading to population migration. The LULC variations suggest that the increase in highway infrastructure resulted in a surge in built-up and a decrease in open spaces in District-3 of DFW.","PeriodicalId":419801,"journal":{"name":"GIS Ostrava 2022 Earth Observation for Smart City and Smart Region","volume":"346 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122333582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, it is important to monitor active landslides in order to reduce the risk of damages and casualties. With this in mind, this work presents a procedure to compute landslide displacements through time, by exploiting the availability of open high quality multispectral satellite images. The developed procedure produces maps of displacement magnitude and direction by means of local maximum cross-correlation of Sentinel-2 images. The Ruinon landslide, an active landslide in Upper Valtellina (Northern Italy), was analysed with the developed technique during two different time windows (yearly analysis between 2015 and 2020, monthly analysis in July, August and September 2019). This procedure was designed to be entirely based on free and open-source GIS software and to rely exclusively on open data. These characteristics allow the analysis to be easily replicated, customized, and empowered.","PeriodicalId":419801,"journal":{"name":"GIS Ostrava 2022 Earth Observation for Smart City and Smart Region","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129279015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
