Street view images and taxi trajectories, as forms of urban geographic big data, capture features of the urban physical environment and travel behavior, serving as effective data sources for identifying the functional structure of urban spaces. However, street view and taxi trajectory data often suffer from sparse and uneven distributions, and the differences between features are relatively small in the process of multiple feature fusion, which poses significant challenges to accurate classification of road functions. To address these issues, this study proposes the use of the Louvain algorithm and triplet loss methods to enhance features at the community level, resolving the sparse data distribution problem. Simultaneously, the attention mechanism of the graph attention network is applied to dynamically adjust the feature weights within the road network, capturing subtle differences between different features. The experimental results demonstrate that the effectiveness of feature enhancement and capturing differences has improved the accuracy of calculating complex urban road functional structures. Additionally, this study analyzes the degree of mixing and distribution of road functions and explores the relationship between the road functional structure and traffic.

These disturbances alter the quality and quantity of forest biomass, impacting timber supply and ecosystem services, making them critical to monitor over space and time. The increased accessibility of high frequency revisit, moderate spatial resolution satellite imagery, has led to a subsequent increase in algorithms designed to detect sub-annual change in forested landscapes across broad spatial scales. One such algorithm, the Bayesian Estimator of Abrupt change, Seasonal change, and Trend (BEAST) has shown promise with sub-annual change detection in temperate forested environments. Here, we evaluate the sensitivity of BEAST to detect NSRs across a range of severity levels and disturbance agents in Central British Columbia (BC), Canada. Moderate resolution satellite time series data were utilized by BEAST to produce rasters of change probability, which were compared to the occurrence, severity, and timing of disturbances as mapped by the annual British Columbia Aerial Overview Survey (BC AOS). Differences in the distributions of BEAST probabilities between agents and levels of severity were then compared to undisturbed pixels. In order to determine the applicability of the algorithm for updating forest inventories, BEAST probability distributions of major NSRs (> 5 % of total AOS disturbed area) were compared between consecutive years of disturbances. Cumulatively, all levels of disturbances had higher and statistically significant (p < 0.05) mean BEAST change probabilities compared with historically undisturbed areas. Additionally, 16 disturbance agents observed in the area had higher statistically significant (p < 0.05) probabilities. All major NSRs showed an upwards and statistically significant (p < 0.05) progression of BEAST probabilities over time corresponding to increases in BC AOS mapped area. The sensitivity of BEAST change probabilities to a wide range of NSR disturbance agents at varying intensities suggests promising opportunities for earlier detection of NSRs to inform continuously updating forest inventories and potentially inform adaptation and mitigation actions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50269,"journal":{"name":"ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing","volume":"220 ","pages":"Pages 264-276"},"PeriodicalIF":10.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142874483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, considering the continuously evolving nature of built environments, it is essential to question the capabilities of current mapping efforts in handling temporal changes. In addition to the above, the ability to create spatiotemporal maps holds significant potential for achieving sustainability and circularity goals. Existing mapping approaches focus on small changes, such as object relocation within common living spaces or self-driving car operation in outdoor spaces; all cases where the main structure of the scene remains fixed. Consequently, these approaches fail to address more radical change in the structure of the built environment, such as on the geometry and topology of it. To promote advancements on this front, we introduce the <strong><strong>Nothing Stands Still</strong> (<strong>NSS</strong>)</strong> benchmark, which focuses on the spatiotemporal registration of 3D scenes undergoing large spatial and temporal change, ultimately creating one coherent spatiotemporal map. Specifically, the benchmark involves registering within the same coordinate system two or more partial 3D point clouds (fragments) originating from the same scene but captured from different spatiotemporal views. In addition to the standard task of <em>pairwise</em> registration, we assess <em>multi-way</em> registration of multiple fragments that belong to the same indoor environment and any temporal stage. As part of <strong>NSS</strong>, we introduce a dataset of 3D point clouds recurrently captured in large-scale building indoor environments that are under construction or renovation. The <strong>NSS</strong> benchmark presents three scenarios of increasing difficulty, with the goal to quantify the generalization ability of point cloud registration methods over space (within one building and across buildings) and time.

In recent years, machine learning (ML) techniques have been increasingly used to estimate NSAT, delivering promising results.

Therefore, this study introduces a novel model – TranSAT. TranSAT utilizes a transfer learning (TL) framework, deep neural network (DNN) and U-shape convolutional network (U-Net) to enhance the accuracy of NSAT estimations in regions with sparse observational data. Considering the scarcity of observation stations in certain regions, the Tibetan Plateau within the China's landmass (CNTP) is selected as the study region. The majority of observational stations are concentrated in the eastern and southeastern parts of CNTP, with a significant lack of stations in the northern and western regions. The scarce observations in the CNTP affect NSAT estimation accuracy in recent studies, thus limiting practical applications. The estimated NSAT (i.e., TranSAT NSAT) by TranSAT is evaluated by measurements of 10 independent meteorological stations from the Meteorological network in China's cold region (MSC). Evaluation results indicate an average coefficient of determination (<em>R</em><sup>2</sup>) of 0.92 and a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 2.29 °C. The TranSAT NSAT exhibits an overall decrease of at least 7 % on RMSE compared to existing NSAT datasets, with a more significant enhancement of over 40 % in regions with sparse ground observations.

The second information is geolocation awareness, which means how people’s whereabouts are made available. In this paper, we proposed a novel disaster mapping framework, namely CVDisaster, aiming at simultaneously addressing geolocalization and damage perception estimation using cross-view Street-View Imagery (SVI) and Very High-Resolution satellite imagery.

As a result, we show that CVDisaster can achieve highly competitive performance (over 80% for geolocalization and 75% for damage perception estimation) with even limited fine-tuning efforts, which largely motivates future cross-view models and applications within a broader GeoAI research community.
