Airborne laser technology produces point clouds that can be used to build 3D models of buildings. However, the work is a laborious process that could benefit from automation. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely used in automating building segmentation as one of the initial stages in the 3D modeling process. The algorithms with a high success rate using point clouds for automatic semantic segmentation are random forest (RF) and PointNet++, with each algorithm having its own advantages and disadvantages. However, the training and testing data to develop and test the model usually share similar characteristics. Moreover, producing a good automation model requires a lot of training data, which may become an issue for users with a small amount of training data (limited data). The aim of this research is to test the performance of the RF and PointNet++ models in different regions with limited training and testing data. We found that the RF model developed from a small amount data, in different regions between the training and testing data, performs well compared to PointNet++, yielding an OA score of 73.01% for the RF model. Furthermore, several scenarios have been used in this research to explore the capabilities of RF in several cases.

As an important part of urban vitality, street vitality is an external manifestation of street economic prosperity and is affected by the built environment and the surrounding street vitality. However, existing research on the formation mechanism of street vitality focuses only on the built environment itself, ignoring the spatial spillover effect on street vitality. This study uses 5290 street segments in Shenzhen as examples. Utilizing geospatial and other multisource big data, this study creates spatial weight matrices at varying distances based on different living circle ranges. By combining the panel threshold model (PTM) and the spatial panel Durbin model (SPDM), this study constructs a spatial autoregressive threshold model to explore the spatial nonlinear effects of street vitality, considering various spatial weight matrices and thresholds of construction intensity and functional diversity. Our results show the following: (1) Street vitality exhibits significant spatial spillover effects, which gradually weaken as the living circle range expands (Moran indices are 0.178***, 0.160***, and 0.145*** for the 500 m, 1000 m, and 1500 m spatial weight matrices, respectively). (2) Construction intensity has a threshold, which is 0.1466 under spatial matrices of different distances. Functional diversity has two thresholds: 0.6832 and 2.2065 for the 500 m spatial weight matrix, and 0.6832 and 1.4325 for the 1000 m matrices, and 0.6832 and 1.2724 for 1500 m matrices. (3) As an international metropolis, street accessibility in Shenzhen has a significant and strong positive impact on its street vitality. This conclusion provides stakeholders with spatial patterns that influence street vitality, offering a theoretical foundation to further break down barriers to street vitality.

In contemporary research, the street network emerges as a prominent and recurring theme in crime prediction studies. Meanwhile, graph representation learning shows considerable success, which motivates us to apply the methodology to crime prediction research. In this article, a graph representation learning approach is utilized to derive topological structure embeddings within the street network. Subsequently, a heterogeneous information network that incorporates both the street network and urban facilities is constructed, and embeddings through link prediction tasks are obtained. Finally, the two types of high-order embeddings, along with other spatio-temporal features, are fed into a deep neural network for street-level crime prediction. The proposed framework is tested using data from Beijing, and the outcomes demonstrate that both types of embeddings have a positive impact on crime prediction, with the second embedding showing a more significant contribution. Comparative experiments indicate that the proposed deep neural network offers superior efficiency in crime prediction.

Time-series monitoring of the land subsidence in the Yangtze River coastal area is crucial for maintaining river stability and early warning of disasters. This study employed PS-InSAR and SBAS-InSAR techniques to monitor the land subsidence along the Yangtze River in Nanjing, using a total of 42 Sentinel-1A images obtained between April 2015 and November 2021. The accuracy of both methods was compared and validated, while a comprehensive analysis was conducted to ascertain the spatial distribution characteristics and underlying causes of land subsidence. The maximum deviation between the two methods and six leveling point data did not exceed ±5 mm. Within the 5 km buffer zone on either side of the Yangtze River in Nanjing, four subsidence funnels were identified. Analysis of the factors contributing to land subsidence in this area indicates that underground engineering construction and operation, increasing ground building area, and geological condition all have certain correlations to the land subsidence. The results obtained through PS-InSAR and SBAS-InSAR technologies revealed a high degree of consistency in monitoring outcomes, and the latter method exhibited superior monitoring accuracy than the former one in this area. This study holds significant implications for guiding the scientific management of urban geohazards along the Yangtze River.

Building information modeling (BIM) has recently become more popular in historical buildings as a method to rebuild their geometry and collect relevant information. Heritage BIM (HBIM), which combines high-level data about surface conditions, is a valuable tool for conservation decision-making. However, implementing BIM in heritage has its challenges because BIM libraries are designed for new constructions and are incapable of accommodating the morphological irregularities found in historical structures. This article discusses an architecture survey workflow that uses TLS, imagery, and deep learning algorithms to optimize HBIM for the conservation of the Nabatean built heritage. In addition to creating new resourceful Nabatean libraries with high details, the proposed approach enhanced HBIM by including two data outputs. The first dataset contained the TLS 3D dense mesh model, which was enhanced with high-quality textures extracted from independent imagery captured at the optimal time and location for accurate depictions of surface features. These images were also used to create true orthophotos using accurate and reliable 2.5D DSM derived from TLS, which eliminated all image distortion. The true orthophoto was then used in HBIM texturing to create a realistic decay map and combined with a deep learning algorithm to automatically detect and draw the outline of surface features and cracks in the BIM model, along with their statistical parameters. The use of deep learning on a structured 2D true orthophoto produced segmentation results in the metric units required for damage quantifications and helped overcome the limitations of using deep learning for 2D non-metric imagery, which typically uses pixels to measure crack widths and areas. The results show that the scanner and imagery integration allows for the efficient collection of data for informative HBIM models and provide stakeholders with an efficient tool for investigating and analyzing buildings to ensure proper conservation.

Research on forest carbon storage (FCS) is crucial for the sustainable development of human society given the context of global climate change. Previous FCS studies formed the science base of the FCS field but lacked a macrolevel knowledge summary. This study combined the scientometric mapping tool VOSviewer and multiple statistical models to conduct a comprehensive knowledge graph mining and analysis of global FCS papers (covering 101 countries, 1712 institutions, 5435 authors, and 276 journals) in the Web of Science database as of 2022, focusing on revealing the macro spatiotemporal pattern, multidimensional research status, and topic evolution process of FCS research at the global scale, so as to grasp the status of global FCS research more clearly and comprehensively, thereby facilitating the future decision-making and practice of researchers. The results showed the following: (1) In the past three decades, the number of FCS papers indicated an increasing trend, with a growth rate of 4.66/yr, particularly significant after 2010. These papers were mainly from Europe, the Americas, and Asia, while there was a huge gap between Africa, Oceania, and the above regions. (2) For the research status at the national, institutional, scholar, and journal levels, the USA, with 331 FCS papers and 18,653 total citations, was the most active and influential country in global FCS research; the United States Forest Service topped the influential ranking with 4115 citations; Grant M. Domke and Jerome Chave were the most active and influential FCS researchers globally, respectively. China’s activity (237 papers) and influence (5403 citations) ranked second, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences was the most active research institution in the world. Currently, FCS research is published in a growing number of journals, among which Forest Ecology and Management ranked first in the number of papers (154 papers) and citations (6374 citations). (3) In recent years, the keyword frequency of monitoring methods, driving factors, and reasonable management for FCS has increased rapidly, and many new related keywords have emerged, which means that researchers are not only focusing on the estimation and monitoring of FCS but also increasingly concerned about its driving mechanism and sustainable development.
在全球气候变化的背景下，森林碳储存（FCS）研究对于人类社会的可持续发展至关重要。以往的森林碳储量研究形成了森林碳储量领域的科学基础，但缺乏宏观层面的知识总结。本研究结合科学计量制图工具VOSviewer和多种统计模型，对Web of Science数据库中截至2022年的全球FCS论文（涵盖101个国家、1712个机构、5435位作者、276种期刊）进行了全面的知识图谱挖掘和分析，重点揭示了全球尺度上FCS研究的宏观时空格局、多维研究现状和主题演化过程，从而更清晰、更全面地把握全球FCS研究现状，为研究者未来的决策和实践提供便利。研究结果表明(1) 在过去的三十年中，文化统计框架论文数量呈上升趋势，增长率为 4.66/年，2010 年以后尤为显著。这些论文主要来自欧洲、美洲和亚洲，而非洲、大洋洲与上述地区之间存在巨大差距。(2）从国家、机构、学者和期刊层面的研究状况来看，美国以331篇FCS论文和18653次总被引次数成为全球FCS研究最活跃和最有影响力的国家；美国林务局以4115次被引次数位居影响力排行榜首位；格兰特-多姆克（Grant M. Domke）和杰罗姆-查夫（Jerome Chave）分别成为全球最活跃和最有影响力的FCS研究者。中国的活跃度（237 篇论文）和影响力（5403 次引用）排名第二，中国科学院是全球最活跃的研究机构。目前，森林科学研究发表在越来越多的期刊上，其中《森林生态学与管理》的论文数量（154 篇）和被引用次数（6374 次）均居首位。(3）近年来，森林碳储量的监测方法、驱动因素、合理管理等关键词出现频率迅速增加，并出现了许多新的相关关键词，这说明研究者不仅关注森林碳储量的估算和监测，也越来越关注其驱动机制和可持续发展。

Rapid growth rate indicates that the free-floating electric vehicle sharing (FFEVS) system leads to a new carsharing idea. Like other carsharing systems, the FFEVS system faces significant regional demand fluctuations. In such a situation, the rental stations and charging stations should be constructed in high-demand areas to reduce the scheduling costs. However, the planning of the FFEVS system includes a series of aspects of rental stations and charging stations, such as the location, size, and number, which interact with each other. In this paper, we first provide a method for forecasting the demand for car sharing based on the land characteristics of Beijing FFEVS station catchment areas. Then, the multi-objective MILP model for planning FFEVS systems is developed, which considers the requirements of vehicle relocation and electric vehicle charging. Afterward, the capabilities of the proposed models are demonstrated by the real data obtained from Beijing, China. Finally, the sensitivity analysis of the model is made based on varying demand and subsidy levels. From the results, the proposed model can provide decision-makers with useful insights about the planning of FFEVS systems, which bring great benefits to formulating more rational policies.

Numerous studies have examined land surface temperature (LST) changes in Thailand using remote sensing, but there has been little research on LST variations within urban land use zones. This study addressed this gap by analyzing summer LST changes in land use zoning (LUZ) blocks in the 2012 Chiang Mai Comprehensive Plan and their relationship with surface biophysical parameters (NDVI, NDBI, MNDWI). The approach integrated detailed zoning data with remote sensing for granular LST analysis. Correlation and stepwise regression analyses (SRA) revealed that NDBI significantly impacted LST in most block types, while NDVI and MNDWI also influenced LST, particularly in 2023. The findings demonstrated the complexity of LST dynamics across various LUZs in Chiang Mai, with SRA results explaining 45.7% to 53.2% of summer LST variations over three years. To enhance the urban environment, adaptive planning strategies for different block categories were developed and will be considered in the upcoming revision of the Chiang Mai Comprehensive Plan. This research offers a new method to monitor the urban heat island phenomenon at the block level, providing valuable insights for adaptive urban planning.

The findings demonstrated the complexity of LST dynamics across various LUZs in Chiang Mai, with SRA results explaining 45.7% to 53.2% of summer LST variations over three years. To enhance the urban environment, adaptive planning strategies for different block categories were developed and will be considered in the upcoming revision of the Chiang Mai Comprehensive Plan. This research offers a new method to monitor the urban heat island phenomenon at the block level, providing valuable insights for adaptive urban planning.","PeriodicalId":48738,"journal":{"name":"ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information","volume":"125 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141503452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Geospatial data has proven useful for monitoring urbanization and guiding sustainable development in rapidly urbanizing regions. The United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicator 11.3.1 leverages geospatial data to estimate rates of urban land and population change, providing insight on urban land use expansion patterns and thereby informing sustainable urbanization initiatives (i.e., SDG 11). Our work enhances a UN proposed delineation method by integrating various open-source datasets and tools (e.g., OpenStreetMap and openrouteservice) and advanced geospatial analysis techniques to automate the delineation of individual functional urban agglomerations across a country and, subsequently, calculate SDG Indicator 11.3.1 and related metrics for each. We applied our automated geospatial approach to three rapidly urbanizing countries in Africa: Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa, to conduct multi-level examinations of urban land use expansion, including identifying hotspots of SDG Indicator 11.3.1 where the percentage growth of urban land was greater than that of the urban population. The urban agglomerations of Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa displayed a 73%, 14%, and 5% increase in developed land area from 2016 to 2020, respectively, with new urban development being of an outward type in Ethiopia and an infill type in Nigeria and South Africa. On average, Ethiopia’s urban agglomerations displayed the highest SDG Indicator 11.3.1 values across urban agglomerations, followed by those of South Africa and Nigeria, and secondary cities of interest coinciding as SDG Indicator 11.3.1 hotspots included Mekelle, Ethiopia; Benin City, Nigeria; and Polokwane, South Africa. The work presented in this study contributes to knowledge of urban land use expansion patterns in Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa, and our approach demonstrates effectiveness for multi-level evaluations of urban land expansion according to SDG Indicator 11.3.1 across urbanizing countries.
