However, the authorities and urban experts show hesitancy in endorsing these tools in their practices. Indeed, several parameters must be wisely considered in the design of VGE; if misjudged, their impact could be damaging for the participatory approach and the related urban project. The objective of this study is to engage participants (N = 107) with common tasks conducted in participatory sessions, in order to evaluate the users’ performance when manipulating a VGE. We aimed at assessing three crucial parameters: (1) the VGE representation, (2) the participants’ idiosyncrasies, and (3) the nature of the VGE format. The results demonstrate that the parameters did not affect the same aspect of users’ performance in terms of time, inputs, and correctness. The VGE representation impacts only the time needed to fulfill a task. The participants’ idiosyncrasies, namely age, gender and frequency of 3D use also induce an alteration in time, but spatial abilities seem to impact all characteristics of users’ performance, including correctness. Lastly, the nature of the VGE format significantly alters the time and correctness of users interactions. The results of this study highlight concerns about the inadequacies of the current VGE practices in participatory sessions. Moreover, we suggest guidelines to improve the design of VGE, which could enhance urban participatory planning processes, in order to create better cities.

A GIS representation framework for location-based social media activities / Xuebin Wei in Transactions in GIS, vol 26 n° 3 (May 2022)

Such data become innovative resources for the analysis of human activities. Meanwhile, a shift of human interactions from geographical spaces to virtual spaces has been observed. Although this is an exciting research opportunity, it also imposes significant challenges on GIScience, as current GIS representation models are no longer sufficient to handle the increased sophistication of human activities data. This research formalizes an ontology for LBSMA data and a conceptual framework for representing such data in GIS. The framework contributes to GIScience as it enables interconnections of human activities in both the physical and virtual worlds to be represented, organized, retrieved, analyzed, and visualized. The proposed GIS representation model integrates a social dimension into the existing spatial–temporal representation models and allows data analysis in the spatial–temporal–social (STS) dimensions. The research tested this conceptual framework with a prototype and a case study using Facebook data. The prototype and the case study prove that the proposed framework can significantly enhance GIS capabilities for data organization, retrieval, and analysis of LBSMA data in STS dimensions.

Immersive visualizations and experiences offer an intuitive, visceral approach to otherwise rather abstract concepts, but creating them scientifically is challenging. In this paper, we linked ecological modeling, procedural modeling, and virtual reality to provide an immersive experience of a future forest. We mapped current tree species composition in northern Wisconsin using the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data and then forecast forest change 50 years into the future under two climate scenarios using LANDIS-II, a spatially-explicit, mechanistic simulation model. We converted the model output (e.g., tree biomass) into parameters required for 3D visualizations with analytical modeling. Procedural rules allowed us to efficiently and reproducibly translate the parameters into a simulated forest. Data visualization, environment exploration, and information retrieval were realized using the Unreal Engine. A system evaluation with experts in ecology provided positive feedback and future topics for a comprehensive ecosystem visualization and analysis approach. Our approach to create visceral experiences of forests under climate change can facilitate communication among experts, policy-makers, and the general public.

Initially, they were mostly used for remote sensing applications. More recently, thanks to the development of low-cost sensors and the publication of some open source libraries, they have become very popular and have been applied to a wider range of applications. One of them is the autonomous vehicle where many efforts have been made in the last century to make it real. A very important bottleneck nowadays for the autonomous vehicle is the evaluation of the proposed algorithms. Due to the huge number of possible scenarios, it is not feasible to perform it in real life. An alternative is to simulate virtual environments where all possible configurations can be set up beforehand. However, they are not as realistic as the real world is. In this thesis, we studied the pertinence of including hyperspectral images in the creation of new virtual environments. Furthermore, we proposed new methods to improve 3D scene understanding for autonomous vehicles. During this research, we addressed the following topics. Firstly, we analyzed the spectrum in color and hyperspectral images because it provides a description about the electromagnetic radiation at different frequencies. Some applications rely only on visible colors. In other cases, such as the characterization of materials, the study of the invisible range is required. For this purpose, we proposed a simplified spectrum representation that preserves its diversity, the Graph-based color lines (GCL) model. Secondly, we studied the integration of hyperspectral images, color images and point clouds in urban scenes. The analysis was carried out by using the data acquired during this thesis in the context of the REPLICA project FUI 24. We inspected spectral signatures of different objects and reflectance histograms of the images. The obtained results demonstrate that urban scenes are challenging scenarios for current technology of hyperspectral cameras due to the presence of uncontrolled light conditions and moving actors. Thirdly, we worked with 3D point clouds from urban scenes that have proved to be a reliable type of data, much less sensitive to illumination variations than cameras. They are more accurate than color images and permit to obtain precise 3D models of urban environments. Deep learning techniques are very popular in this domain. A key element of these techniques is the loss function that drives the optimization process. We proposed two new loss functions to perform semantic segmentation tasks: power Jaccard loss and hierarchical loss. They obtained a higher performance in evaluated scenarios than classical losses not only in 3D point clouds but also in color and gray scale images. Moreover, we proposed a new dataset (Paris Carla 3D Dataset) composed of synthetic and real point clouds from urban scenes. It is expected to be used by the research community for different automatic tasks such as semantic segmentation, instance segmentation and scene completion. Finally, we conducted a detailed analysis of the influence of RGB features in semantic segmentation of urban point clouds. We compared several training scenarios and identified that color systematically improves the performance in certain classes. It demonstrates that including a more detailed description of the spectrum, when the hyperspectral cameras technology increases its sensitivity, can be useful to improve scene description of urban scenes.

These photographic collections may vary in size, between hundreds and thousands of items. With the advent of the digital era, many of these documents have been digitized, spatialized, and are available online. Browsing through these digital image collections represents new challenges. This paper examines the topic of historical image exploration in a virtual environment enabling the co-visualization of historical photos into a contemporary 3D scene. We address the topic of user interaction considering the potential volume of the input data. Our methodology is based on design guidelines that rely on visual perception techniques to ease visual complexity and improve saliency on specific cues. The designs are additionally implemented following an image-based rendering approach and evaluated in a group of users. Overall, these propositions may be a notable addition to creating innovative ways to visualize and discover historical images in a virtual geographic environment.
