Machine-Learning-Enhanced Procedural Modeling for 4D Historical Cities Reconstruction

Frédéric Kaplan, Isabella Di Lenardo, Rémi Guillaume Petitpierre, Beatrice Vaienti

The generation of 3D models depicting cities in the past holds great potential for documentation and educational purposes. However, it is often hindered by incomplete historical data and the specialized expertise required. To address these challenges, we p ...

Residential density classification for sustainable housing development using a machine learning approach

Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni, Dan Assouline, Alina Ursula Rosa Walch

Using Machine Learning (ML) algorithms for classification of the existing residential neighbourhoods and their spatial characteristics (e.g. density) so as to provide plausible scenarios for designing future sustainable housing is a novel application. Here ...

The sediment challenge of Swiss river corridors interrupted by man-made reservoirs

Giovanni De Cesare, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Samuel Luke Vorlet, Christian Mörtl

Depending on their characteristics and management, man-made reservoirs can have a significant impact on the natural sediment continuity of rivers. We classify different reservoir types and describe potential risks for the dam and downstream river reach. Ou ...

IntegrCiTy - D4.4 Report - Implementation of the decision‐support interface with the GIS data base

Luc Girardin

This report presents the implementation of a communication interface to bridge the gap between the semantic 3D city models of the Geographical information system (GIS) database and the scenarios creation environment for decision‐making in the conceptual ph ...

A deep learning approach to Cadastral Computing

Frédéric Kaplan, Isabella Di Lenardo, Sofia Ares Oliveira, Bastien Solal Emile Tourenc

This article presents a fully automatic pipeline to transform the Napoleonic Cadastres into an information system. The cadastres established during the first years of the 19th century cover a large part of Europe. For many cities they give one of the first ...

Simple rules for an efficient use of Geographic Information Systems in molecular ecology

Stéphane Joost, Kevin Leempoel, Estelle Rochat, Solange Catherine Gaillard, Ivo Widmer

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are becoming increasingly popular in the context of molecular ecology and conservation biology thanks to their display options efficiency, flexibility and management of geodata. Indeed, spatial data for wildlife and liv ...

Hydroweb: an Open Source educational WebGIS platform for the understanding of spatio-temporal variations of meteorological parameters at the watershed scale

Stéphane Joost, Jens Ingensand, Michaël Kalbermatten, Vincent Luyet

GIS is an interdisciplinary technology able to support high-level thinking and spatial reasoning. It allows students to visualize complex real world problems, and supports multiple modes of learning. But GIS remain unused at the primary school level. Indee ...

Modelling wind-driven rain on buildings in urbanized area using 3-D GIS and LiDAR datasets

Luca Rossi, François Golay, Claudio Magalhaes Carneiro, Sylvain Coutu, Pauline Emery, Vera Wyrsch

This study investigated the distribution of the fraction of rainfall intercepted by the facades of buildings located in an urbanized area. We used the frequently used semi-empirical standard ISO-15927-3 to simulate Wind-Driven Rain on facades. The implemen ...

GIS-based 3D modelling for landslide hazard assessment: increasing the objectivity of hazard maps

Aurèle Parriaux, Séverine Bilgot

Recent decades have been marked by many disasters caused by natural hazards.Gravitational phenomena in particular have resulted in several deaths and extensive damage to infrastructure. Nearly 10% of Swiss territory is considered unstable. It therefore req ...

Using geotypes for landslide hazard assessment and mapping: a coupled field and GIS-based method

Aurèle Parriaux, Séverine Bilgot

Switzerland is exceptionally subjected to landslides; indeed, about 10% of its area is considered as unstable. Making this observation, its Department of the Environment (BAFU) introduces in 1997 a method to realize landslide hazard maps. It is routinely u ...

The effects of the global structure of the mask in visual backward masking

Michael Herzog

The visibility of a target can be strongly affected by a trailing mask. Research on visual backward masking has typically focused on the temporal characteristics of masking, whereas non-basic spatial aspects have received much less attention. However, rece ...

The geographical dimension of genetic diversity : a GIScience contribution for the conservation of animal genetic resources

Stéphane Joost

In its natural framework, genetic information is embedded within a geographic context. Plants and animals are directly influenced by the specific characteristics of their surrounding environment. Therefore, spatial information is a potentially important el ...
