Book Description
Roads are essential components of a city. Despite their increasing importance in our daily lives, modeling and simulating road networks is challenging due to their dynamic and complex nature. The underlying order and patterns of the seemingly chaotic and diverse physical patterns of roads are still unclear. Furthermore, there is a knowledge gap regarding the relationships between the size, scale, shape, structure, and space of road networks.This book presents the state-of-the-art in computational methods for modeling the topological structure of road networks. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of this topology and provides models, indicators, and empirical studies of road network structures. The book includes six types of structural models and three types of spatial simulation models to help understand the topological structural complexity of road networks. The appendices include several examples of road networks and their universal scale-free patterns.This interdisciplinary book is helpful for individuals interested in spatial modeling, network analysis, transportation geography, and urban studies. It is also a fundamental resource for modeling and computing spatial complex systems. The book is suitable for undergraduate, graduate, and professional researchers interested in geographic modeling and urban design. The text is written with moderate mathematical detail to enhance comprehension of the concepts and principles presented. The use of maps, graphics, and examples makes the modeling and computational processes more intuitive.

Computational Topology for Data Analysis
Author: Tamal Krishna Dey
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009103199
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
Topological data analysis (TDA) has emerged recently as a viable tool for analyzing complex data, and the area has grown substantially both in its methodologies and applicability. Providing a computational and algorithmic foundation for techniques in TDA, this comprehensive, self-contained text introduces students and researchers in mathematics and computer science to the current state of the field. The book features a description of mathematical objects and constructs behind recent advances, the algorithms involved, computational considerations, as well as examples of topological structures or ideas that can be used in applications. It provides a thorough treatment of persistent homology together with various extensions – like zigzag persistence and multiparameter persistence – and their applications to different types of data, like point clouds, triangulations, or graph data. Other important topics covered include discrete Morse theory, the Mapper structure, optimal generating cycles, as well as recent advances in embedding TDA within machine learning frameworks.

Very High Resolution (VHR) Satellite Imagery
Author: Francisco Eugenio
Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 3039217569
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Recently, growing interest in the use of remote sensing imagery has appeared to provide synoptic maps of water quality parameters in coastal and inner water ecosystems;, monitoring of complex land ecosystems for biodiversity conservation; precision agriculture for the management of soils, crops, and pests; urban planning; disaster monitoring, etc. However, for these maps to achieve their full potential, it is important to engage in periodic monitoring and analysis of multi-temporal changes. In this context, very high resolution (VHR) satellite-based optical, infrared, and radar imaging instruments provide reliable information to implement spatially-based conservation actions. Moreover, they enable observations of parameters of our environment at greater broader spatial and finer temporal scales than those allowed through field observation alone. In this sense, recent very high resolution satellite technologies and image processing algorithms present the opportunity to develop quantitative techniques that have the potential to improve upon traditional techniques in terms of cost, mapping fidelity, and objectivity. Typical applications include multi-temporal classification, recognition and tracking of specific patterns, multisensor data fusion, analysis of land/marine ecosystem processes and environment monitoring, etc. This book aims to collect new developments, methodologies, and applications of very high resolution satellite data for remote sensing. The works selected provide to the research community the most recent advances on all aspects of VHR satellite remote sensing.
