Context Land surface temperature (LST) directly responds to incoming solar radiation and is
strongly influenced by vertical urban structures, such as trees and buildings that provide …

Hemispherical (fisheye) photography is a well-established approach for estimating the sky
view factor (SVF). High-resolution urban models from LiDAR and oblique airborne …

Constant urban growth exacerbates the demand for residential, commercial and traffic
areas, leading to progressive surface sealing and urban densification. With climate change …

In this letter, we propose a thermal-infrared simultaneous localization and map** (SLAM)
system enhanced by sparse depth measurements from light detection ranging (LiDAR) …

Surface characteristics play a vital role in simulations for urban bioclimatic conditions.
Changing relationships and distribution patterns of sealed and vegetated surfaces as well …

Airborne thermal cameras are a valuable source of information for energy analyses at city
scale. The generation of accurate high-resolution thermal orthomosaics is a necessary but …

The rapid expansion of urban areas and soil sealing is enhancing the Urban Heat Island
(UHI) phenomenon, especially during heat waves. The different thermal inertia of the …

The relatively poor spatial resolution of thermal images is a limitation for many thermal
remote sensing applications. A possible solution to mitigate this problem is super-resolution …

When generating a true orthophoto from aerial urban scenes, especially those containing
man‐made features with large height differences, sawtooth effects in feature edges can …

The segmentation and analysis of the environment using three-dimensional (3D) data (point
clouds) is a dynamically develo** area. This article presents a real-time ground filtration …
