This paper investigates user preferences and behaviour associated with 2D and 3D modes
of urban representation within a novel Topographic Immersive Virtual Environment …

Aggregating areas into larger regions is a common problem in spatial planning, geographic
information science, and cartography. The aim can be to group administrative areal units …

A boom in volunteered geographic information has led to extensive data-driven exploration
and modeling of places. While many studies have used such data to explore human …

Place descriptions are a predominant means of human spatial communication. Their
automated interpretation still poses a challenge for geospatial services. This paper explores …

Landmarks constitute an essential basis for a structural understanding of the spatial
environment. Therefore, they are crucial factors in external spatial representations such as …

Fictive motion in language (as in “the ridge went north”) is claimed to reflect the attention
focus of the observer on the extension and spatial layout of an entity. This paper investigates …

Geospatial images, such as maps and aerial photographs, are important sources of spatial
knowledge that people use for wayfinding. The rapid development of geodata acquisition …

Human motion trajectories, however captured, provide a rich spatiotemporal data source for
human activity recognition, and the rich literature in motion trajectory analysis provides the …

Sketch maps are considered a reliable method for assessing spatial knowledge. However, it
is unknown whether all information types in sketch maps are reconstructed with similar …

Indoor navigation has proved to be complex to understand and to support with the use of
external aids, be it signage, maps, or navigational devices. Research on the spatial …
