Abstract Virtual Geographic Environments (VGEs) are proposed as a new generation of
geographic analysis tool to contribute to human understanding of the geographic world and …

Cellular automaton (CA) is a widely-used tool for modeling land-use changes that can
enhance our understanding of past and future urban development. Previous studies have …

Urban planning and morphology have relied on analytical cartography and visual
communication tools for centuries to illustrate spatial patterns, conceptualize proposed …

The latest generation of virtual and mixed reality hardware has rekindled interest in virtual
reality GIS (VRGIS) and augmented reality GIS (ARGIS) applications in health, and opened …

Cellular automata (CA) have been widely used to simulate complex urban development
processes. Previous studies indicated that vector-based cellular automata (VCA) could be …

Urban forms at human-scale, ie, urban environments that individuals can sense (eg, sight,
smell, and touch) in their daily lives, can provide unprecedented insights on a variety of …

Urban spaces consist of a complex collection of buildings, parcels, blocks and
neighbourhoods interconnected by streets. Accurately modelling both the appearance and …

The accessibility provided by the transportation system plays an essential role in driving
urban growth and urban functional land use changes. Conventional studies on land use …

In this paper, we propose an automatic method for generating roads based on a weighted
anisotropic shortest path algorithm. Given an input scene, we automatically create a path …

We present a simulation system that can simulate a three‐dimensional urban model over
time. The main novelty of our approach is that we do not rely on land‐use simulation on a …
