Structural Landmark Salience Computation in Compact Urban Districts with 3D Node-Landmark Grid Analysis Model: A Case Study on Two Sample Districts in Changsha, China

Structural Salience as a Landmark

Visual and verbal communication of reliable route information depends on the identification of unique features in the environment. While current route information systems focus on easily accessible data, especially street names to achieve this goal, human navigators prefer landmarks. Everything that sticks out from the background can serve as a landmark (e.g., Presson & Montello, 1988). This si...

Public Participation Model In Unequal Urban Environment (Case Study: Vakil-Agha And Nobahar Districts In Kermanshah)

The spatial inequality of the environment arises as a planning problem when the spatial structure of the different districts of a city is distinctly different; Differences that require different programming solutions for different regions and meeting the objective of creating spatial equality in a city. Nobahar and Vaki-Agha are two districts with unequal urban space located in north and south ...

Ranking Sustainability of Urban Districts through Factor and Cluster Analyses, Case Study: Municipal Districts of Isfahan

3D Facial Landmark Detection & Face Registration A 3D Facial Landmark Model & 3D Local Shape Descriptors Approach

In this Technical Report a novel method for 3D landmark detection and pose estimation suitable for both frontal and side 3D facial scans is presented. It utilizes 3D information by using 3D local shape descriptors to extract candidate interest points that are subsequently identified and labeled as anatomical landmarks. The shape descriptors include the shape index, a continuous map of principal...

Urban Design and Social mixing in the Neighborhood Districts (Case Study: Abadan, Iran)

Social diversity in the neighborhood districts has been the new approach for the challenges resulting from varieties in cities. Social interpreters of this policy are to create neighborhoods where people of different ages, ethnic-racial backgrounds, income, etc. take a place in it. In this regard, many designers by using the concept of different forms of ownership such as housing schemas, diffe...
