Graphical documents such as cartographic maps contain a great variety of textual elements appearing in different spatial positions, in different fonts, sizes, and colors, touching and overlapping graphical symbols. This greatly complicates automatic optical recognition of such textual elements in the process of raster-to-vector conversion of graphical documents. In this work, we propose a metho...

Sport and exercise contribute to health well-being in cities. While previous research has mainly focused on activities at specific locations such as sport facilities, "informal sport" that occur arbitrary across the city have been largely neglected. Such are more challenging observe, but this challenge may be addressed using data collected from social media platforms, because users regularly ge...

Inter-city interaction facilitated by HSR tends to play a more prominent role in promoting urban and regional economic integration development.

A novel solution to the challenge of automatic image annotation is described. Given an image with GPS data of its location of capture, our system returns a semantically-rich annotation comprising tags which both identify the landmark in the image, and provide an interesting fact about it, e.g. “A view of the Eiffel Tower, which was built in 1889 for an international exhibition in Paris”. This e...

Automatic extraction and understanding of humangenerated route descriptions have been critical to research aiming at understanding human cognition of geospatial information. Among all research issues involved, road name disambiguation is the most important, because one road name can refer to more than one road. Compared with traditional toponym (place name) disambiguation, the challenges of dis...
