A short summary of some of the recent work from our group Claudio Silva Juliana Freire Fabio Miranda @mqolf

Fabio Fabio Miranda presenting our work on computing and analyzing shadows in cities #ieeevis Claudio Silva @mqolf

Today we released shadow data for Chicago, LA, Washington D.C., and Boston using the technique described in the paper "Shadow Accrual Maps". More: git.io/Jf4Pr @mqolf Harish D Claudio Silva CUSP at NYU Tandon NYU Tandon

Sidewalk materials have substantial implications but most cities lack surface material data. In CitySurfaces, we offer the first automated method for classifying sidewalk surface materials at city scale doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.… Fabio Miranda Claudio Silva C2SMARTER Center CUSP at NYU Tandon

📜 Check out Urban Rhapsody. A visualization tool to support the exploration and understand the soundscape of big cities. ✍️ Joao Lucas Rulff Fabio Miranda Maryam Hosseini Marcos Lage ★彡 Mark Cartwright Graham Dove Juan Bello Claudio Silva 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2205.13064 #FullPaper #EuroVis #EuroVis2022

📢New paper: How can we scalably map & assess sidewalk environments using satellite/streetscape imagery? In our CVPR'22 workshop paper, we argue that any pedestrian infrastructure analysis must include: where sidewalks are, how they are connected, & what their condition is.🧵

Our new paper was accepted for presentation at IEEE VIS 2022. We study how to visualize spatiotemporal data on virtual urban 3D environments. Fabio Miranda Marcos Lage ★彡 youtu.be/3TBx-njP_sU arxiv.org/abs/2208.05370

The "Future of Urban Accessibility" deadline has been extended to Sept 8. So many possibilities! We invite short papers, including experience reports, position papers, vision pieces, demos, pictorials, research summaries up to 2,000 words (refs excluded). accessiblecities.github.io/UrbanAccess202…

Notifications for UrbanAccess2022 are out! We accepted 13 wonderful submissions on a diversity of topics, including disability advocacy, policy, sidewalk equity, data trustworthiness, personalized routing, & more. Check out: accessiblecities.github.io/UrbanAccess202… sigaccess

Eeeey! Nick Ey waxes poetic in his post "The Symphony of the Sleepless City" on the Urban Rhapsody work by Joao Lucas Rulff, Fabio Miranda, Maryam Hosseini, Marcos Lage ★彡, Mark Cartwright, Graham Dove, Juan Bello, and Claudio Silva. 13/ medium.com/visumd/trackin…

DUSP researchers have built TILE2NET, an open-source tool that uses aerial imagery and image recognition to create complete maps of sidewalks and crosswalks. The tool can help planners anywhere who want to expand pedestrian infrastructure. mitsha.re/1low50Nj5Bw

Very thankful to StreetBlog USA and streetsblogkea for the great piece and spreading the word! Claudio Silva Andres Sevtsuk Fabio Miranda

The Beta version of our Tile2Net tool is now publicly available on GitHub: github.com/VIDA-NYU/tile2… Big thanks to our amazing team, specifically Daniel Hodczak who has been tirelessly working to make it happen! We can't wait to have you use it and hear your feedback! MIT Urban Planning @mitdusp.bsky.social

One city at a time! Excited to see Tile2Net is helping make changes happen. Looking forward to the next steps with MassDOT! #tile2net #accessibility #sidewalks change.org/p/pedestrian-w…

PhD student Gustavo Moreira will be presenting his paper "The Urban Toolkit: A Grammar-based Framework for Urban Visual Analytics" at IEEE VIS on Oct 27. The open-source tool and paper can be accessed at urbantk.org Fabio Miranda Marcos Lage ★彡 Nivan Ferreira Maryam Hosseini
