🌳 Introducing WHU-STree, a new multimodal street tree dataset from Wuhan University, now published in ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Why is it interesting? • Cross-city coverage: data collected in Nanjing and Shenyang, two cities with very different climates and urban layouts, enabling cross-region generalization studies • Rich annotations: 21,007 individual street tree instances, 50 species, and 2 morphological attributes • Multimodal data: temporally aligned LiDAR point clouds high-resolution panoramic images • Multi-task potential: single-tree inventory, cross-domain generalization, multi-task learning, and domain adaptation An interesting takeaway from the benchmark: while multimodal fusion outperforms single-modality baselines, it still does not consistently surpass strong 3D-only methods. This highlights that effective multimodal fusion remains an open challenge. We hope this dataset can support future research in urban greenery inventory and smart city management.

We should plan our cities around preserving natural elements, like trees

Another reason why green spaces matter even in our yards/compounds. Children need grasses to roll over too. Cc @ChifeDr @MaryanneMoghalu @uzochiapa @OfficialEgoBoyo @oluwaseun_ajede @EzeasorIje #urbanism #urbanplanning #urbandevelopment #urbancomputing

Exercise and walking are elements of a good urban design. Cities should also be built to prevent cognitive decline. #MentalHealth #health #urbanism #urbanplanning #urbancomputing #urbandevelopment
"Exercise is not only important for the heart, but also for the brain. Physical activity appears to be one of the most promising measures we have to prevent cognitive decline and dementia." norwegianscitechnews.com/202…

This is how science helps you design houses that would consume less energy for cooling. #urbanism #urbanplanning #urbancomputing #cooling

Thanks @The__Vyrus for sharing this. This is how to use the sun and wind to plan a city so as to improve Quality of Life. This is another reason science is important in #urbanplanning. Cc @uzochiapa @EzeasorIje @oluwaseun_ajede @OfficialEgoBoyo #urbanism #urbancomputing
Do Nigerian architects and builders check all these things when designing and building?

Curb extensions should be the default where there's on street parking.

Cities grappling with embracing #AI since most of them embraced #OpenData and have large datasets should not be any surprises. What they need is to have the vision and talents needed to exploit AI to improve economic outcomes and Quality of Life. #ConnectedData #UrbanComputing
AI holds huge potential for urban-scale applications, argue Ian Klaus and Nicklas Lundblad trib.al/kWle5K4

In this present global war of talents, cities that are intentionally positioned to attract talents are winning. Cities are economic engines powered by human capital and can be computable with #OpenData, #KnowledgeGraph, Language Models. #urbanism #urbanplanning #urbancomputing

Smart Cities apply Actionable intelligence derived by both Humans and Machines from Data, Information, Knowledge it has to situations affecting their cities. #SmartCities #SmartCity #UrbanComputing #cities #city #dikw #data

For those who attended my Graph Theory, Graph Algorithms and Graph Analytics webinar, here is the thread on Urban computing for Lagos traffic x.com/EmekaOkoye/status/1173… #graph #SmartCities #UrbanComputing #analytics

With urban computing, we can make a city like Lagos computational so as to solve some of its challenges. I will describe a good example around bus stops soon. #SmartCities #urbanism cc @chamsone @chifedr @dkoa @banksinvogue @TomiDee @asemota @emeka_okafor @JacquelineJumah
