GeoUNet: A novel AI model for high-resolution mapping of ecological footprint

Ecological footprint (EF) plays an important role in ecological and geographical analysis, but it can only be calculated based on statistical data in a region like a country or a city. High-resolution mapping of ecological footprint is in urgent need …

An Extended Exploration and Preferential Return Model for Human Mobility Simulation at Individual and Collective Levels

Human mobility models have prevalent applications in traffic management, urban planning, and disease prevention. Modeling human mobility combining both the statistical physical mechanics and geographical constrains is not fully investigated. In this …

Inferring Spatial Interaction Patterns from Sequential Snapshots of Spatial Distributions

Spatial interactions underlying consecutive sequential snapshots of spatial distributions, such as the migration flows underlying temporal population snapshots, can reflect the details of spatial evolution processes. In the era of big data, we have …
