arXiv:2607. 22613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper explores the intersection of memory, place, and identity, examining how new technologies, particularly Apple Vision Pro, can illuminate this nexus.
arXiv:2505. 02271v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The proliferation of Generative Artificial Ingelligence (AI), especially Large Language Models, presents transformative opportunities for urban applications through Urban Foundation Models.
arXiv:2605. 16972v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cultural heritage exhibitions often struggle to sustain attention and support reflective engagement.
arXiv:2608. 08814v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present 360CityArena, a benchmark for evaluating the urban exploration capabilities of embodied agents within a photorealistic environment constructed from 360-degree videos.
arXiv:2601. 06056v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: During 2025 and 2026, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive is being implemented in the European Union member states, requiring all member states to have National Building Renovation Plans.
We introduce ChinaHeritaQA, a multimodal benchmark dataset for evaluating the cultural reasoning abilities of vision-language models (VLMs) on UNESCO World Heritage sites in China. The dataset comprises 2,279 in-the-wild images paired with 14,133 bilingual (Chinese/English) multiple-choice QA pairs spanning seven cognitive dimensions, from basic identity recognition to historical periodization and architectural analysis.
arXiv:2603. 03482v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Interactive world models continually generate video by responding to a user's actions, enabling open-ended generation capabilities.
Vision-language models (VLMs) have made interactive digital museums increasingly feasible by connecting 3D digitization with natural-language artifact exploration. However, in cultural heritage domains such as ancient Greek pottery, reliable VLM assistance is limited by two challenges.
arXiv:2608. 03826v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Geospatial and urban applications increasingly require models to compare heterogeneous evidence across street-view imagery, remote-sensing observations, text descriptions, region proposals, and temporal change cues.
arXiv:2608. 17033v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual Place Recognition (VPR) aims to recognize the location of a query image by comparing it with a set of geo-referenced images.
arXiv:2606. 09648v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-modal data management has emerged as a central research topic in the database community, spanning data integration, semantic query processing, and data quality assessment.
arXiv:2607. 07737v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: GNSS-denied unmanned aerial vehicles require occasional absolute position fixes to bound the drift of visual-inertial odometry.
