<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Maintaining an up-to-date inventory of urban infrastructure such as fire hydrant is critical to urban management. Street view database such as Google Street View and Baidu Street View contain street-level images, their potential for urban management has not been fully explored. For the massive image, data model for storage and indexing is an important research issue. Considering multiple cameras and GPS device in the image capturing platform, a hierarchical data model named 3D-Grid is proposed. Massive street view images were stored according to grid ID, GPS time and camera ID. An efficient time indexing algorithm is brought forth to replace the spatial indexing. Real test experiments are conducted in a project, and the validation and feasibility of 3D-Grid including time indexing algorithm were validated.</p>

In geographical field, the researches on spatial hierarchies are extensive, but there is a lack of effective method to generate and express hierarchical spatial structures. As a frequently-used visualising method, Voronoi Treemaps are able to represent hierarchical data, but limited to displaying non-spatial data. The approach of geographical Voronoi Treemaps is proposed to solve these problems by allowing for spatial division from point features with spatial coordinates and references. Additionally, this enables to create hierarchical layouts in the form of Voronoi Treemap in GIS environments with the ArcGIS Engine. The generated layouts are saved in a geodatabase, which is convenient for adding GIS enhancements such as colouring, edge sizes, legends, borders, scales, and compass. The approach aims to establish a kind of spatial data model to represent urban hierarchies, organisation structures and region differences and so on, which expands the application range of Voronoi Treemaps in the geographical field.

The central focus of this chapter is to analyse the urban population growth–urban management nexus in Zimbabwean cities. These cities are registering rapid population growth rates, due mainly to massive rural to urban migration and natural increase. Ideally, rapid urban population growth rates should be proportionate to urban infrastructure, facilities and services. This is not in the case in Zimbabwean cities, where the development of informal settlements, rising urban poverty, dilapidated urban infrastructure and other urban developmental challenges are rampant. Drawing from Malthusian theory, the current conditions in Zimbabwean cities represents that stage where the positive and negative checks are expected. In putting together this chapter, we used archival sources such as newspapers, government reports and other secondary sources. We conclude that planning initiatives and population control measures need to be used in Zimbabwean cities to address inefficiency and urban management challenges, which may be compromising urban sustainability. This study provides evidence-based information that urban local authorities may use to formulate policies to manage urban problems.

With the development of smart city in major cities at home and abroad, especially the management of smart city, how to improve the intelligence level of urban environment monitoring and evaluation has become an important research topic. It is of great value to rapidly and accurately detect garbage from urban images in the application of intelligent urban management. This paper aims to adopt a deep learning strategy for automatic garbage detection. By training a Faster R-CNN open source framework with region proposal network and ResNet network algorithm, we look over garbage detection results on garbage images. In addition, to improve the accuracy of the method, a data fusion and augmentation strategy is proposed. As a result, experiments show that the method has favorable generalization ability and high-precision detection function.

The consumer behavior has been observed to be largely influenced by image data with increasing familiarity of smart phones and World Wide Web. Traditional technique of browsing through product varieties in the Internet with text keywords has been gradually replaced by the easy accessible image data. The importance of image data has portrayed a steady growth in application orientation for business domain with the advent of different image capturing devices and social media. The paper has described a methodology of feature extraction by image binarization technique for enhancing identification and retrieval of information using content based image recognition. The proposed algorithm was tested on two public datasets, namely, Wang dataset and Oliva and Torralba (OT-Scene) dataset with 3688 images on the whole. It has outclassed the state-of-the-art techniques in performance measure and has shown statistical significance.
