Calculating Shadows with U-Nets for Urban Environments (Short Paper)

Authors: Dominik Rothschedl, Franz Welscher, Franziska Hübl, Ivan Majic, Daniele Giannandrea, Matthias Wastian, Johannes Scholz, and Niki Popper

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 277, 12th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2023)


Abstract
Shadow calculation is an important prerequisite for many urban and environmental analyses such as the assessment of solar energy potential. We propose a neural net approach that can be trained with 3D geographical information and predict the presence and depth of shadows. We adapt a U-Net algorithm traditionally used in biomedical image segmentation and train it on sections of Styria, Austria. Our two-step approach first predicts binary existence of shadows and then estimates the depth of shadows as well. Our results on the case study of Styria, Austria show that the proposed approach can predict in both models shadows with over 80% accuracy which is satisfactory for real-world applications, but still leaves room for improvement.

Harnessing the Sunlight on Facades - an Approach for Determining Vertical Photovoltaic Potential (Short Paper)

Authors: Franz Welscher, Ivan Majic, Franziska Hübl, Rizwan Bulbul, and Johannes Scholz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 277, 12th International Conference on Geographic Information Science (GIScience 2023)


Abstract
The paper deals with the calculation of the photovoltaic potential of vertical structures. Photovoltaic systems are a core technology for producing renewable energy. As roughly 50% of the population on planet Earth lives in urban environments, the production of renewable energy in urban contexts is of particular interest. As several papers have elaborated on the photovoltaic potential of roofs, this paper focuses on vertical structures. Hence, we present a methodology to extract facades suitable for photovoltaic installation, calculate their southness and percentage of shaded areas. The approach is successfully tested, based on a dataset located in the city of Graz, Styria (Austria). The results show the wall structures of each building, the respective shadow depth, and their score based on a multi-criteria analysis that represents the suitability for the installation of a photovoltaic system.

Authors: Irene Celino, Oscar Corcho, Franz Hölker, and Elena Simperl

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 7, Issue 7 (2018)


Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 17272 "Citizen Science: Design and Engagement". In this report, we detail the briefly summarise the content of three invited keynote talks and two invited tutorials. We further outline the findings of five parallel working groups, which met on the first and third day of the workshop, in the areas of: sustainability, measuring success, community engagement, linking and quality.

04441 Working Group – Business Models

Authors: Birgitta König-Ries, Franz Lehner, Rainer Malaka, Florian Matthes, Philipp Obreiter, Key Pousttchi, Frank Seliger, Klaus Turowski, and Jari Veijalainen

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4441, Mobile Information Management (2005)


Abstract
This document presents the results from the working group "Business Models" (WG 1) discussing the seminar topic under market aspects. Main objectives were developing a shared view of the field (i.e. matching business, technology and research interests), identifying key players and relations between them (including barriers and lessons learned so far from the 2G/2.5G market), discussing the role of business models and value chains and applying them to P2P-networks. In the concluding round the difference between traditional DB/IS applications and mobile applications is explored.

Mobile Business and Services - A systematic, business oriented approach

Authors: Franz Lehner

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 4441, Mobile Information Management (2005)


Abstract
In terms of business models, mobile commerce (MC) includes relations between customers, operators, ecommerce providers, payment providers, and other parties. There is a growing number of publications on MC sometimes labeled as research. But most of this work should be better called market studies or benchmarks. They highlight different aspects such as the number of prospective consumers, the estimated market volume, etc which do not really provide deeper insights . Well known sources for this kind of information are Arthur D. Little, Ovum, Durlacher, Merrill Lynch, Gartner, Forrester and others. They all try to estimate the perspectives of the mobile market(s) by using figures on mobile phone penetration, SMS usage, mobile internet access etc. Many of the remaining publications are technically oriented (for an overview see e.g. Prasad et al. 2000, Muller-Veerse 2000, Webb 1999). So what we are generally missing are concepts and guidelines for developing the mobile business, which something the MIS field can undertake. It is the purpose of this paper to contribute to a solution by providing a structured view of the major areas from a business point of view.
