Abstract
Developing effective visual analytics systems demands care in characterization of domain problems and integration of visualization techniques and computational models. Urban visual analytics has already achieved remarkable success in tackling urban problems and providing fundamental services for smart cities. To promote further academic research and assist the development of industrial urban analytics systems, we comprehensively review urban visual analytics studies from four perspectives. In particular, we identify 8 urban domains and 22 types of popular visualization, analyze 7 types of computational method, and categorize existing systems into 4 types based on their integration of visualization techniques and computational models. We conclude with potential research directions and opportunities.

Abstract
3D spatial data has been generated at an extreme scale from many emerging applications, such as high definition maps for autonomous driving and 3D Human BioMolecular Atlas. In particular, 3D digital pathology provides a revolutionary approach to map human tissues in 3D, which is highly promising for advancing computer-aided diagnosis and understanding diseases through spatial queries and analysis. However, the exponential increase of data at 3D leads to significant I/O, communication, and computational challenges for 3D spatial queries. The complex structures of 3D objects such as bifurcated vessels make it difficult to effectively support 3D spatial queries with traditional methods. In this article, we present our work on building an efficient and scalable spatial query system, iSPEED, for large-scale 3D data with complex structures. iSPEED adopts effective progressive compression for each 3D object with successive levels of detail. Further, iSPEED exploits structural indexing for complex structured objects in distance-based queries. By querying with data represented in successive levels of details and structural indexes, iSPEED provides an option for users to balance between query efficiency and query accuracy. iSPEED builds in-memory indexes and decompresses data on-demand, which has a minimal memory footprint. iSPEED provides a 3D spatial query engine that can be invoked on-demand to run many instances in parallel implemented with, but not limited to, MapReduce. We evaluate iSPEED with three representative queries: 3D spatial joins, 3D nearest neighbor query, and 3D spatial proximity estimation. The extensive experiments demonstrate that iSPEED significantly improves the performance of existing spatial query systems.

Abstract
Large-scale three-dimensional spatial data has gained increasing attention with the development of self-driving, mineral exploration, CAD, and human atlases. Such 3D objects are often represented with a polygonal model at high resolution to preserve accuracy. This poses major challenges for 3D data management and spatial queries due to the massive amounts of 3D objects, e.g., trillions of 3D cells, and the high complexity of 3D geometric computation. Traditional spatial querying methods in the Filter-Refine paradigm have a major focus on indexing-based filtering using approximations like minimal bounding boxes and largely neglect the heavy computation in the refinement step at the intra-geometry level, which often dominates the cost of query processing. In this paper, we introduce 3DPro, a system that supports efficient spatial queries for complex 3D objects. 3DPro uses progressive compression of 3D objects preserving multiple levels of details, which significantly reduces the size of the objects and has the data fit into memory. Through a novel Filter-Progressive-Refine paradigm, 3DPro can have query results returned early whenever possible to minimize decompression and geometric computations of 3D objects in higher resolution representations. Our experiments demonstrate that 3DPro out-performs the state-of-the-art 3D data processing techniques by up to an order of magnitude for typical spatial queries.

Sci Rep 2021; 11:22520.

Abstract
Automatic pattern recognition using deep learning techniques has become increasingly important. Unfortunately, due to limited system memory, general preprocessing methods for high-resolution images in the spatial domain can lose important data information such as high-frequency information and the region of interest. To overcome these limitations, we propose an image segmentation approach in the compressed domain based on principal component analysis (PCA) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT). After inference for each tile using neural networks, a whole prediction image was reconstructed by wavelet weighted ensemble (WWE) based on inverse discrete wavelet transform (IDWT). The training and validation were performed using 351 colorectal biopsy specimens, which were pathologically confirmed by two pathologists. For 39 test datasets, the average Dice score, the pixel accuracy, and the Jaccard score were 0.804 ± 0.125, 0.957 ± 0.025, and 0.690 ± 0.174, respectively. We can train the networks for the high-resolution image with the large region of interest compared to the result in the low-resolution and the small region of interest in the spatial domain. The average Dice score, pixel accuracy, and Jaccard score are significantly increased by 2.7%, 0.9%, and 2.7%, respectively. We believe that our approach has great potential for accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
The recent technological advancement in digital pathology has enabled 3D tissue-based investigation of human diseases at extremely high resolutions. Discovering and verifying spatial patterns among massive 3D micro-anatomic biological objects such as blood vessels and cells derived from 3D pathology image volumes plays a pivotal role in understanding diseases. However, the exponential increase of available 3D data and the complex structures of biological objects make it extremely difficult to support spatial queries due to high I/O, communication and computational cost for 3D spatial queries. In this demonstration, we present our scalable in-memory based spatial query system iSPEED for large-scale 3D data with complex structures. Low latency is managed by storing in memory with progressive compression including successive levels of detail on object level. On the other hand, low computational cost is achieved by pre-generation of global spatial indexes in memory and additional on-demand generation of indexing at run-time. Furthermore, iSPEED applies structural indexing on complex structured objects in multiple query types to gain performance advantage. During query processing, the memory footprint of iSPEED is minimal due to its indexing structure and progressive decompression on-demand. We demonstrate iSPEED query capability with three representative queries: 3D spatial joins, nearest neighbor and spatial proximity estimation on multiple datasets using a web based RESTful interface. Users can furthermore explore the input data structure, manage and adjust query pipeline parameters on the interface.
