OUR COMMON SOILS: West Lausanne Urbanization as Anthropedogenesis, A Section through the Spaces and Times of Urban Soils
Motivated by ever-increasing soil degradation and artificialization due to past and present urban growth dynamics, the current trend of spatial planning policies at the European and Swiss levels is promoting increased soil protection, by avoiding new devel ...
EPFL2021On the adjustment, calibration and orientation of drone photogrammetry and laser-scanning
Emmanuel Pierre Quentin Clédat
Centimetre level precision mapping is essential for many applications such as land-use, infrastructure inspection, cultural heritage preservation, and construction site monitoring. However, the acquisition and its preparation (in particular the setting of ...
EPFL2020Spherical Network Visualizations
Data visualization is a recent domain that founds his roots in the eighties, but its history dates back to more ancient times in other representations such as diagrams, drawings, or maps. In particular, data visualization is hard to take advantage of the h ...
2019The effects of visual realism, spatial abilities, and competition on performance in map-based route learning in men
We report on how visual realism might influence map-based route learning performance in a controlled laboratory experiment with 104 male participants in a competitive context. Using animations of a dot moving through routes of interest, we find that partic ...
TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC2018Seismic vulnerability assessment of existing buildings
One of the main research areas of the Applied Computing and Mechanics laboratory (IMAC) at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is the seismic risk assessment of the existing building stock at an urban scale. Such analysis enables to forecas ...
2018Penser (par) la carte
What do Marine Drive and Shibuya have in common? Both the long promenade at the southern end of Mumbai, and the gigantic pedestrian crossing in the heart of the Japanese capital, are places where one walks. This thesis discusses places of convergence and o ...

The transformation of society to sustainable consumption and production patterns is a future key challenge. Households play a major role in this transformation process. This paper describes results of a resource consumption analysis at household level, con ...
A World Resources Forum Production, PSI2017Comparing expert and novice concept map construction through a talk-aloud protocol
Concept maps can be used as generative assessment tools to identify changes in learner’s understanding. However, concept map analysis usually only focuses on the final product. This case study used a talk aloud protocol to study and compare the concept map ...
Springer2016Total Variation Regularization of Shape Signals
This paper introduces the concept of shape signals, i.e., series of shapes which have a natural temporal or spatial ordering, as well as a variational formulation for the regularization of these signals. The proposed formulation can be seen as the shape-va ...
IEEE2015Comparing two forms of concept map critique activities to support knowledge integration in biology education
Concept map activities often lack a subsequent revision step that facilitates knowledge integration. This study compares two kinds of concept map critique activities embedded in an evolution unit: Student dyads in one group compared their concept maps agai ...
