Conflated Inverse Modeling to Generate Diverse and Temperature-Change Inducing Urban Vegetation Patterns

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.13028v1 Announce Type: new Urban areas are increasingly vulnerable to thermal extremes driven by rapid urbanization and climate change. Traditionally, thermal extremes have been monitored using Earth-observing satellites and numerical modeling frameworks. For example, land surface temperature derived from Landsat or Sentinel imagery is commonly used to characterize surface heating patterns. These approaches operate as forward models, translating radiative observations or modeled boundary conditions into estimates of surface thermal states.
