Can VLMs Reliably Assess Sidewalk Accessibility Attributes from Pedestrian-Level Imagery?
Seung Jae Lieu, Diego Morra, Chiara Cadoni +3
An important component of urban accessibility, particularly for wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility, is sidewalk compliance with measurable requirements. We test whet…
Urban Visual Intelligence: Studying Cities with AI and Street-level Imagery
Fan Zhang, Arianna Salazar Miranda, Fábio Duarte +6
The visual dimension of cities has been a fundamental subject in urban studies, since the pioneering work of scholars such as Sitte, Lynch, Arnheim, and Jacobs. Several decades lat…
Favelas 4D: Scalable methods for morphology analysis of informal settlements using terrestrial laser scanning data
Arianna Salazar Miranda, Guangyu Du, Claire Gorman +3
One billion people live in informal settlements worldwide. The complex and multilayered spaces that characterize this unplanned form of urbanization pose a challenge to traditional…
Robust Place Recognition using an Imaging Lidar
Tixiao Shan, Brendan Englot, Fabio Duarte +2
We propose a methodology for robust, real-time place recognition using an imaging lidar, which yields image-quality high-resolution 3D point clouds. Utilizing the intensity reading…
Quantifying Urban Canopy Cover with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
Bill Cai, Xiaojiang Li, Carlo Ratti
Urban canopy cover is important to mitigate the impact of climate change. Yet, existing quantification of urban greenery is either manual and not scalable, or use traditional compu…
Deep Learning Based Video System for Accurate and Real-Time Parking Measurement
Bill Yang Cai, Ricardo Alvarez, Michelle Sit +2
Parking spaces are costly to build, parking payments are difficult to enforce, and drivers waste an excessive amount of time searching for empty lots. Accurate quantification would…
