Urban scan: A novel system to assess the urban landscapes in the regions deprived of street-view services

Streetscape design can encourage social interaction and community building, creating a sense of place and improving the overall well-being of the resident community. Detailed investigation of streetscape quantitatively can identify the opportunities to reduce energy use, improve air quality, and enh...

description Streetscape design can encourage social interaction and community building, creating a sense of place and improving the overall well-being of the resident community. Detailed investigation of streetscape quantitatively can identify the opportunities to reduce energy use, improve air quality, and enhance the natural environment. Data derived from street view services are typically used to analyze the streetscape. However, the availability of street view services is limited to selected regions, because of which conducting a study for an area deprived of street view services is a challenge. Building on this gap, this study proposes a new system introduced as Urban scan to overcome the limitation. • The proposed system can capture the streetscape in 360°. • Helps to analyze the streetscape composition with the least computational effort. • The accuracy of the classification is tested with different datasets and is noted to be above 96.02%.
