Paper: Revealing spatio-temporal evolution of urban visual environments with street view imagery

This study presents an embedding-driven clustering approach that combines physical and perceptual attributes to analyze the spatial structure and spatio-temporal evolution of urban visual environments. Using Singapore as a case study, it leverages street view imagery and graph neural networks to classify streetscapes into six clusters, revealing changes over the past decade. The findings provide insights into urban visual dynamics, supporting planning and landscape improvement.
