Paper: OpenFACADES: An open framework for architectural caption and attribute data enrichment via street view imagery

We introduce an open framework leveraging multimodal data to enrich building profiles with objective attributes and semantic descriptors. It automates facade detection, reprojects panoramic views, and predicts multi-attribute data.

Paper: Decoding characteristics of building facades using street view imagery and vision-language model

Paper: Decoding characteristics of building facades using street view imagery and vision-language model

This study leverages street view imagery and vision-language models to analyze 48,752 building images in Hong Kong, identifying eight building clusters. It demonstrates the potential of scalable SVI-based analyses to capture urban spatial and semantic details, enhancing the understanding of the built environment.

Talk: Climate Change AI Discussion Seminar: Multimodal AI Approaches for Urban Microclimate Prediction and Building Analysis

Attended the October event in CCAI's Discussion Seminar Series. I presented my research on *Evaluating human perception of building exteriors using street view imagery* together with my colleagues Kunihiko Fujiwara and Binyu Lei. The presentation was followed by an interactive discussion in breakout rooms focused on translating this data into meaningful insights.

Paper: Evaluating human perception of building exteriors using street view imagery

This study explores how building appearances shape urban perception, using machine learning and survey data to analyze human responses to over 250,000 building images from Singapore, San Francisco, and Amsterdam. Findings reveal how architectural styles influence streetscape perceptions, offering insights for architects and city planners.

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

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.
