Street Sensing: Urban Thermal Environment Assessment Using Street View Images

Combining publicly available Google Street View (GSV) images with deep learning and radiative transfer models enables researchers to assess urban physical and thermal environments, especially in high-density areas. This book introduces this advanced approach, which provides large-scale, high-accuracy, and high-density measurements of street-level urban features—key to understanding urban radiation balance and thermal dynamics.
By leveraging GSV images, this method directly characterizes urba...
