Abstract
A high-quality built environment is important for human health and well-being. Assessing the quality of the urban built environment can provide planners and managers with decision-making for urban renewal to improve resident satisfaction. Many studies evaluate the built environment from the perspective of street scenes, but it is difficult for street-view data to cover every area of the built environment and its update frequency is low, which cannot meet the requirement of built-environment assessment under rapid urban development. Earth-observation data have the advantages of wide coverage, high update frequency, and good availability. This paper proposes an intelligent evaluation method for urban built environments based on scene understanding of high-resolution remote-sensing images. It contributes not only the assessment criteria for the built environment in remote-sensing images from the perspective of visual cognition but also an image-caption dataset applicable to urban-built-environment assessment. The results show that the proposed deep-learning-driven method can provide a feasible paradigm for representing high-resolution remote-sensing image scenes and large-scale urban-built-area assessment.
