Image-based prediction of residential building attributes with deep learning

Building attribute, Building form, CSBE news, Machine learning, Urban sustainability

This study estimates building attributes—floor area and age—using image-based machine learning. Building age and floor area are key inputs to the studies of urban metabolism, material stocks and flows, and embodied greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the built environment....
