Urban features including façade features, window size, building age, land use, tree coverage, density are important parameters to determine urban sustainability, energy and climate performance for cities and buildings herewith in. However, it is difficult to extract such information in the real cities due to the complexity of the urban texture.
Harnessing the wealth of urban big data, from street views to satellite and infrared imagery, this PhD project aims to pioneer the use of computer vision techniques in extracting critical urban features. The objective is to provide ground-breaking analyses for urban-level sustainability and climate impact assessments.
Applicants are expected to have a very good bachelor’s or master’s degree in the subjects of architectural and urban science, environmental engineering, urban planning and design or related subject. Programming skills are preferred. Previous experience on big data and machine learning on computer vision is especially welcome. The PhD student will join a vibrant research group, comprised of leading experts in the areas of urban microclimate, architecture and urban design, computer science.
