ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, Volume 10, Issue 7

2021 July - 67 articles

Cover Story: Panoramic imagery platforms, such as Google Street View, Bing StreetSide, and Baidu Total View, provide new opportunities for urban analysis. This article provides the first state-of-the-art review on the use of street-level imagery across the spectrum of urban research. Through manual, automated, and machine learning data extraction techniques, street-level image analysis enables low-cost, rapid, high-resolution, and wide-scale data capture, enhanced safety through remote presence, and a unique pedestrian/vehicle point of view. Limitations include difficulty capturing attribute information, unreliability for temporal analyses, limited use for depth/distance analyses, and the role of corporations as image-data gatekeepers. Findings provide detailed insight for those interested in using panoramic street-level imagery for urban research. View this paper
