• Abstract: Urban regions are complicated functional systems that are closely associated with and reshaped by human activities. The propagation of online geographic information-sharing platforms and mobile devices equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) greatly proliferates proximate sensing images taken near or on the ground at a close distance to urban targets. Studies leveraging proximate sensing imagery have demonstrated great potential to address the need for local data in urban land-use analysis. This paper reviews and summarizes the state-of-the-art methods and publicly available datasets from proximate sensing to support land-use analysis. We identify several research problems in the perspective of examples to support training of models and means of integrating diverse data sets. Our discussions highlight the challenges, strategies, and opportunities faced by the existing methods using proximate sensing imagery in urban land-use studies.

  Geospatial predictions are crucial for diverse fields such as disaster management, urban planning, and public health. We propose StreetViewLLM, a novel framework that integrates a large language model with the chain-of-thought reasoning and multimodal data sources. The model has been applied to seven global cities, including Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, Los Angeles, New York, London, and Paris.

  We introduce an explainable framework for inferring land use that synergises heterogeneous graph neural networks (HGNs) with Explainable AI techniques. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed HGNs significantly outperform baseline graph neural networks for all six land-use indicators. These analyses demonstrate that the proposed HGNs can suitably support urban stakeholders in their urban planning and policy-making.

  Millions of people live in slums or informal settlements with poor living conditions in many major cities around the world. Remote sensing based mapping of slums has emerged as a prominent research area. Deep Learning has added a new dimension to this field as it allows automated analysis of satellite imagery to identify complex spatial patterns associated with slums.

  Overhead images can help fill in the gaps where community information is sparse. Recent advancements in machine learning and computer vision have made it possible to quickly extract features from and detect patterns in image data. In this work, we explore how well two approaches, a supervised convolutional neural network and semi-supervised clustering can estimate population density, median household income, and educational attainment.
