Description
Summary:INACITY is a platform that integrates Geo-located Imagery Databases (GIDs), Geographical Information Systems (GIS), digital maps, and Computer Vision (CV) to collect and analyze urban street-level images. The platform’s software architecture is a client–server model, where the client-side is a simple Web page that allows the user to select regions of a map and select filters to analyze and visualize urban features. The server side is a Django-powered Web service with PostgreSQL and Neo4j databases. Users can select a region of a map, an image filter, and geographical features to analyze relevant urban characteristics as trees, for instance, using the platform. An open-source implementation of the platform is available. The architecture is extensible, and it is easy to add new modules or replace the existing ones with new digital maps, GIS databases, other CV filters, or other GIDs.
