Title:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Structural Topic Modelling to Identify Fragmentation and Integration in AI-Driven Townscape Assessment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Artificial Intelligence continues to reshape urban analytics, we wanted to answer a simple but important question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is the field of AI-driven townscape assessment heading?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To answer this, we systematically reviewed research published between 2007 and 2025<\/strong> and applied Structural Topic Modelling (STM)<\/strong> to uncover how the field has evolved over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our findings revealed that while areas such as image-based urban modelling, LiDAR, point cloud processing, vegetation mapping, and urban clustering have matured significantly, several important aspects of townscape assessment, including architectural style, skyline, topography, and water-related attributes, remain underexplored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the key outcomes of this study is the introduction of TownscapeBench v0.1<\/strong>, an open reporting framework designed to improve the reproducibility and benchmarking of AI-enabled townscape assessment. We hope this framework will serve as a useful reference for researchers working at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, GIS, and Urban Analytics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research is not only about developing new algorithms. Sometimes, it is equally important to step back, understand where a field currently stands, identify existing gaps, and provide a roadmap for future research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My sincere appreciation goes to my team for the excellent collaboration. I look forward to seeing how this work contributes to the next generation of AI-driven urban and geospatial research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
