Street view images into detailed maps (IMAGE)
Caption
This figure illustrates how the researchers transformed ordinary Google Street View images (top) into detailed maps of urban features (bottom) using artificial intelligence. The AI identifies every pixel in an image as a specific object, such as buildings, trees, roads, sidewalks, vehicles, or people, allowing the researchers to automatically quantify the visual characteristics of neighborhoods. These measurements were then used to examine how different street environments relate to sleep health.
