Image Generation based on the Perceived Sensory Dimensions

Sammanfattning

As urbanization and densification increases there appears to be a reduction in available green space. This is a concern as links between people's health and exposure to greenspaces have been found. The perceived sensory dimensions (PSDs), which consist of eight environmental qualities that support people's needs in various ways, have been proposed as a way of helping in the designing and planning of urban green spaces. In this study, we explore the feasibility of training a generative model to generate images based on values representing the PSDs. We hope that this could serve as a possible tool to help in designing greenspaces in the future. To evaluate our model we make use of a questionnaire. The results of the questionnaire suggest that combining the PSDs with a generative model is likely to be possible and something that could be worth exploring further.
