Methods and systems for algorithmically analyzing urban form

摘要

According to some aspects, a system is provided comprising at least one computer hardware processor and at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the computer hardware processor, cause the computer hardware processor to perform obtaining an image of a map relating to a geographical area, identifying, using at least one automated image processing technique, a set of angles associated with a set of edges in the image, determining, based on the set of angles, at least one of a measure of angular complexity, a measure of angular entropy, and a measure of griddedness for the image, and indicating an urban form of the geographical area based on at least one of the determined measure of angular complexity, the determined measure of angular entropy, and the determined measure of griddedness of the image.
