Housing-level urban physical examination is essential for identifying residential building problems and supporting targeted urban renewal. Existing automated inspection studies primarily rely on individual images and rarely examine whether surrounding urban functional context can provide supplementary information for building-level assessment.

arXiv:2608. 17822v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate building height information at the individual footprint scale is essential for material stock accounting and post-disaster damage assessments yet remains difficult to obtain at city scale in the Global South where airborne LiDAR coverage is rare and commercial very high-resolution imagery is cost-prohibitive or unavailable.
Accurate building height information at the individual footprint scale is essential for material stock accounting and post-disaster damage assessments yet remains difficult to obtain at city scale in the Global South where airborne LiDAR coverage is rare and commercial very high-resolution imagery is cost-prohibitive or unavailable. While recent works have demonstrated building height estimation using freely available Sentinel imagery, the resolution ceiling of resulting products is still coarse for material stock analysis.
