Deep learning model assesses green roof potential using Swiss geospatial data

Researchers have developed a novel deep learning framework to assess green roof potential using open geospatial data from Switzerland. This model, built upon the Roofpedia dataset and a modified deep convolutional neural network, categorizes rooftops into four classes: existing green roofs, suitable for green roofs, equipped with solar panels, or unsuitable for greening. The framework was applied to Bern, Switzerland, providing urban planners with actionable data for green infrastructure deployment and is designed to be transferable to cities globally. AI

IMPACT Provides urban planners with a transferable tool for identifying green roof expansion opportunities and informing climate adaptation strategies.
