Green View Index data from Helsinki
Green view describes the relative amount of green vegetation visible at street level and is often measured with the green view index (GVI), which describes the percentage of green vegetation in a street view image or images of a certain location. We calculated the GVI values using Google Street View 360° panorama images. By combining the resulting point data with street view images, we generated a dataset for GVI values along the street centre lines. The point and street-wise data are stored in georeferenced tables that can be utilized for further analyses with geographical information systems.
