Short summary
Roadside noise barriers (RNBs) are important urban infrastructures to ensure a city is liveable. This study provides the first reliable and nationwide vectorized RNB dataset with street view imagery in China. The generated RNB dataset is evaluated in terms of two aspects, i.e., the detection accuracy and the completeness and positional accuracy. The method is based on a developed geospatial artificial intelligence framework.
