Abstract
Multi-temporal mapping of the Green View Index (GVI) is crucial for understanding how urban residents perceive seasonal changes in streetscape greenness. Compared to street view imagery (SVI), remote sensing data offers higher temporal frequency and broader spatial coverage, enabling large-scale dynamic monitoring. However, most existing GVI estimation methods rely heavily on SVI, limiting their ability to support cross-city and seasonal analysis. To address this gap, we present the Seasonal Green View Index 2023 (SGVI-2023), a GVI mapping dataset derived from multisource remote sensing data and deep learning. Covering 19 major Chinese cities, SGVI-2023 was developed using approximately 1 million paired samples of satellite and SVI data collected from 2019 to 2023. All data underwent strict preprocessing and partitioning. Evaluation results show strong accuracy, with Pearson correlations of 0.867 at the point scale and 0.918 at the street scale. As the first cross-city, seasonally resolved GVI dataset based on remote sensing, SGVI-2023 provides valuable support for human-centered urban greenness monitoring and data-driven urban planning.
