The next ten years will see rapid increases in Canadian and global needs for urban infrastructure construction. This will create enormous demand for primary resources, accelerating environmental degradation and global climate change. In her CRC program, Prof. Saxe will develop the world¿s first image-based infrastructure material analysis data set and new machine learning methods to recognize material use from street view and aerial photographs. This project will yield essential new data and methods for understanding construction material use in cities and evidence-based design of infrastructure systems to help moderate resource consumption.
