Fight Blight with ArcGIS and Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

In order for communities to fight blight, it is essential to know the condition of properties. Historically performing property condition surveys required inspectors to physically visit properties, fill out forms and take pictures. For many communities, this was a slow and expensive process. The Property Condition Survey configuration available with ArcGIS significantly reduces the time and cost associated with performing property surveys by applying artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to street-level property photos and automatically calculate a blight probability for every property. Once blight probabilities are calculated communities can take action against individual properties to fix blight or make policy changes to reverse neighborhoods that are blighted or trending toward blighted.
