Zhuo Chen, PhD, from the Harrington Heart and Vascular Institute in Cleveland, and colleagues examined the association between machine vision-based built environment, measured using features extracted from Google Street View (GSV), and the prevalence of CHD. Health outcomes were predicted using convolutional neural networks, linear mixed-effects models and activation maps. A total of 0.53 million GSV images covering 789 census tracts in seven US cities were obtained.
The researchers found that 63% of the census tract variation in CHD prevalence was predicted by built...
