Our tool named NightVIEW is powered by an efficient system architecture to easily export and analyse a huge volume of spatial data (NTL), image segmentation and clustering algorithms to find unusual NTL patterns and identify hotspots of excess night light usage as well as finding semantics of cities.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2023/833","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2023/833","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2023/0833.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2023/833.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2023/bibtex/833","volume":{"slug":"2023","title":"Proceedings of the Thirty-Second International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2023","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2023/","year":2023,"location":"Macao, SAR","dates":"19-25 August 2023","editors":"Edith Elkind","isbn":"978-1-956792-03-4","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2023"},"section":"Demo Track","track":"Demo Track","number":833,"pages":{"first":7131,"last":7134},"keywords":["Data Mining: DM: Data visualization","Data Mining: DM: Applications","Data Mining: DM: Mining spatial and/or temporal data"],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Chen et al., 2022] Jiandong Chen, Jialu Liu, Jie Qi, Ming Gao, Shulei Cheng, Ke Li, and Chong Xu.
