Generative AI for Urban Planning: Synthesizing Satellite Imagery via Diffusion Models
- 用Stable Diffusion+ControlNet,根据用地描述生成图像。
- 在三大美国城市数据上实现高保真、多样化城市景观生成。
- 生成结果获规划师和公众认可,优于真实图片。
生成式AI为自动化城市规划带来新机遇,可生成特定场地的城市布局并支持灵活设计探索。然而,现有方法在大规模生成真实且可行设计方面仍存挑战。为此,我们采用先进的Stable Diffusion模型,并引入ControlNet,基于土地利用描述、基础设施和自然环境信息生成高保真卫星影像。为解决数据不足问题,我们将卫星影像与来自OpenStreetMap的结构化土地利用及约束信息进行空间关联。基于三个美国主要城市的数据,实验表明该扩散模型可通过调整土地利用配置、道路网络和水体布局,生成真实且多样化的城市景观,支持跨城市学习与设计多样性。我们还系统评估了不同语言提示和控制图像对生成质量的影响。模型在FID和KID指标上表现优异,在多种城市背景下均具鲁棒性。城市规划师与公众的定性评估显示,生成图像与设计描述和约束高度一致,且常被偏好于真实图像。本工作建立了可控城市影像生成的基准,凸显生成式AI在提升规划流程与公众参与中的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generative AI offers new opportunities for automating urban planning by creating site-specific urban layouts and enabling flexible design exploration. However, existing approaches often struggle to produce realistic and practical designs at scale. Therefore, we adapt a state-of-the-art Stable Diffusion model, extended with ControlNet, to generate high-fidelity satellite imagery conditioned on land use descriptions, infrastructure, and natural environments. To overcome data availability limitations, we spatially link satellite imagery with structured land use and constraint information from OpenStreetMap. Using data from three major U.S. cities, we demonstrate that the proposed diffusion model generates realistic and diverse urban landscapes by varying land-use configurations, road networks, and water bodies, facilitating cross-city learning and design diversity. We also systematically evaluate the impacts of varying language prompts and control imagery on the quality of satellite imagery generation. Our model achieves high FID and KID scores and demonstrates robustness across diverse urban contexts. Qualitative assessments from urban planners and the general public show that generated images align closely with design descriptions and constraints, and are often preferred over real images. This work establishes a benchmark for controlled urban imagery generation and highlights the potential of generative AI as a tool for enhancing planning workflows and public engagement.
