研究主线
我关注 route-based 的视觉感知行人可达性：从日常服务可达的步行路线出发，识别沿途半永久、 常见且不完全遮挡通行，却会降低行走意愿的负面街景实物，如密植、停车、墙栅等，并将这些观测 转化为与感知体验相关的空间指标。

Research Focus
城市视觉环境与空间智能
Research Thread
The research measures route-based visual accessibility for pedestrians: starting from everyday service-access walking routes, it identifies semi-permanent and common streetscape objects that do not fully block movement but can reduce willingness to walk, such as dense vegetation, parked vehicles, walls, and fences, then translates these observations into perception-sensitive spatial metrics.
Selected Research Figures
