VisualCommunity: a platform for archiving and studying communities

Abstract

VisualCommunity is a platform designed to support community or neighborhood scale research. The platform integrates mobile, AI, visualization techniques, along with tools to help domain researchers, practitioners, and students collecting and working with spatialized video and geo-narratives. These data, which provide granular spatialized imagery and associated context gained through expert commentary have previously provided value in understanding various community-scale challenges. This paper further enhances this work AI-based image processing and speech transcription tools available in VisualCommunity, allowing for the easy exploration of the acquired semantic and visual information about the area under investigation. In this paper we describe the specific advances through use case examples including COVID-19 related scenarios.

The Use of Spatial Video to Map Dynamic and Challenging Environments: A Case Study of Cholera Risk in the Mujoga Relief Camp, D.R.C.

Changes were also needed in the conceptual approach of how to fully leverage the emotional content of the narratives, drawing on non-linear investigative strategies more typically applied in the spatial humanities [ 43 , 44 , 45 ]. Simply put each data/media input could help develop the exploratory question; the contextual insight could inform an idea, further verified on the new map, and in the video frame, before linking back to the text for other connected comments, maybe recorded elsewhere on the route [ 44 ].…”
