In this photo, the visible information is: the building (mostly shopping centers, or office tower), lights in the building, walking streets, street trees, people, etc. 2. Meanwhile, the two “invisible information” that can be extracted out of the visible information: - Information related to the trees: type, age, density, etc. - Information related to people: Age group, walking distance/pattern, activities, etc. 3. Information related to people on the walking street can be made visible in order to identify the timing or suitable area for organizing outdoor activities in order to plan for tourism, or information about where to build parking areas for those people, etc.
