Invisible Information extracted from Visible Information 33 parking spaces are visible. However the image does not show 33 cars parked in the area. Only 15 cars have been parked. This picture was taken on a weekday in the morning hours. This image therefore can indicate how many cars out of the 33 are used for working purposes. This also indicates the behaviour of people in the area of the image. There is a pile of construction material on the right side of the image. The invisible information that can be extracted from this pile of cement is that there is some construction going on in the area. The invisible information of the number of people who work can tell us how many people live in the area during the day. with this number we can approximate the energy used by the people during the day and provide just the energy required. This would reduce the wastage of energy in the area. This would contribute to the planning of a more livable urban space.
