Predicting the state of a house using Google Street View : an analysis of deep binary classification models for the assessment of the quality of Flemish houses

Abstract
Currently, the state of a house is typically assessed by an expert, which is time and resource intensive. Therefore, an automatic assessment could have economic, social and ecological benefits. Hence, this study presents a binary classification model using transfer learning to classify Google Street View images of houses. For this purpose, a three-by-three analysis is conducted that allows to compare three different network architectures and three differently-sized data sets, using properties located in Leuven, Belgium. A DenseNet201 architecture was found to work best, as illustrated quantitatively as well as by means of state-of-the-art explainability methods.
