Description of the data and file structure

This repository contains the code and data for the paper "Understanding the Impact of Object Diversity and Connectivity on Scenic Appeal: A Quantitative Analysis," published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.

Code:

The codebase developed in this study includes scripts for data downloading, processing, and implementing two linear mixed-effects (LME) regression models for data analysis.

Dataset:

Scenicness scores for the Geograph photographs were obtained from the Scenic-Or-Not project, including three randomly selected batches of subsets.

Three batches of photograph IDs, each containing 10,000 randomly selected records from the Scenic-Or-Not dataset, are available for download from the Geograph website.
