SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING BLIGHT AND CODE VIOLATIONS IN IMAGES

A system for blight and code violation detection is provided. The system includes a machine learning model that is trained using photographs of properties that are associated with blight and code violations and photographs that are not associated with blight and code violations. A fleet of vehicles, such as trash trucks, are equipped with cameras to take photographs of properties along their routes. The trained model may generate a score for each photograph that indicates whether or not a property is blighted or has code violations. Those properties with a score that exceeds a threshold may be provided to a reviewer who may verify the finding. If the finding is verified, the reviewer may issue a letter or citation to the owner of the property, and positive feedback may be provided to the model. If the finding is not verified, negative feedback may be provided to the model.
