📝 摘要（中文）

城市兴趣区域（AOI）是指具有明确多边形边界的综合城市功能区。随着城市商业的快速发展，对高精度和及时的AOI数据需求不断增加。然而，现有研究主要集中在粗粒度的功能区，未能满足移动互联网O2O业务对特定社区、学校或医院的精确需求。本文提出了一种综合的端到端多模态深度学习框架AOITR，旨在同时检测准确的AOI边界并验证其可靠性。该方法利用遥感影像和地理先验信息，构建基于变换器编码器-解码器架构的多模态检测模型，显著提高了交并比（IoU）指标，超越了以往方法。

📄 摘要（原文）

Urban area-of-interest (AOI) refers to an integrated urban functional zone with defined polygonal boundaries. The rapid development of urban commerce has led to increasing demands for highly accurate and timely AOI data. However, existing research primarily focuses on coarse-grained functional zones for urban planning or regional economic analysis, and often neglects the expiration of AOI in the real world. They fail to fulfill the precision demands of Mobile Internet Online-to-Offline (O2O) businesses. These businesses require accuracy down to a specific community, school, or hospital. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive end-to-end multimodal deep learning framework designed for simultaneously detecting accurate AOI boundaries and validating the reliability of AOI by leveraging remote sensing imagery coupled with geographical prior, titled AOITR. Unlike conventional AOI generation methods, such as the Road-cut method that segments road networks at various levels, our approach diverges from semantic segmentation algorithms that depend on pixel-level classification. Instead, our AOITR begins by selecting a point-of-interest (POI) of specific category, and uses it to retrieve corresponding remote sensing imagery and geographical prior such as entrance POIs and road nodes. This information helps to build a multimodal detection model based on transformer encoder-decoder architecture to regress the AOI polygon. Additionally, we utilize the dynamic features from human mobility, nearby POIs, and logistics addresses for AOI reliability evaluation via a cascaded network module. The experimental results reveal that our algorithm achieves a significant improvement on Intersection over Union (IoU) metric, surpassing previous methods by a large margin.
