Abstract:
Urban spaces are like a dramatic stage, in which buildings and street’s facades are the actors. While people are passing through streets, they will communicate the information with the environment, as well as, explore and study the spaces. People transfer the greatest number of information from the urban space and the surrounding environment through their visual senses. Hiking determines one of the main movement pattern in residential areas. Pedestrian urban spaces are for people on foot in which visual aspect is one of the most important aspect that sometime ignored by designers. The views of the pedestrian areas are the most important factors of the urban spaces which can be attractive or even boring. This research has investigated the organization of urban spaces and street improvement by using the image processing method. In order to test this procedure, 17th-Shahrivar pedestrian, placed in the east of Tehran, has been studied. The main method of research is descriptive-analytical. This method emphasis on analysis of visual aspect of the content and continues by image fixation and then using the image processing through effective parameters of the visual mechanism. In conclusion, through image processing method one can improve the quality of built environment as a pedestrian area and motivate people to walk and enjoy watching the surrounding elements of an urban spaces by highlighting some of the hidden visual features.

ABSTRACT: Urban space, Townscape, Pedestrian Areas, Image Processing, Visual Perception.
We can explore the world and gain a lot of precise details of our environment only if we can change our viewpoints from places and * This article is obtained from the master thesis of Mehdi Baba-Abbasi entitled "Organizing and Designing Urban Spaces by Image Processing Method to Improve the Townscape Using the 17-Shahrivar of Tehran as Case Study" in Islamic Azad university of Ghazvin which is defended under the guidance of Prof.
The Correlation Between Vision Mechanism, Eye Movement, Spatial Frequency and Image Processing Method LITERATURE REVIEW Tucker investigated an interdisciplinary approach which uses architecture science and computational imaging in order to expand the analysis tools that can be utilized to describe the physical features of the streetscape (Tucker et al.
The performed evaluations of photos by image processing method represents that ignoring of important visual features such as visual field, people’s vision mechanism and spatial frequencies of spaces, will cause the failure of achieving good quality of visual attraction in urban projects.
