摘要

The architectural texture of traditional villages reflects regional culture and is vital for sustainable conservation and renewal. However, for culturally diverse villages, current methods often lack integration of multi-dimensional evaluation and fusion of traditional and modern techniques, limiting data efficiency and analytical rigor. This study proposes a framework combining UAV remote sensing, deep learning (optimized Mask R-CNN), morphological indices, and statistical analysis. Applied to 27 traditional villages in Beijing, results show: (1) the method enables fast, accurate extraction of architectural texture with minimal manual input; (2) villages show heterogeneity in scale, proportion, and orientation, while patterns and boundaries remain stable; (3) texture features are influenced by geography, culture, history, economy, and construction methods; (4) indicators like settlement size and building proportion correlate strongly with other variables, offering insights for spatial planning. This interdisciplinary approach supports scientific evaluation and offers a digital foundation for preserving and optimizing traditional village environments.
