Abstract:Campus landscapes have a significant impact on the visual perception of students of different genders. Using the
Xinzhuang Campus of Nanjing Forestry University as a case study, this research first recorded on-site campus videos
and extracted static images using the OpenCV library. Second, from a gender perspective, volunteers were organized to
participate in subjective visual perception evaluations and objective eye-tracking experiments, and a ResNet50 model
was used to predict perception scores for the remaining images. Finally, key landscape elements influencing the visual
perception of different genders were identified, and corresponding strategies for campus landscape optimization were
proposed. This study aims to reveal gender differences in campus landscape perception and provide scientific support
for future campus landscape design.
