„This book is a great addition to the very few books on urban remote sensing.“ (Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing, 1 March 2013) „This excellent textbook provides a thorough grounding in the uses and types of remote sensing techniques employed for analyzing population, energy use, and other aspects of the urban environment.“ (Book News, 1 August 2011)
Urban Remote Sensing
Monitoring, Synthesis and Modeling in the Urban Environment
herausgegeben von Xiaojun YangUrban Remote Sensing is designed for upper level undergraduates, graduates, researchers and practitioners, and will be the first to be written with the clear focus on the development of remote sensing technology for monitoring, synthesis and modeling in the urban environment. It covers four major areas: the use of high-resolution satellite imagery or alternative sources of image date (such as high-resolution SAR and LIDAR) for urban feature extraction; the development of improved image processing algorithms and techniques for deriving accurate and consistent information on urban attributes from remote sensor data; the development of analytical techniques and methods for deriving indicators of socioeconomic and environmental conditions that prevail within urban landscape; and the development of remote sensing and spatial analytical techniques for urban growth simulation and predictive modeling.
