Earthquake damage assessment of buildings using VHR optical and SAR imagery
- IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing
, 2010
"... Abstract—Rapid damage assessment after natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes) and violent conflicts (e.g., war-related destruc-tion) is crucial for initiating effective emergency response actions. Remote-sensing satellites equipped with very high spatial reso-lution (VHR) multispectral and synthetic ..."

CONTEXT-SENSITIVE EXTRACTION OF TREE CROWN OBJECTS IN URBAN AREAS USING VHR SATELLITE IMAGES
"... Municipalities need accurate and updated inventories of urban vegetation in order to manage green resources and estimate the profit of urban forestry activities. Earlier studies using high resolution satellite images have shown that automatic tree detection in urban areas using traditional classific ..."

object based image analysis (OBIA) methodology to locate and delineate individual tree crowns in urban areas using high resolution imagery and existing topographic maps. We propose an OBIA approach that considers the spectral, spatial and contextual characteristics of tree objects in the urban space
1 AN URBAN CLASSIFICATION APPROACH BASED ON AN OBJECT– ORIENTED ANALYSIS OF HIGH RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGERY FOR A SPATIAL STRUCTURING WITHIN URBAN AREAS
"... Classifying the complex structures of urban morphology from high resolution remote sensing imagery comprises difficulties due to their spectral and spatial heterogeneity. This paper presents a methodology allowing to derive meaningful area-wide spatial information for city planning and management fr ..."

or structures of urban morphology. The aim apart from the information on urban morphology is the opportunity to derive indirectly standard socio-economic data for further support of city management and planning. The result shows an allocation of different urban zones within the city of Istanbul with an accuracy
Pecora 17 -The Future of Land Imaging…Going Operational November 18 -20, 2008 Denver, Colorado FUSION OF KH-SERIES DECLASSIFIED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND LANDSAT MSS DATA IN SUPPORT OF URBAN LAND COVER CLASSIFICATION
"... ABSTRACT In a continuation of our effort "The Dynamics of Global Urban Expansion", in which Landsat TM and ETM data were classified for the purpose of defining the "built-up area" of 120 cities around the world circa 1990 and 2000, the investigators have extended their analyses ..."

to the 1970's in order to provide a three-date series to assist in the calculation of urban growth metrics. To maintain spatial consistency among the derived datasets, Landsat MSS data were resolution-enhanced using KH-series declassified military intelligence imagery with Landsat 56-meter MSS data
Nighttime lights - DMSP Satellite Data
"... This paper describes an assessment of the DMSP/OLS nighttime satellite imagery as evidence of human presence and activity over the Brazilian Amazonia region. The study explores the potential of the sensor on a regional scale, and verifies the correlation between DMSP nighttime light foci and populat ..."
Abstract

that DMSP/OLS imagery can be used as an indicator of human presence in the Amazonia region in the analysis of spatial-temporal patterns in Amazonia because they are closely related to urban population and electrical power consumption. Remote sensing imagery is useful, considering the continental dimension
ROBUST APPROACH TOWARDS AN AUTOMATED DETECTION OF BUILT-UP AREAS FROM HIGH RESOLUTION RADAR IMAGERY
"... The actual process of rapid urbanisation is associated with various ecological, social and economic changes in both, the urban area and the surrounding natural environment. In order to keep up with the effects and impacts of this development, effective urban and regional planning requires accurate a ..."

Recent studies have demonstrated the applicability of high resolution optical satellite data for the acquisition of spatial and socio-economic information. In contrast, radar imagery has hardly been employed for these purposes so far. The future Terra
PERFORMANCE OF TDVI IN URBAN LAND USE/COVER CLASSIFICATION FOR QUALITY OF PLACE MEASUREMENT
"... Measuring the Quality of Place (QOP) is a hard task since it involves both physical and socio-economic dimensions. Being one of the major land use categories, urban vegetation plays a significant role in one’s judgment for QOP in a neighborhood. Both quantity and quality of the community parks and r ..."

Monitoring trends in urban growth and surveying city quarters in the city of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso using SPOT-XS
- Geocarto International
, 2000
"... City planning agencies in developing countries lack important information on the generally rapid urban development which is taking place. Remote Sensing is a promising technique which provides that much needed information. A time series of four SPOT-XS images of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso is analyz ..."
