3Advances in Urban Remote Sensing
3.1Urban Remote Sensing Big Data
In recent years, with the development of information and communication technologies, especially the development of mobile communication technologies, the ability to acquire and transmit information has been greatly enhanced. Everyone can act as a sensor to collect data with individual tags and spatio-temporal semantic information at anytime, anywhere (Li et al. 2014a, 2014b). This has led to a sharp increase in the amount of urban remote sensing data, even a “big data” trend, that is so-called urban remote sensing big data, which are the data related to the city, mainly through interpretation, analysis, mining and other technologies, from a variety of remote sensing platforms ...
