Urban High-Resolution Remote Sensing

Preface

With increasing interest in and requests for applications of remote sensing in urban areas, the development of urban remote sensing algorithms and methodologies driven by applications from different fields has become imperative. In addition to the traditional fields of application such as land use and cover and environmental pollution monitoring, remote sensing has been widely applied in other fields such as micro-climate analysis, cell phone planning, and socioeconomic analysis.

The objective of this book is to provide readers with algorithms and methods with an emphasis on urban three-dimensional modeling, urban orthophotomap generation, and urban feature extraction from high-resolution urban remotely sensed imagery. On the other ...
