Temporal and spatial resolution requirements for extracting urban/suburban infrastructure
and socio-economic attributes from remote sen. & data are presented. The goal is to relate …

The paper explores a framework combining remote sensing and spatial metrics aimed at
improving the analysis and modeling of urban growth and land use change. While remote …

Remote sensing technology has great potential for acquisition of detailed and accurate land-
use information for management and planning of urban regions. However, the determination …

Since the early emergence of Earth observation satellites, researchers have investigated
different methods of extracting three-dimensional information using satellite data. Apart from …

Earth observation data are becoming available at increasingly finer resolutions. Sensors
already in existence (IKONOS, Quickbird, SPOT 5, Orbview) or due to be launched in the …

One of the key geographical developments over the last two centuries has been that of
urbanisation. In recent years this has exploded globally, particularly in developing countries …

Digital elevation models (DEMs) are becoming increasingly important tools in hydrological
research and in water resources management. The quality of DEMs, however, normally is …

Remote sensing has long been an important component of urban and regional planning for
applications ranging from rural–urban fringe change detection (eg Treitz et al., 1992; Bähr …

An investigation of the application of 1-m Ikonos satellite imagery to 3D point positioning and
building reconstruction is reported. The focus of the evaluation of Geo panchromatic imagery …
