This paper reviews the potential applications of satellite remote sensing to regional science
research in urban settings. Regional science is the study of social problems that have a …

The history of remote sensing and development of different sensors for environmental and
natural resources mapping and data acquisition is reviewed and reported. Application …

Since the publishing of the first edition of Classification Methods for Remotely Sensed Data
in 2001, the field of pattern recognition has expanded in many new directions that make use …

The spatial and spectral variability of urban environments present fundamental challenges
to deriving accurate remote sensing products for urban areas. Multiple endmember spectral …

We determine the spatial pattern of Aedes aegypti and the containers in which they develop
in two neighborhoods of the Amazonian city of Iquitos, Peru. Four variables were examined …

This study uses IKONOS imagery to quantify the combined spatial and spectral
characteristics of urban reflectance in 14 urban areas worldwide. IKONOS 1-m panchromatic …

What is an urban area? How do we know it when we see it? And how do we measure the
concept of urban, so that we can study it? This chapter reviews the many dimensions of …

A comparative Spectral Mixture Analysis (SMA) of Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper
(ETM+) imagery for a collection of 28 urban areas worldwide provides a physical basis for a …

Both moderate and high spatial resolution imagery can be used to quantify abundance and
distribution of urban vegetation for urban landscape management and to provide inputs to …

There is an increasing need to understand the dynamics in urbanization not only temporally
but also spatially for the improvement of urban environments. In spite of an enormous …
