Land use and land cover changes associated with increased
urbanization have led to landscape and environmental changes
throughout the world. Remote Sensing Applications for the Urban
Environment places emphasis on the rapid development of worldwide
urbanization and its impact on the environment, and reviews the
assessment of urban land cover conditions using remote sensing
data. The book examines current satellite observation capacities,
the use of remote sensing data to characterize urban extent and
urban land cover, and the applications of satellite-derived data
for urban environment assessments. It also introduces cutting-edge
assessment methods and remote sensing techniques for characterizing
high-resolution imagery of urban areas in different ecological
environments. Focuses on the latest progress in urban remote
sensing and technologies used to monitor urban land use and land
cover conditions Introduces several methods used to extract urban
landscape features using high-resolution imagery Details the
methods currently used for assessing urban vegetation, impervious
surface, and urban land use and land cover conditions Describes how
to use multi-temple satellite images to monitor urban growth around
the world An up-to-date reference reflecting the state of the art
in both remote sensing and the environmental assessment of urban
areas, Remote Sensing Applications for the Urban Environment
summarizes current satellite observing capacities and the growing
demand for consistent and continuous local, regional, and global
observation data by different government agencies throughout the
world. This book serves academic faculties, students, researchers,
