Remote sensing of impervious surfaces has matured using advances in
geospatial technology so recent that its applications have received
only sporadic coverage in remote sensing literature. Remote Sensing
of Impervious Surfaces is the first to focus entirely on this
developing field. It provides detailed coverage of mapping, data
extraction, and modeling techniques specific to analyzing
impervious surfaces, such as roads and buildings. Written by
renowned experts in the field, this book reviews the major
approaches that apply to this emerging field as well as current
challenges, developments, and trends. The authors introduce remote
sensing digital image processing techniques for estimating and
mapping impervious surfaces in urban and rural areas. Presenting
the latest modeling tools and algorithms for data extraction and
analysis, the book explains how to differentiate roads, roofs, and
other manmade structures from remotely sensed images for individual
analysis. The final chapters examine how to use impervious surface
data for predicting the flow of storm- or floodwater and studying
trends in population, land use, resource distribution, and other
real-world applications in environmental, urban, and regional
planning. Each chapter offers a consistent format including a
concise review of basic concepts and methodologies, timely case
studies, and guidance for solving problems and analyzing data using
the techniques presented.
