Multi-dimensional representation of urban settings has received a great deal of attention among urban planners, policy makers, and urban scholars. This is due to the fact that cities grow vertically and new urbanism strategies encourage higher densit...
As wetlands are one of the world’s most important ecosystems, their vulnerability necessitates the constant monitoring and mapping of their changes. Satellite-based remote sensing has become an essential data source for mapping and monitoring w...
Known to be structured in several patterns at the same time, the prior image of interest is always modeled with the idea of enforcing multiple constraints on unknown signals. For instance, when dealing with a hyperspectral restoration problem, the co...
Buildings represent the most relevant features of human activity in urban regions, but their change detection using very-high-resolution (VHR) remote sensing imagery is still a major challenge. Effective representation of the building is the key poin...
This research aims to investigate how different landscape metrics are affected by the enhancement of the thematic classes in land cover/land use (LC/LU) maps. For this aim, three different LC/LU maps based on three different levels of CORINE (Coordin...
The progressive TIN (triangular irregular network) densification (PTD) filter algorithm is widely used for filtering point clouds. In the PTD algorithm, the iterative densification parameters become smaller over the entire process of filtering. This...
The European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post-2020 timeframe reform will reshape the agriculture land use control procedures from a selected risk fields-based approach into an all-inclusive one. The reform fosters the use of Sentinel data with t...
Crowd-sourced geographic information is becoming increasingly available, providing diverse and timely sources for updating existing spatial databases to facilitate urban studies, geoinformatics, and real estate practices. However, the discrepancies b...
Vegetation plays an irreplaceable role for urban ecosystem services. Urban greenness represents all vegetation cover in and around cities. Understanding spatiotemporal patterns of the changes in urban greenness (CUG) provides fundamental clues for ur...
This paper introduces an urban growth simulation model applied to the full scope of China. The model uses a multicriteria decision analysis to calculate the land conversion probability and then integrates it with a cellular automata model. A nonlinea...
