Description
Elsevier Earth Observation in Urban Monitoring Techniques and Challenges 1ed by Kumar, Srivastava, Saikia & Kumar Mall
Earth Observation in Urban Monitoring: Techniques and Challenges presents the latest techniques of remote sensing in urban monitoring, along with methods for quantitative and qualitative assessment using state-of-the-art Earth observation technologies. The book details the advances of remote sensing technologies in urban environmental monitoring for a range of practical and research applications, Earth observation datasets, remote sensing of environmental considerations, geostatistical techniques and resilience perspectives. Chapters cover sensor applications, urban growth modelling, SAR applications, surveying techniques, satellite time series analysis and a variety of other remote sensing technologies for urban monitoring.
Each chapter includes detailed case studies at a variety of scales and from a variety of geographies, offering up-to-date, global, urban monitoring methodologies for researchers, scientists and academics in remote sensing, geospatial research, environmental science and sustainability.
Focuses on a variety of interdisciplinary applications using Earth observation data, GIS and soft computing techniques to address various challenges in urban monitoring
Provides numerous case studies at a variety of scales, from local to global, to aid readers in implementing urban monitoring techniques at any level
Includes theoretical and applied research contributions along with background information on the use of concurrent technologies in the disciplines of urban studies
