It is well-known that remote sensing technology has played a very important role in the urban planning and management since 1980s. In the past thirty years, as one of spatial data sources, remote sensing datasets, which contain more information of earth surface as compared with usual urban maps, have been used in urban planning and management in China. With the development of remote sensing technology...
In this research with respect to increasing role of Geoinformation sciences in environmental studies and the importance of sustainable development in urban planning, Shiraz city as the most important city in the southern part of Iran was selected for urban growth studies and the estimation of natural resources destruction during past three decades. For this purpose different satellite images of the...
Conventional thinking in urban remote sensing is to synchronize the dates of when satellite imagery is captured with the date a social survey, such as a population census, is collected. It's assumed that identical dates, or dates as similar as possible, are intuitively important in order to make sure that structure, the physical configuration of a city as captured by remote sensing, relates as closely...
This paper discussed several facets of remote sensing information applying in urban planning in China. It emphasized the application and development process for high resolution remote sensing information during the last years, including new satellite-borne and airborne high resolution optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing data sources. And, the corresponding application questions...
Urban planning is the integration of the disciplines of land use planning, transport planning, environmental planning. Urban planning should satisfy the survival demands of humans and also it should be in harmony with the natural conditions. As the concept of sustainable development accepted by more and more people, urban renewal and re-generation of inner cities have become very important parts of...
Remote sensing has been widely used for urban planning, urban environment and resources management. Recognition of some small targets is crucial for these purposes, and hyperspectral data can be used to extract targets with its high spectral resolution. This paper presented several representative algorithms of small targets detection in hyperspectral image, and four abnormal detect methods were applied...
It is well known that land cover change has important implication on urban planning, urban environment evaluation and so on. However, urban land cover information is not easy to be extracted because of its inner complexity resulting from human impact. Under this circumstance, the accurate recognition and classification of different land use types on urban area from remote sensing data has become an...
In the past thousands of years, the Grand Canal not only promoted political, economic and cultural development in China, but also formed the pattern of cities which lie along the canal called ldquoCanal Citiesrdquo. To comprehend the relationship between the city and the canal can benefit the urban planning and development. Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System technology enable us to...
Based on the analysis of China's 25 years of research and practice on ldquoURS-Prdquo, this article summarizes the practical experiences and approaches from four parts: scale, content, process and element. In addition, the feasibility to improve the application of ldquoURS-Prdquo in other topic researches on urban planning and design is discussed as well.
The eco-environmental regionalization is a comprehensive division process based on the geographical differences of regional eco-environment status. Compared to the traditional method, spatial analysis is more and more used to get the main characteristic of the eco-environment before regionalization. In this paper, TM, SPOT and QuickBird images of 2000-2008 are taken as data sources. And using Remote...
Urban planning is human purposeful, conscious social activity. It is influenced by nature and human society. Research of urban planning and urban space expansion is in the forefront of global urban research, and is one of the hot topics. China is troubled by population growth, lack of resources, ecological and environmental degradation, and rational urban development is closely related to sustainable...
3D building modeling has emerged as a focus of research as well as development for many urban planning and geo-information related applications. To its most abstract form on geometric level, 3D building roofs are regarded as the fundamental elements to present outlines of 3D building models. The emphasis of this study is to demonstrate a novel algorithm of building roof reconstruction, termed CSR...
Shenyang and Fushun are two most nearest mega cities in China. Integration of the two cities as one sub-administrative economic region is a state and province policy to promote economy development of Liaoning province. How the urban patterns of the mega cities will grow is interested to city planners, decision-makers, land managers, ecologists, geographers, and resource managers because it's special...
