The rapidly occurring urbanization is associated with urban land use change dynamics. The
conversion of natural land surfaces to artificial impervious built-up surfaces in urban clusters …

In this research work, a multi-index-based support vector machine (SVM) classification
approach has been proposed to determine the complex and morphologically …

Impervious surface extraction with high accuracy is important for monitoring urban
expansion to sustainably manage the land resources and save the environment. In this …

Rapid and invasive urbanization has been associated with depletion of natural resources
(vegetation and water resources), which in turn deteriorates the landscape structure and …

This research paper presents development of a new spectral index, it was proposed to
extract the built-up area from medium spatial resolution satellite imagery data; a Landsat …

Fuels within the immediate vicinity of a house (eg, within 30–60 m), referred to as the 'home-
ignition zone', are important determinants of structure damage during wildfires. Methods for …

Several built-up indices have been proposed in the literature in order to extract the urban
sprawl from satellite data. Given their relative simplicity and easy implementation, such …

Urban spectral indices have made promising improvements in the last two decades in urban
land use land cover studies through map**, estimation, change detection, time-series …

An accelerating trend of global urbanization accompanying population growth makes
frequently updated land use and land cover (LULC) maps critical. LULC maps have been …

Studies have shown that Sentinel-2 images have advantages over Landsat images in
impervious surface area (ISA) extraction. The performance of index-based methods can be …
