Scientific contributions from remote sensing over the last fifty years have significantly
advanced our understanding of urban areas. Key contributions of urban remote sensing …

This paper reviewed major remote sensing image classification techniques, including pixel-
wise, sub-pixel-wise, and object-based image classification methods, and highlighted the …

There is currently a lack of knowledge regarding the spatiotemporal variation of day and
night surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) in the major cities of Bangladesh. These …

The amount of impervious surface is an important indicator in the monitoring of the intensity
of human activity and environmental change. The use of remote sensing techniques is the …

Urban impervious surface coverage is an important parameter to understand effects of hydro-
environment on the process of urbanization. Impervious surfaces have altered urban …

Land cover map** in complex environments can be challenging due to their landscape
heterogeneity. With the increasing availability of various open-access remotely sensed …

Accurately characterizing spatiotemporal changes in surface urban heat islands (SUHIs) is a
prerequisite for sustainable urban development. Although urban administrative boundaries …

Cities are major drivers of environmental change at all scales and are especially at risk from
the ensuing effects, which include poor air quality, flooding and heat waves. Typically, these …

This paper focuses on the relationship between remotely-sensed urban site characteristics
(USCs) and land surface temperature (LST). Particular emphasis is put on an extensive …

Arid and semi-arid regions have different spectral characteristics from other climatic regions.
Therefore, appropriate remotely sensed indicators of land use and land cover types need to …
