Sensing Of Impervious Surfaces (taylor &... - Remote

: Using spatial relationships and geometry to improve accuracy.

: Acts as a primary indicator of the extent and intensity of urban growth.

The text identifies several critical "proper features" and themes associated with impervious surfaces: : Remote Sensing of Impervious Surfaces (Taylor &...

The book provides detailed coverage of techniques used to extract these features from satellite data:

: Roads, driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots. Roof-Related : Rooftops and buildings. Scientific Indicators : : Using spatial relationships and geometry to improve

: Used as a unifying indicator for environmental health, specifically relating to water quality and ecosystem stress. Hydrological Impacts :

: Linear spectral unmixing, artificial neural networks (ANNs), and classification and regression trees (CART). Roof-Related : Rooftops and buildings

The book edited by Qihao Weng and published by Taylor & Francis (CRC Press) , defines impervious surfaces as anthropogenic features through which water cannot infiltrate the soil. Primary Features and Applications
