Earth Observation in Urban Monitoring: Techniques and Challenges presents the latest techniques of remote sensing in urban monitoring, and 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, through Earth observation datasets, remote sensing of environmental considerations, geostatistical techniques and resilience perspectives. The 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, to help readers develop a deeper understanding of the principles of the applied approaches. Earth Observation in Urban Monitoring: Techniques and Challenges offers up-to-date, global urban monitoring methodologies for researchers, scientists, and academics in remote sensing, geospatial research, environmental science, and sustainability, providing them with a critical overview of state-of-the-art Earth observation technologies in urban monitoring and management.
