u003cpu003eu003cbu003eu003ciu003eUrban Remote Sensing, Second Edition u003c/iu003eu003c/bu003eassembles a team of professional experts to provide a much-needed update on the applications of remote sensing technology to urban and suburban areas. This book reflects new developments in spaceborne and airborne sensors, image processing methods and techniques, and wider applications of urban remote sensing to meet societal and economic challenges. In various sections of the book the authors address methods for upscaling urban feature extraction to the global scale, new methods in mapping and detecting urban landscape features and structures, and mapping and monitoring urbanization in developing countries. Additionally, readers are provided with valuable case studies such as the HEAT (Heat Energy Assessment Technologies) project in Calgary, Canada and the use of VHR (very high resolution) satellite monitoring in Salzburg, Austria to tackle challenges of urban green planning. u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eu003c/pu003eu003cpu003eFeaturesu003c/pu003eu003cpu003eu003c/pu003eu003culu003e u003cpu003eu003cliu003eExplores the most up-to-date developments in the field of urban remote sensingu003c/liu003e u003cpu003eu003cpu003eu003c/pu003e u003cliu003eIntegrates both technical and practical aspects covering all different topics of global urban growth issuesu003c/liu003e u003cpu003e u003cpu003eu003cpu003eu003c/pu003e u003cliu003eProvides new and updated contributions addressing data mining of remotely sensed big data, recent urban studies on a global scale, accuracy assessment and validation, and new technical challengesu003c/liu003e u003cpu003e u003cpu003eu003cpu003eu003c/pu003e u003cliu003eExamines various applications of urban remote sensing in support of urban planning, environmental management, and sustainable urban developmentu003c/liu003e u003cpu003e u003cpu003eu003cpu003eu003c/pu003e u003cliu003eAuthors are renowned figures in the field of remote sensingu003c/liu003e u003c/ulu003e
