Urban Remote Sensing is designed for upper level undergraduates, graduates, researchers and practitioners, and has a clear focus on the development of remote sensing technology for monitoring, synthesis and modeling in the urban environment. It covers four major areas: the use of high-resolution satellite imagery or alternative sources of image date (such as high-resolution SAR and LIDAR) for urban feature extraction; the development of improved image processing algorithms and techniques for deriving accurate and consistent information on urban attributes from remote sensor data; the development of analytical techniques and methods for deriving indicators of socioeconomic and environmental conditions that prevail within urban landscape; and the development of remote sensing and spatial analytical techniques for urban growth simulation and predictive modeling.

"This book is a great addition to the very few books onurban remote sensing." (Photogrammetric Engineeringand Remote Sensing, 1 March 2013)"This excellent textbook provides a thorough grounding in the usesand types of remote sensing techniques employed for analyzingpopulation, energy use, and other aspects of the urbanenvironment."
