Examines various aspects of the field of urban remote sensing. This volume provides a review of basic concepts, methodologies, and case studies. It analyzes urban landscapes in terms of composition and structure, especially using sub-pixel analysis techniques. It also presents methods for monitoring, analyzing, and modeling urban growth.
