Spectral Indices derived from multispectral remote sensing products are extensively used to
monitor Earth system dynamics (eg vegetation dynamics, water bodies, fire regimes). The …

The rapidly occurring urbanization is associated with urban land use change dynamics. The
conversion of natural land surfaces to artificial impervious built-up surfaces in urban clusters …

Impervious surface extraction with high accuracy is important for monitoring urban
expansion to sustainably manage the land resources and save the environment. In this …

This research paper presents development of a new spectral index, it was proposed to
extract the built-up area from medium spatial resolution satellite imagery data; a Landsat …

Extracting built-up areas from remote sensing data like Landsat 8 satellite is a challenge. We
have investigated it by proposing a new index referred as built-up land features extraction …

With the unprecedented rate of urbanization and industrialization in China, the spatial
pattern of rural settlements has undergone tremendous change. The spatiotemporal …

Several built-up indices have been proposed in the literature in order to extract the urban
sprawl from satellite data. Given their relative simplicity and easy implementation, such …

The current high rate of urbanization in developing countries and its consequences, like
traffic congestion, slum development, scarcity of resources, and urban heat islands, raise a …

Accurate built-up area extraction is one of the most critical issues in land-cover classification.
In previous studies, various techniques have been developed for built-up area extraction …

Studies have shown that Sentinel-2 images have advantages over Landsat images in
impervious surface area (ISA) extraction. The performance of index-based methods can be …
