Remote Sensing (RS) has been used in urban mapping for a long time; however, the
complexity and diversity of urban functional patterns are difficult to be captured by RS only …

Timely and accurate mapping of winter crop planting areas in China is important for food
security assessment at a national level. Time-series of vegetation indices, such as the …

Remote sensing imagery (RSI) and point of interest (POI) are two complementary data for
urban functional zone (UFZ) extraction. However, current methods only use single data or …

Most supervised geographic mapping methods with very-high-resolution (VHR) images are
designed for a specific task, leading to high label-dependency and inadequate task …

Functional zone reflects city's spatial structures, and as a carrier of social and economic
activities, it is of critical significance to urban management, resource allocation and …

The effects of building density on land surface temperature (LST) and its spatial patterns
remain poorly understood over large areas. Using Landsat 8 satellite imagery, we quantified …

We present a novel approach for estimating the proportional distributions of function types
(ie functional distributions) in an urban area through learning semantics preserved …

Land use and land cover (LULC) change analysis is a critical instrument for studying urban
growth across the world. Our objectives were to produce historical LULC maps during the …

Functional areas are the basic spatial units in which cities or development zones implement
urban plans and provide functions. Internet map big data technology provides a new method …

Urban functional zone mapping is essential for providing deeper insights into urban
morphology and improving urban planning. The emergence of Volunteered Geographic …
