چکیده
We propose a methodology for defining urban markets based on builtup landcover classified from daytime satellite imagery. Compared to defined using minimum thresholds nighttime light intensity, imagery identify an order of magnitude more markets, capture India’s population, are realistically jagged in shape, and reveal variation the spatial distribution economic activity. conclude that data promising source study forms.

متن کاملMedium Spatial Resolution Satellite Imagery to Estimate Gross Primary Production in an Urban Area
Remote sensing data with medium spatial resolution can provide useful information about Gross Primary Production (GPP), especially on the scale of urban areas. Most models of ecosystem carbon exchange that are based on remote sensing use some form of the light use efficiency (LUE) model. The aim of this work is to analyze the distribution of annual GPP in the urban area of Denpasar, Bali. Addit...
