Estimating Urban Impervious Surfaces by Linear Spectral Mixture Analysis: A Case of Urban Area of Shanghai (2002-2008)
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, impervious surface has emerged not only as an indicator of the degree of urbanization but also a major indicator of environmental quality. As one of the most important industry cities, Shanghai is rapidly increasing in population and area. The impervious surface expansion occurs through the encroachment into the adjacent and suburb land. Extracting information of impervious surface from satellite images allows one to monitor urban changes over time and integrate the environment management and urban planning activities [1], [2]. Estimating impervious surfaces from medium spatial resolution satellite images has therefore attracted more interests recently in remote sensing community.

Estimating impervious surface distribution by spectral mixture analysis
Estimating the distribution of impervious surface, a major component of the vegetation–impervious surface–soil (V–I–S) model, is important in monitoring urban areas and understanding human activities. Besides its applications in physical geography, such as run-off models and urban change studies, maps showing impervious surface distribution are essential for estimating socio-economic factors, s...
متن کاملSurface Urban Heat Island in Shanghai, China: Examining the Relationship between Land Surface Temperature and Impervious Surface Fractions Derived from Landsat Etm+ Imagery
This paper investigates the relationship between the surface urban heat islands (SUHI) and the percent impervious surface area (%ISA) in Shanghai, China. The %ISA was characterized from a Landsat-7 ETM+ multispectral dataset using the Linear Mixture Spectral Analysis (LMSA). Several critical steps being taken to derive %ISA were discussed, including atmospheric and geometric correction, water f...
متن کاملAssessing the Impacts of Chinese Sustainable Ground Transportation on the Dynamics of Urban Growth: A Case Study of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge
Although China has promoted the construction of Chinese Sustainable Ground Transportation (CSGT) to guide sustainable development, it may create substantial challenges, such as rapid urban growth and land limitations. This research assessed the effects of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge on impervious surface growth in Cixi County, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China. Changes in impervious surfaces were ma...
متن کاملSeasonal Sensitivity Analysis of Impervious Surface Estimation with Satellite Imagery
Numerous approaches have been developed to quantify the distribution of impervious surfaces using remote sensing technologies. Most of these approaches have been applied to data from a single time period, typically in the summer season (June to September). Presently, it is not clear whether there is an optimal time for impervious surface estimation with these methods. In this paper, the seasona...
