Change Detection of Informal Settlements Using Multi-temporal Aerial Photographs – the Case of Voi, Se-kenya
نویسندگان
چکیده
Black and white and true-colour aerial photography from 2004, 1993 and 1985 are used for studies of growth and change of informal settlements in Voi, SE-Kenya. The digital data is orthorectified, corrected for brightness variations caused by light falloff and bidirectional effects and mosaicked using EnsoMOSAIC and Erdas Imagine software. The constructed mosaics are segmented with eCognition software and classified to built-up and non-built areas, in order to produce a mask of structures, which will be extracted into vector format. A post-classification comparison change detection in building-level will be done with ArcView software between all three masks. The work is still under way, but some preliminary results are given.

Community-based tenure reform in urban Africa: the community land trust experiment in Voi, Kenya
The continued growth of informal settlements constitutes one of the greatest urban development problems affecting African cities. Projects intended to upgrade these settlements have not been highly successful. In Kenya, project beneficiaries receiving land under individual titles sell or lose their land rights. This transfer of property is seen as stimulating informal settlement construction an...

متن کاملDetecting settlement expansion in South Africa using a hyper-temporal SAR change detection approach
Recent times have seen a significant increase in the amount of readily available SAR data, with many current and historic SAR data holdings now adopting an open distribution policy. As more regular SAR observations are becoming available, the use of a hyper-temporal SAR change detection framework (utilizing a stack of potentially hundreds of SAR images) is now becoming significantly more feasib...
متن کاملImage Sources for Informal Settlement Management
Informal settlements are a common feature of developing countries. In South Africa the improvement of living conditions in these settlements and the upgrading to formal housing types are regarded as being of central importance to the nation’s development. Effective settlement improvement and upgrading activities, which we here term “management”, require adequate spatial data. To date, the acqui...
متن کاملChange detection from satellite images based on optimal asymmetric thresholding the difference image
As a process to detect changes in land cover by using multi-temporal satellite images, change detection is one of the practical subjects in field of remote sensing. Any progress on this issue increase the accuracy of results as well as facilitating and accelerating the analysis of multi-temporal data and reducing the cost of producing geospatial information. In this study, an unsupervised chang...
