   Sammanfattning : As of 2018, 55% of the world population resides in urban areas. This proportion is projected to increase to 68% by 2050 (United Nations 2018). The Stockholm region is no exception to this urbanizing trend: the population of Stockholm City has risen by 28% since the year 2000. LÄS MER

3. 2. Satellie Monitoring of Urban Growth and Indicator-based Assessment of Environmental Impact

   Författare :Dorothy Furberg; Yifang Ban; Margareta Ihse; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Urban growth; remote sensing; landcover classification; landscape metrics; environmental indicators; environmental impact; Greater Toronto Area; Stockholm; Shanghai;

   Sammanfattning : One of the major consequences of urbanization is the transformation of land surfaces from rural/natural environments to built-up land that supports diverse forms of human activity. These transformations impact the local geology, climate, hydrology, flora and fauna and human-life supporting ecosystem services in the region. LÄS MER

4. 3. Multitemporal Spaceborne Polarimetric SAR Data for Urban Land Cover Mapping

   Författare :Xin Niu; Yifang Ban; Paolo Gamba; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RADARSAT-2; spaceborne; polarimetric SAR; urban land cover; classification; Information technology; Informationsteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Urban represents one of the most dynamic areas in the global change context. To support rational policies for sustainable urban development, remote sensing technologies such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) enjoy increasing popularity for collecting up-to-date and reliable information such as urban land cover/land-use.

5. 4. Urban Land-cover Mapping with High-resolution Spaceborne SAR Data

   Författare :Hongtao Hu; Yifang Ban; Johan Fransson; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; High-resolution; RADARSAT-1 SAR; RADARSAT-2 SAR; Urban Land Cover; Object-based Classification; Neural Network; Support Vector Machines.; Remote sensing; Fjärranalys;

   Sammanfattning : Urban areas around the world are changing constantly and therefore it is necessary to update urban land cover maps regularly. Remote sensing techniques have been used to monitor changes and update land-use/land-cover information in urban areas for decades. Optical imaging systems have received most of the attention in urban studies. LÄS MER
