The most common clustering methods, e.g. K-means and ISODATA, do not work well for such kinds of datasets. In this work, density estimation techniques and density-based clustering methods are exploited. Density-based clustering is well known in data mining to classify a data set based on its density parameters, where lower density areas separate high-density areas, although it can only work with a simple data set in which cluster densities are not very different. Out contribution is to propose the k nearest neighbor (knn) density-based rule for high dimensional dataset and to develop a new knn density-based clustering (KNNCLUST) for such complex dataset. KNNCLUST is stable, clear and easy to understand and implement. The number of clusters is automatically determined. These properties are illustrated by the segmentation of a multispectral image of a floodplain in the Netherlands.","PeriodicalId":308988,"journal":{"name":"2003 2nd GRSS/ISPRS Joint Workshop on Remote Sensing and Data Fusion over Urban Areas","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132814270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Remote sensing and geo-referenced socio-economic data provide powerful tools for documenting changes in the landscape and developing strategies to minimize the effects of urban development on natural habitats. The interpretation and analysis of urban land cover change from remotely sensed images however present unique challenges due to the spatial and spectral heterogeneity of the urban landscape. Combining remote sensed data with socio-economic data sources adds complexity to the task of detecting and interpreting change. In this paper we developed a methodology to interpret and assess land cover change between 1991 and 1999 in Puget Sound Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIA), Washington, USA. We use US Census data from 1990 and 2000 to infer relationships between population growth and land cover change. Integrating these sources of data proved useful to assess the relationships between population and land cover change.","PeriodicalId":308988,"journal":{"name":"2003 2nd GRSS/ISPRS Joint Workshop on Remote Sensing and Data Fusion over Urban Areas","volume":"156 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116181928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the spectral similarity of surface materials used for different surface cover types (e.g. roofing bitumen and asphalt), the spectral information alone cannot solve the ambiguities in the class decision process. Additional knowledge, such as context information, is necessary to improve the mapping of urban surface cover types. In this paper, an existing approach for the combination of hyperspectral data and shape knowledge is extended and improved for further automation of the image analysis. The technique is tested on hyperspectral data of the HyMap sensor. The results demonstrate the potential of this method.","PeriodicalId":308988,"journal":{"name":"2003 2nd GRSS/ISPRS Joint Workshop on Remote Sensing and Data Fusion over Urban Areas","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116186908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show that RADARSAT-1 fine mode images add very limited information to the IKONOS panchromatic image for many mapping applications. One explanation for the seemingly lack of information from the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, is that the IKONOS sensor image the Earth ground with a resolution of 1 m, while the RADARSAT-1 fine mode only has 9 m resolution. Despite these matters, it is shown that RADARSAT-1 may uniquely detect certain objects or structures and thereby give additional knowledge to the interpretation of an IKONOS image. Multi-temporal RADARSAT-1 acquisitions can also be used to detect man-made changes at times when weather conditions hamper optical image acquisitions. It is expected that new SAR satellites with resolutions down towards 1 m, work much better as a complementary, all-weather information source to the optical ones.","PeriodicalId":308988,"journal":{"name":"2003 2nd GRSS/ISPRS Joint Workshop on Remote Sensing and Data Fusion over Urban Areas","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123191297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed method relies on the generalized Laplacian pyramid, which is a multiscale oversampled structure in which spatial details are mapped on different scales. The goal is to selectively perform spatial-frequencies spectrum substitution from an image to another with the constraint of thoroughly retaining the spectral information of the coarser data. To this end, a vector injection model has been defined: at each pixel, the detail vector to be added is always parallel to the approximation. Furthermore, its components are scaled by factors measuring the ratio of local gains between the multispectral and panchromatic data. Such a model is calculated at a coarser resolution where both types of data are available extended to the finer resolution by embedding the modulation transfer functions of the multispectral scanner into the multiresolution analysis. In this way, the interband structure model can be extended to the higher resolution without the drawback of the poor enhancement occurring when the model assumes MTFs close to be ideal. Results are presented and discussed on very high resolution QuickBird data of an urban area.","PeriodicalId":308988,"journal":{"name":"2003 2nd GRSS/ISPRS Joint Workshop on Remote Sensing and Data Fusion over Urban Areas","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127713234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
