The Spatial and Temporal Nature of Urban Objects

Remote sensing for urban planning and management: The use of window-independent context segmentation to extract urban features in Stockholm

“…The problem associated with using remote sensing in urban areas for strategic UPM purposes is the low accuracy of standard per-pixel-based classifications; thus, visual interpretation is often preferred (Sliuzas et al, 2010).…”

“…In a recent study, Sliuzas, Kuffer, and Masser (2010) argued that UPM operates on two spatial scales with different urban remote sensing requirements: local and strategic. The local scale is concerned with specific site planning and monitoring in which the recognition of objects, such as individual buildings, is important.…”

Understanding heterogeneity in metropolitan India: The added value of remote sensing data for analyzing sub-standard residential areas

“…<50 cm pixels) may be necessary to identify and extract individual buildings in slum communities, characterized by small, densely packed shanties and other structures, often important features of cities in developing countries (cf. Sliuzas et al, 2010).…”

Spatial patterns of deprivation in cities of the global south in very high resolution imagery

“…One of the identified challenges was that slum conditions can take various forms and, therefore, no universal model of slums existed. This is due to differences in slum-development processes (Sliuzas, Kuffer, & Masser, 2010), their age and thus developmental stages (infancy, consolidation, maturity), geographical location and context (e.g., central versus peri-urban or arid versus tropical coastal cities . Hence, the diversity of urban slums and geographic contexts requires methodological adjustments.…”
