EPRU, CPSV, UPC Barcelona, Spain The Use of Remote Sensing to Describe Residential Densities Structures in Urban Land Use Remote Sensing application of Spot5 Imagery on the metropolitan area of Barcelona Edit by: BAHAAEDDINE I Z ALHADDAD 10. October 2007 PhD Researcher. Urban Management and Valuation. 26th Urban Data Management Symposium, Stuttgart, Germany October 10-12, 2007

An Overview... Land use classification process plays an important role in urban study. Spot 5 could provide enough details information for urban mapping and hence, it also presents more complex scene of urban areas. This study is to take the advantage of Texture and Segmentation Analysis appearance in Standard Imagery produced from Spot 5 for describe residential structure densities in the final classification result th Urban Data Management Symposium Stuttgart, Germany. October 10-12, 2007

Problems and Currently Approaches to Image Classification… The error of classification area caused by similar reflection (wave length) of different element inside the satellite image such as Residential urban areas and irrigated lands. At Spot5 low resolution image The small elements such as Discontinuous Sparse Urban area are covered with other big categories.

Shadow Analysis … “For High Resolution image” How it works …?! Apply FFT Filter Extraction of Shadow area TASK 1 K-Mean and Morphology filter Converting to Vector data Before After Work with GIS applications Extraction Urban Area “Applying the Mask” + Shadow layerResidential layerBoth Query Use it as Mask for R.S. applications for extracting the Residential area. Irrigated Field Have no shadow Before Correction Without correction AddOverlayExtraction Mask layerClassification dataBothClean Urban Area Irrigated Fields Have similar color of urban area Irrigated Fields Are not allowed Correct the classification error Irrigated Fields With error Correct Overlay Correct Irrigated Fields Final result After Correction With correction 26th Urban Data Management Symposium Stuttgart, Germany.

SPOT5 Madrid, 10m Texture Boundar Analysis How it works …?! The Concept... Without correction Applying Filter & work with color table... Before After Take-Off Data Change & Overlay... IT’S OVER Overlying (FC 10m, B&W 2.5) 10m 2.5m Texture Analysis, Take-Off Data & Re-classification Overlay Correct classification result IT’S OVER TASK 2 Texture Boundary Analysis … “For Low Resolution image”

THE IDEA... !? Residential Urban fabric Density 26th Urban Data Management Symposium Stuttgart, Germany.
