Mapping Global Urban Areas From 2000 to 2012 Using Time-Series Nighttime Light Data and MODIS Products.
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing(2019)
Abstract
Mapping urban dynamics at the global scale becomes a pressing task with the increasing pace of urbanization and its important environmental and ecological impacts. In this study, we proposed a new approach to mapping global urban areas from 2000 to 2012 by applying a region-growing support vector machine classifier and a bidirectional Markov random field model to time-series nighttime light data. ...
