Abstract
Satellite remote sensing data is considered as very important source of information and tool for data analysis and visualization. The detection of impervious surface (IS) in heterogeneous urban areas is one of the most challenging tasks in urban remote sensing. With the advent of very high spatial resolution such as Worldview-2(WV2) we are able to utilize high spatial and spectral information which is inherent in this type of image. This presentation investigates how this satellite data is currently being used to better detect and discriminate IS. In this presentation we will present mainly two case studies one on road and another on roof materials. In detail development of spectral index to extract road network automatically and generic model extraction for detection roof materials using WV2 satellite imagery will be discussed and addressed.
