Analysis of Different Sensor Performances in Impervious Surface Mapping

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed the National Land Cover Database (NLCD) to provide consistent land cover and land cover change products for the nation since 2001. As one of products in the NLCD, the percent impervious surface area (ISA), which was estimated with Landsat imagery, represents the fraction of human-made impervious area in a

Impervious surface mapping using satellite remote sensing

IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003
Landsat TM data have been used to map the percentage of impervious surface area of the seven-county Twin Cities Metropolitan Area in 1991, 1998 and 2000. Following classification of land cover types, a regression model relating percent impervious surface area to "tasseled cap" greenness was used to estimate the percent impervious surface area for ...

Urban Area Impervious Surface Estimation by Subpixel Unmixing

IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019
Urban impervious surface area (ISA) is a key index toward urban eco-system and sustainable urban planning strategy. In this paper, a subpixel approach is proposed to estimate urban ISA values using linear spectral mixture analysis (LSMA)-based hyperspectral imaging techniques.

Research on extraction method of urban impervious surface information

2015 23rd International Conference on Geoinformatics, 2015
Impervious surface is a character of urban areas. Its cover conditions, changing with urban development, have a great impact on the local climate, hydrology, and the surface energy flux of the city. Based on analyzing the theory of the principal component analysis (PCA), built up area index, linear spectral unmixing, and classification and regression ...

Aggregate selection and cost for impervious surface reduction

Urban Water Journal, 2013
This paper investigates the possibility that some aggregate gradations could be considered functionally ‘pervious’, based on comparison of an aggregate's permeability with either natural soil permeabilities or local rainfall intensities. Permeability was estimated by calculation for 27 American standard gradations, based on their porosity, coefficient ...

Factsheet #3: The Impact of Impervious Surfaces

2000
Impervious surfaces are areas of the earth that have been covered by any material that impedes the infiltration of water into the soil, including areas covered by pavement or buildings. The addition of impervious cover decreases the amount of groundwater recharge and increases the amount of stormwater runoff.

Deck construction and performance for impervious surface reduction

Urban Water Journal, 2011
Decks or boardwalks are frame structures with plank surfaces for bearing pedestrian traffic. They offer a potential addition to the list of surfacing materials that maintain perviousness of land cover in the midst of urban development. In this study, using the same type of analysis used for grate inlets, it was determined that decks' minimum ‘worst ...

Remote Sensing of Impervious Surfaces and Building Infrastructure

2005
The rapidly expanding urban surfaces of today are generally impervious to water and are a key environmental indicator (Arnold and Gibbons 1996) that can be measured with remote sensing. Roads, sidewalks, parking lots, and rooftops are usually constructed of materials that repel almost all incident precipitation.

Analysis of Impervious Surface and its Impact on Urban Heat Environment using the Normalized Difference Impervious Surface Index (NDISI)

Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, 2010
The fast urban expansion has led to replacement of natural vegetation-dominated land surfaces by various impervious materials. This has a significant impact on the environment due to modification of heat energy balance. Timely understanding of spatiotemporal information of impervious surface has become more urgent as conventional methods for estimating
