A Literature Survey of Local Climate Zone Classification: Status, Application, and Prospect
Buildings, 2022 Rapid urban expansion and climate change have prompted further investigations into urban thermal climates and the development of local climate zone (LCZ) classification systems. LCZs, proposed 10 years ago, comprise a new and systematic classification of

Predicting land surface temperature by different climate classification methods: A case study of Singapore [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesThe urban thermal environment has become a challenge to humans in consideration of rapid urbanization and global warming. Various climate classification methods have been developed to analyze urban form and the urban heat island phenomenon.

Contribution of local climate zones to the thermal environment and energy demand
Frontiers in Public Health, 2022 Urban heat islands (UHIs) and their energy consumption are topics of widespread concern. This study used remote sensing images and building and meteorological data as parameters, with reference to Oke's local climate zone (LCZ), to divide urban areas according to the height and density of buildings and land cover types.

Local Climate Zone mapping using GIS methods in Szeged
Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2014 Owing to anthropogenic activity, local climate develops in the area of built-up zones. The characteristics of built-up zones can be quantified by different methods. One of the methods is the Local Climate Zones (LCZ) classification system which describes

Application of training data affects success in broad-scale local climate zone mapping
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021 Satellite imagery has been widely used to map urbanization processes. To address the urgent need for urban landscape mapping that goes beyond urban footprint analysis, the local climate zone (LCZ) scheme has been increasingly used to reveal the urban ...

Uncertainty-Guided Representation Learning in Local Climate Zone Classification
IGARSS 2022 - 2022 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2022 A significant leap forward in the performance of remote sensing models can be attributed to recent advances in machine and deep learning. Large data sets particularly benefit from deep learning models, which often comprise millions of parameters. On which part of the data a machine learner focuses on during learning, however, remains an open research ...
