Abstract

Urban land cover (ULC) has a considerable impact on local, regional, and global environmental change, and has significant ecological, biophysical, social, and climatic effects (Seto and Shepherd, 2009; DeFries et al., 2010). These effects are further amplified by the temporal duration of urban changes that tend to last for decades and are often irreversible. Optical sensors on board various satellite platforms play a significant role in urban monitoring and assessment. Two representative examples are indicative of the importance of optical sensors. First, since 2009 after USGS made the Landsat archive freely available, a 60-fold increase was observed in data downloads (NASA, 2013). Second, in the last decade, there has been a strong interest from the commercial sector to launch satellite optical sensors. This interest is clearly driven by the constantly increasing demand for such products from governmental, military, nonprofit, and commercial sectors.
