Investigation of the integration of AVIRIS and IFSAR for urban analysis
1998
Most attempts at urban analysis using remotely sensed imagery lack the capabilities necessary to define the detailed geometry and differentiate the textures of the complex urban landscape. This paper presents a proof-of-concept study of the potential for integrative analysis of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) and Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (A VIRIS) hyperspectral imagery for a study area in Los Angeles, California. Recent advances in the use of interferometric radar allow the definition of high resolution, three-dimensional (3~) geometry of surface features, topography, and impervious surfaces in urban areas. The radar analysis is enhanced using hyperspectral imagery to mask surfaces adjacent to structures in order to assist in the determination of baseline topography and segmentation of building footprints for improved geometric measurement of the complex urban area.
