The V-I-S Model: Quantifying the Urban Environment

2010 
This chapter emphasizes the ecological nature of urban places and introduces the V-I-S (Vegetation-Impervious surface-Soil) model for use by remote sensing to characterize, map, and quantify the ecological composition of urban/peri-urban environments. The model serves not only as a basis for biophysical and human system analysis, but also serves as a basis for detecting and measuring morphological/environmental change of urban places over time.
