Abstract

Demonstrating Change with Astronaut Photography using GEOBIA
Track: Imagery and 3D Mapping
Authors: Andi Hollier, Amy Jagge, Amy Jagge

Hundreds of images of Earth flood the CEO database daily as astronauts use hand held digital cameras to capture spectacular frames from the International Space Station. The variety of resolutions and perspectives provide a template for assessing land cover change over decades. We will focus on urban growth for Houston, TX, using Object-Based Image Analysis and contribute to the land change science community, integrated resource planning, and monitoring of the rapid rate of urban sprawl.
