A Survey of the Evolution of Remote Sensing
Imaging Systems and Urban Remote
Sensing Applications
Debbie Fugate, Elena Tarnavsky, and Douglas Stow
The increasingly diverse nature of sensor systems and imagery products, as well as
their commercial availability, have led to a broad set of applications resulting in
rich, interdisciplinary topics that come under the umbrella of urban remote sensing.
This chapter reviews the development of remote sensing systems, their contribution
to the emergence of urban remote sensing, and how they have given rise to the
pursuit of novel approaches to the study of urban environments.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this chapter, you should be able to:
Describe the relationships between the technological
advancements in sensor systems and evolving urban
remote sensing applications
Speculate on the diversity and interdisciplinary nature of
the topics addressed under the umbrella of urban remote
sensing
