Advanced Remote Sensing for Urban and Landscape Ecology

本書介紹了各種遙感數據的使用，例如微波、超光譜和超高解析度（VHR）衛星影像；映射技術，包括基於像素和物件的機器學習；以及地理統計建模技術，包括細胞自動機、熵和土地碎片化。遙感在解決城市和環境挑戰方面扮演著至關重要的角色，特別是在景觀層面。全球超過一半的城市人口面臨嚴重的環境和社會挑戰，尤其是與氣候變遷、農業用地侵佔、綠色基礎設施和環境退化、因快速的農村-城市轉型和人為干預所造成的流動性有關的問題。在景觀層面上，使用傳統技術的專家在映射和量化這些威脅時面臨挑戰；然而，遙感技術提供了多樣的空間數據，具有不同的尺度、體量和可及性，適用於映射和建模，並且能夠分析城市和景觀層面的挑戰。

這些技術共同應對城市和景觀層面的挑戰，以支持可持續發展目標（SDGs）。
