| Abstract: | Currently urban renewal and transformation monitoring is a relatively new remote sensing application field. In view of current status and deficiencies in remote sensing of urban renewal, this paper introduces the basic concepts, methods and applications of remote sensing in this field. Through brief review of recent advances in remote sensing of urban monitoring, this paper interpreted the remote sensing data types suitable for urban renewal; examples of applications have been presented; for the purpose of illustrating the value of remote sensing in this field. Hopefully this paper can fill the knowledge gaps in the applications of remote sensing technology to urban renewal, and can inspire new thinking in this field. Possible future directions of remote sensing in this field are then pointed out. |
