"To increase the utility of satellite imagery as a source of cheap and current information for planning and managing cities some problems have to be resolved.... One answer is to adopt interpretation methods that use the increased information in a more detailed scene. This paper reports on attempts to measure the morphological patterns in an urban satellite scene and to use these for image interpretation. The interpretation task addressed is the estimation of residential dwelling units from the patterns discernible in high resolution satellite images of cities. The practical results include dwelling estimates that can be aggregated to any geographical unit of analysis, population estimates for cities and a dwelling density surface that can be categorised into any number of residential land-use classes."
为了提高卫星图像作为城市规划和管理中廉价且及时的信息来源的效用，一些问题必须得到解决……一种解决办法是采用能在更详细场景中利用更多信息的解释方法。本文报告了测量城市卫星场景中的形态模式并将其用于图像解释的尝试。所涉及的解释任务是根据城市高分辨率卫星图像中可识别的模式来估计住宅单元数量。实际成果包括可汇总到任何地理分析单元的住宅估计数、城市人口估计数以及可分类为任意数量住宅土地利用类别的居住密度表面。
