Urban Expansion Monitoring Based on the Digital Surface Model—A Case Study of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Plain (open access)

Urban Expansion Monitoring Based on the Digital Surface Model—A Case Study of the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Plain

This article presents a study of urban expansion in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei plain based on ALOS Global Digital Surface Model “ALOS World 3D-30 m” (AW3D30 DSM), Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DSM, and Landsat 7 ETM+ images. The method proposed in this paper can provide rapid and large-scale statistics to study urban construction expansion in the world.
