Multitemporal Satellite Image Time Series analysis of urban development in Bucharest and Ilfov areas

In this paper we focus on the extraction and analysis of long-term satellite image time series, and on applications in urban development monitoring. A Satellite Image Time Series (SITS) comprised of more than 100 data sets, covering a time span of over 25 years is extracted from the current Landsat data archives, Then we create stacks of intra-annual images, which are analyzed by applying a series of direct multidate classifications in order to extract the annual built-up surface. The evolution of the built-up areas is then compared against population dynamics for the studied area.
