A Survey of the Evolution of Remote Sensing Imaging Systems and Urban Remote Sensing Applications

The increasingly diverse nature of sensor systems and imagery products, as well as their commercial availability, have led to a broad set of applications resulting in rich, interdisciplinary topics that come under the umbrella of urban remote sensing. This chapter reviews the development of remote sensing systems, their contribution to the emergence of urban remote sensing, and how they have given rise to the pursuit of novel approaches to the study of urban environments.
