DOI: 10.1016/j.scs.2019.101854
Abstract: Abstract Rapid urbanization has become an increasingly serious issue worldwide. While most previous studies focused on two-dimensional urban development, the spatial characteristics of building heights are rarely explored. Such information could provide valuable implications for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/lgrs.2017.2762424
Abstract: Building height is a key geometric attribute for generating 3-D building models. We propose a novel four-stage approach for automated estimation of building heights from their shadows in very high resolution (VHR) multispectral images. First,… read more here.
