Impacts of spatial scale on the delineation of spatiotemporal urban expansion

The delineation of spatiotemporal urban expansion highly depends on the selection of moving window size. Few studies examine the effects of moving window size and the scaling mechanism when analyzing urban expansion patterns. This study selected nine moving windows from 450 m to 4050 m with a scale...
