Uncovering the Nature of Urban Land Use Composition Using Multi-Source Open Big Data with Ensemble Learning

Detailed information on urban land uses has been an essential requirement for urban land management and policymaking. Recent advances in remote sensing and machine learning technologies have contributed to the mapping and monitoring of multi-scale urban land uses, yet there lacks a holistic mapping...
