Quantitative assessment of urban wetland dynamics using high spatial resolution satellite imagery between 2000 and 2013

Abstract Accurate and timely information describing urban wetland resources and their changes over time, especially in rapidly urbanizing areas, is becoming more important. We applied an object-based image analysis and nearest neighbour classifier to map and monitor changes in land use/cover using m...
