CLASSIFYING THE BUILT-UP STRUCTURE OF URBAN BLOCKS WITH PROBABILISTIC GRAPHICAL MODELS AND TERRASAR-X SPOTLIGHT IMAGERY

Classifying the Built-Up Structure of Urban Blocks with Probabilistic Graphical Models and TerraSAR-X Spotlight Imagery

Up-to-date maps of a city’s urban structure types (USTs) are very important for effective planning, as well as for different studies and applications.We present an approach for the classification of USTs at the level of urban blocks based on high-resolution spaceborne radar imagery.Images obtained at the satellite’s ascending and descen

Rates of dinosaur body mass evolution indicate 170 million years of sustained ecological innovation on the avian stem lineage.

Large-scale adaptive radiations might explain the runaway success of a minority of extant vertebrate clades.This hypothesis predicts, among other things, rapid rates of morphological evolution during the early history of major groups, as lineages invade disparate ecological niches.However, few studies of adaptive radiation have included deep time d
