Land surface temperature (LST) is a fundamental Earth parameter, on both regional and global scales. We used seven Landsat images to derive LST at Suzhou City, in spring summer 1996, 2004, 2016, examined the spatial factors that influence patterns. Candidate include (1) land coverage indices, such as normalized difference built-up index (NDBI), vegetation (NDVI), water (NDWI), (2) proximity distances city center, town centers, major roads, (3) location. Our results showed intensity of urban...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image positioning is commonly affected by factors such as platform instability, aging of onboard instruments, and changing observation environments. Thus, geometric calibration needed to improve the accuracy before mapping application. An improved model for SAR images was developed, which does not require long-delayed meteorological data fields. In this method, standard atmospheric Saastamoinen models (SAM-S) are combined delay correction, integrated method...

Incorporating spatial nonstationarity in urban models is essential to accurately capture its spatiotemporal dynamics. Spatially-varying coefficient methods, e.g. geographically weighted regression (GWR) and the Bayesian spatially-varying (BSVC) model, can reflect nonstationarity. However, GWR possess weak ability eliminating negative effects of non-constant variance because method sensitive data outliers bandwidth selection. We proposed a new cellular automata (CA) approach based on BSVC for...
