Abstract
Urban remote sensing has long been a niche aspect of modern remote sensing. Aerial photo interpretation, based on national aerial photo surveys, is an established method in urban planning and in the context of urban ecological applications. Thermal remote sensing also has a long tradition in the urban context. Many other remote sensing approaches have become established in major fields of research, but not in urban remote sensing.
