The index is based on fuzzy rulebased composition of anisotropic textural measures derived from the satellite data by the gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). The case study includes multi-temporal analysis, wide area coverage (65x135 kilometers) with multiple datasets, scattered settlements, and presence of arid and semi-arid areas together with complex agricultural landscape in the background. The concept is validated comparing the output of the procedure with and exhaustive reference dataset covering 218.23 square kilometers. }, title = {Monitoring Settlement Dynamics by Anisotropic Textural Analysis of Panchromatic VHR Data}, url = {http://tlc.unipv.it/urban-remote-sensing-2007/Papers_and_sessions.htm}, volume = {}, number = {}, journal = {}, pages = {1-11}, issn = {}, publisher = {IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc.}, doi = {} }
