Using multisource data and the V-I-S model in assessing the urban expansion of Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia

This paper examines the application of remote sensing, based on the Vegetation-Impervious surface-Soil (V-I-S) model and spatial metrics, in an urban analysis for promoting sustainability and understanding urban growth theory. In order to improve the accuracy of land-cover classification, spectral a...
