摘要
Identifying urban built-up area boundaries is critical to urban data statistics, size measurement, and spatial control. However, previous methods of extracting urban built-up area boundaries based on low-resolution remote-sensing data are frequently constrained by data accuracy. In this paper, a new method for extracting urban built-up area boundaries using high-resolution remote sensing images based on scale effects is proposed. Firstly, we generate a number of different levels of edge-multiplied hexagonal vector grids. Secondly, the impervious surface densities are calculated based on the hexagonal vector grids with the longest edge. Then, the hexagonal grids with higher impervious surface densities are extracted as the built-up area of the first level. Thirdly, we gradually reduce the spatial scale of the hexagonal vector grid and repeat the extraction process based on the extracted built-up area in the previous step. Eventually, we obtain the urban built-up area boundary at the smallest scale. Plausibility checks indicate that the suggested method not only guarantees the spatial continuity of the resultant urban built-up area boundary, but also highlights the prevailing orientation of urban expansion. The extracted Beijing built-up area boundary can serve as a reference in decision-making for space planning and land-use control.
