Abstract

The urban built-up area is a key monitoring and statistics data of national and provincial statistical departments, and has become an important scale to reflect the level of urban development and predict the potential of urban development. Based on the Landsat 8 images, by using the way of spectral signature analysis, the study selected four indices, Modified Normalized Difference Built-up Index (MNDBI), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) and a set of mineral index (Clay, Iron, Ferrous), and combined with the band operation and K-means unsupervised classification algorithm to extract the range of urban built-up area. Taking Shenyang as an example, the method proposed in this paper was used to extract the built-up area of Shenyang and the Kappa coefficient of the extracted built-up area range was 0.9091 after the post-classification treatment and refinement treatment of the built-up area.
