Popularity of high resolution image makes it possible to interpret the internal land use condition within settlement. The
categorization of settlement is firstly made as rural (mountain, plain) and urban (city village, living block) areas. Then
object-based and generic network image processing methods are primarily used in the extraction from the merged
Quickbird and SPOT high resolution image. With mathematical as well as geometrical model, indices such as building
density, floor area ratio, green ratio and space ratio are extracted accordingly. Meanwhile, land use map, field survey
and cadastral map are employed for the estimation and accuracy assessment. In the end, analysis and comparison are
made for land use condition within settlement.
The abundance of high resolution image information and the intensity of urban spatial system can be combined
organically in the process of image understanding, information extraction and quota measurement. The evaluation
indices of urban land use intensity extracted from Quickbird image include building density, floor ratio area, green ratio,
vacancy ratio, and etc. Firstly, land use condition in the research area is acquired through the overlay of Quickbird image
and Wuhan land use map. Secondly, the study adopts spectral threshold segmentation method to extract building
shadow, object-oriented classification method to obtain building base area, shadow-based height reversion approach to
estimate building height in typical urban residential block and object-oriented segmentation and classification approach
to estimate concerned indices in city village. In the end, the comparison and discussion of urban land intensity are made
according to BD and FAR in urban residential block and city village respectively. It is concluded that FAR (floor ratio
area) in urban residential block can be planned higher and BD (building density) in city village should be lower
according to the present planning regulations in Wuhan.
