Classifying the complex structures of urban morphology from high resolution remote sensing imagery comprises difficulties due to their spectral and spatial heterogeneity. This paper presents a methodology allowing to derive meaningful area-wide spatial information for city planning and management from IKONOS imagery. The initial point is a stable segmentation for an object-oriented approach to ...
