用建筑与道路数据预测城市气候区,融合遥感影像效果有限。
Predicting Local Climate Zones using Urban Morphometrics and Satellite Imagery
- 基于建筑和道路的221个形态学特征进行分类预测。
- 融合遥感影像仅在两个地点显著提升精度,其余效果微弱或下降。
- 提示城市气候区框架在形态分析中需谨慎使用。
局部气候区(LCZ)框架常用于城市形态分析,但其制图主要依赖遥感影像。本文评估了基于城市形态学(通过建筑与道路的物理属性和空间关系量化)预测LCZ的能力,提出两种方法:纯形态学预测与形态学+遥感影像融合预测。从建筑轮廓和道路网络中计算321项二维形态学属性,覆盖多尺度特征。构建四种分类方案:基于形态学、基于影像的基线模型,以及两种融合模型。在五个地点进行评估。结果显示,二维形态学与LCZ类型间对应关系选择性强且不一致,方法效果具地域依赖性;但揭示了更多形态属性有助于区分LCZ类型。相较于影像基线,融合方法仅在两个地点带来明显精度提升,其余地点增益可忽略甚至轻微下降,表明融合效益有限且不稳定。总体说明LCZ与可测量、可见的城市形态之间关联较弱,因此在形态研究中应谨慎使用该框架。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) framework is commonly employed to represent urban form in morphological analyses despite its mapping predominantly relies on satellite imagery. Urban morphometrics, describing urban form via numerical measures of physical aspects and spatial relationships of its elements, offers another avenue. This study evaluates the ability of morphometric assessment to predict LCZs using a) a morphometric-based LCZ prediction, and b) a fusion-based LCZ prediction combining morphometrics with satellite imagery. We calculate 321 2D morphometric attributes from building footprints and street networks, covering their various properties at multiple spatial scales. Subsequently, we develop four classification schemes: morphometric-based prediction, baseline image-based prediction, and two techniques fusing morphometrics with imagery. We evaluate them across five sites. Results from the morphometric-based prediction indicate that the correspondence between 2D urban morphometrics and urban LCZ types is selective and inconsistent, rendering the efficacy of this method site-dependent. Nevertheless, it demonstrated that a much broader range of urban form properties is relevant for distinguishing LCZ types compared to standard parameters. Relative to the image-based baseline, the fusion yielded relatively distinct accuracy improvements for urban LCZ types at two sites; however, gains at the remaining sites were negligible or even slightly negative, suggesting that the benefits of fusion are modest and inconsistent. Collectively, these results indicate that the relationship between the LCZs and the measurable, visible aspects of urban form is tenuous, thus the LCZ framework should be used with caution in morphological studies.
