Estimating Floor Area Ratio of Urban Buildings Based on the QuickBird Image
Floor area ratio (FAR) is fundamentally important for urban economic development and for urban design, planning and management. This paper tried to enhance the texture information of the QuickBird image by using HIS and PCA transform methods in Yiwu city as a case study. An object-based method was proposed to process the enhanced QuickBird image for the shadow of buildings and building object areas, and the building heights were accurately calculated based on the shadow of buildings. The building object areas and heights were integrated with an administrative district map in Yiwu city to estimate FAR. Tests with this above method demonstrated excellent accuracy in terms of FAR estimation. The high spatial resolution images have great potential in quickly and accurately estimating FAR, providing a scientific basis to policy makers and urban planners.
