Urban expansion analysis of Chongqing main city based on nighttime lighting data
Nighttime lighting data can image the lighting characteristics of a city at night,which can reveal the intensity of human activity.It has gradually become a reliable data source for monitoring urban expansion because of its wide coverage and high frequency.In this paper,the main city center within the main planning scope of Chongqing is taken as the research object.The DMSP/OLS and NPP/VIIRS nighttime lighting data,supplemented by MODIS NDVI data and Landsat data,are used to extract the extent of urban built-up areas within the region and to study the spatial and temporal evolutionary characteristics of urban built-up area expansion.The results show that:The nighttime lighting data can effectively extract long time-series information about the urban built-up areas in the main city of Chongqing;The scope of the urban built-up area in the main urban area of Chongqing shows a trend of expansion from the center to the surrounding area;The development of urban built-up areas in the nine districts of Chongqing's main city has obvious spatial differentiation.
