Introduction 9<br />

The obtained classified maps of urban area can be used for several purposes, as<br />

urban planning [23], crisis management or in support to civil protection activities<br />

[24], human settlement damage [25] and urban thermography [26].<br />

To summarize, the idea of this study is to show how to retrieve information on the<br />

land cover from VHR images (multispectral and hyperspectral), which is possible<br />

exploiting the spectral, textural and shape information from the starting images.<br />

After a preprocessing stage, these data constitute the input for an original automatic<br />

classification tool: the proposed processing chain is able to return as output a<br />

classified image, that is a valuable source of information for decision-making<br />

processes, urban planning and NRT monitoring.
