Detecting global urban expansion over the last three decades using a fully convolutional network

The effective detection of global urban expansion is the basis of understanding urban sustainability. We propose a fully convolutional network (FCN) and employ it to detect global urban expansion from 1992–2016. We found that the global urban land area increased from 274.7 thousand km ^2 –621.1 thou...
