A Novel Index Based on Binary Entropy to Confirm the Spatial Expansion Degree of Urban Sprawl

The phenomenon of urban sprawl has received much attention. Accurately confirming the spatial expansion degree of urban sprawl (SEDUS) is a prerequisite to controlling urban sprawl. However, there is no reliable metric to accurately measure SEDUS. In this paper, based on binary entropy, we propose a...
