Abstract
In this paper, we study the land use distri- bution of the city of Munich, Germany. We describe the city as a set of Urban Structural Types (UST) related to the type of spatial patterns occurring within regions composed of 200m side cells. To do so, we resort to a set of multimodal descriptors extracted from remote sensing data, a 3D city model and open access vector information. Based on these descriptors, we train a SVM classifier and apply two structured prediction models to enforce spatial relationships (Markov and Conditional Random fields).
