  • Abstract
    This study analyzes different wavenumber spectra produced by both uni-dimensional and bi-dimensional Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of Very High Resolution (VHR) QuickBird (QB) images to quantitatively describe significant features in the images of different urban environments. The variation of spectra in the wavenumber domain has been assessed by ancillary data comparisons in the spatial domain. Some spectral properties of QB images have been investigated in both spatial and temporal domains..
