Part II ( Chapters 2– 7) discusses several advanced and emerging platforms or systems, such as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and social sensing, which offer new opportunities advancing urban studies. It begins with Chapter 2discussing an effort to examine urban built‐up volume through three‐dimensional analyses with lidar and radar data. The authors used spaceborne radar data to monitor built‐up volume that was further validated with lidar data. Chapter 3discusses the opportunities and challenges of UAS for urban studies. UAS platforms represent a new frontiers of remote sensing applications. The remaining chapters ( Chapters 4– 7) in Part II focus on big geotagged‐data from mobile phones, social media, vehicle trajectories, and street views, which provide new opportunities for understanding human behaviors and characteristics of cities. Chapter 4reviews various analytical methods, such as temporal signature analysis, text analysis, and image analysis, for social sensing research. Chapter 5reviews the utilities of ground‐based street view images for urban remote sensing research. Chapter 6discusses the usefulness of social media outlets such as Twitter for geographic research on human activities in urban areas. Finally, Chapter 7discusses the potential of integrating remote sensor data with location‐based social media data to examine socioeconomic dynamics.
