Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for impervious surface mapping of a target geographic area. The impervious surface mapping utilizes four-band imagery data and light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data collected from the target geographic area. The identified impervious surfaces can include surfaces that are obscured by vegetation, trees, or other objects. The derived area of target geographic area includes surfaces that are obscured in the aerially collected geographic surface data based on the contextual quantification of the surfaces.
