Summary

Automated monitoring of construction activity from satellite imagery provides critical intelligence for urban planning, economic forecasting, and infrastructure management. This study presents a comprehensive, multi-city framework for detecting and quantifying construction zones using freely available National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) aerial photography at 0.6 m spatial resolution. We analyze bitemporal NAIP image pairs spanning approximately two years across eight major United States cities representing six Köppen climate classifications: hot desert (BWh), cold desert (BWk), cold semi-arid (BSk), humid subtropical (Cfa), oceanic (Csb), and tropical monsoon (Am).
