A supervised classification strategy containing a suite of techniques that allow the linking of urban land cover from remotely sensed data with urban functional characteristics from population census data is outlined and demonstrated. For a stronger link, census tract data are also interpolated into more disaggregated and more precise raster-based surfaces using GIS. Census data in tabular and surface format are then used to modify maxim um -likelihood classifications through stratified class a priori probabilities, and in terms of assisting the selection of training samples and contextual post-classification sorting. The strategy is applied to the classification of housing density of four settlements in the United Kingdom. The results show high site-specific accuracy, and improvements in class area estimates.
