Urban textures and morphological distinctions

The study verifies the differences between urban morphological patterns according to the texture analysis of satellite picture fragments of Recife, considering the complex combination among its visual elements (water surfaces, vegetation, buildings, pavement, etc.). It presents the concept of lacunarity and introduces sub fragment analysis aiming at capturing subtleties in urban morphology.
