Abstract :
In this paper, a satellite image segmentation algorithm will be used as a tool to calculate the density of the area occupied by buildings. This information will be used to estimate the effects of the multipath propagation in a real environment. Then it will be show how this information can be used to predict the path loss of the radio wave.
