[RSE 2024] 🍿POPCORN: High-resolution Population Maps Derived from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 🌍🛰️

52
/ 100
Established

This project helps urban planners, humanitarian organizations, and researchers create detailed, up-to-date population maps. It takes free satellite images from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2, along with a few regional population counts, to produce high-resolution maps showing population density and built-up areas. This is ideal for those needing current population data, especially in areas where traditional census data is outdated or unavailable.

Use this if you need to quickly generate detailed population distribution maps for urban planning, disaster response, or resource allocation, particularly in regions with limited traditional census data.

Not ideal if you require extremely granular, building-level population counts or if you primarily rely on existing, high-resolution commercial imagery for your mapping needs.
