A Pixel-scale Corrected Nighttime Light Dataset (PCNL, 1992-2021) Combining DMSP-OLS and NPP-VIIRS

, 2023
We proposed a set of DMSP-OLS and NPP-VIIRS inter-correction methods and produced a pixel-scale corrected nighttime light dataset (PCNL, 1992-2021). Two sets of reliable global nighttime light datasets were chosen as the basis.

Using Nighttime Luminosity as a Proxy for Economic Growth in Africa: Is It a Bright Idea?

Managing Global Transitions, 2022
In this paper, we question whether night light luminosity data can be used as an alternative measure of GDP in 49 African countries. For this to be proven true, evidence of significant relationships between night light data and GDP time series variables

Detection of rural electrification in Africa using DMSP-OLS night lights imagery

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2013
We report on the first systematic ground-based validation of the US Air Force Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Linescan System DMSP-OLS night lights imagery to detect rural electrification in the developing world. Drawing upon a unique survey of villages in Senegal and Mali, this study compares night-time light output from the ...

An Improved Index for Urban Population Distribution Mapping Based on Nighttime Lights (DMSP-OLS) Data: An Experiment in Riyadh Province, Saudi Arabia

Remote Sensing, 2021
Knowledge of the spatial pattern of the population is important. Census population data provide insufficient spatial information because they are released only for large geographic areas.
