Indian economy and Nighttime Lights [PDF]
2021 International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Knowledge Economy (ICCIKE), 2021 Forecasting economic growth of India has been traditionally an uncertain exercise. The indicators and factors affecting economic structures and the variables required to model that captures the situation correctly is point of concern. Although the forecast should be specific to the country we are looking at however countries do have interlinkages among

The Annual Cycling of Nighttime Lights in India [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 India is known to have unstable power supply, and many locations show an annual cycle in VIIRS Nighttime Light (VNL). In this study, autocorrelation function (ACF) analysis is used to identify the annual cycling in VNL. Two fundamentally different classification techniques are proposed to classify the ACF profile into one of the three arch types, i.e.,

First Nighttime Light Spectra by Satellite—by EnMAP [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2023 For the first time VIS/NIR-SWIR (visible and near infrared – shortwave infrared) nighttime spectra of a satellite mission are analyzed, using the EnMAP (Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program) high-resolution imaging spectrometer. The focus of this article is set on the spectral characteristics.
