Comparing DMSP/OLS Stable Nighttime Light With Radiance Calibrated Nighttime Light [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021 Two types of nighttime light products were derived from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program/Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS). One called stable nighttime light (NTL) is saturated in urban centers, and the other called radiance calibrated NTL (RCNTL) does not have saturation.

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.

Downscaling NPP–VIIRS Nighttime Light Data Using Vegetation Nighttime Condition Index
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingNighttime light (NTL) data, a cornerstone in the scientific community, are widely used across various disciplines. However, the spatial resolution of the commonly used NTL datasets often falls coarse for detailed urban-scale analyses. Current downscaling

Evaluation of Light Pollution in Global Protected Areas from 1992 to 2018
Remote Sensing, 2021 Light pollution, a phenomenon in which artificial nighttime light (NTL) changes the form of brightness and darkness in natural areas such as protected areas (PAs), has become a global concern due to its threat to global biodiversity.

Dynamic threats of nighttime light-represented human activities to giant pandas and their habitat
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 Human activities are one of the main factors threatening the long-term survival of wild giant pandas. Long-term and large-scale human activities can be quickly assessed by night light remote sensing data, which has been more and more widely used. In this

Light Pollution Reduction in Nighttime Photography
CoRR, 2021 Nighttime photographers are often troubled by light pollution of unwanted artificial lights. Artificial lights, after scattered by aerosols in the atmosphere, can inundate the starlight and degrade the quality of nighttime images, by reducing contrast and dynamic range and causing hazes.

Measuring the Size and Growth of Cities Using Nighttime Light [PDF]
, 2020 This paper uses nighttime luminosity to estimate a globally comparable measure of the size of metropolitan areas around the world for the years 2000 and 2010. We apply recently-proposed methodologies that correct the known problems of available nighttime
