Urban Nighttime Leisure Space Mapping with Nighttime Light Images and POI Data [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2020 Urban nighttime leisure spaces (UNLSs), important urban sites of nighttime economic activity, have created enormous economic and social benefits. Both the physical features (e.g., location, shape, and area) and the social functions (e.g., commercial streets, office buildings, and entertainment venues) of UNLSs are important in UNLS mapping.

Estimating Local Inequality from Nighttime Lights [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 Economic inequality at the local level has been shown to be an important predictor of people’s political perceptions and preferences. However, research on these questions is hampered by the fact that local inequality is difficult to measure and systematic data collections are rare, in particular in countries of the Global South.

New Composite Nighttime Light Index (NCNTL): A New Index for Urbanization Evaluation Research
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2023 This article employs the 2018 National Polar-Orbiting Partnership/Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (NPP/VIIRS) and Luojia_01 nighttime light imagery to construct a New Composite Nighttime Light Index, which is NCNTL.

Dynamics and spatial distribution of global nighttime lights [PDF]
EPJ Data Science, 2013 Using open source data, we observe the fascinating dynamics of nighttime light. Following a global economic regime shift, the planetary center of light can be seen moving eastwards at a pace of about 60 km per year. Introducing spatial light Gini coefficients, we find a universal pattern of human settlements across different countries and see a global ...

Evolution of Urban Spatial Clusters in China: A Graph-Based Method Using Nighttime Light Data
, 2022 An urban spatial cluster (USC) describes one or more geographic agglomerations and the linkages among cities. USCs are conventionally delineated based on predefined administrative boundaries of cities, without considering the dynamic and evolving nature ...
