Possible correlation between nighttime lighting data and building height

Frontiers in Sustainability, 2022
This study examined whether nighttime light can be a proxy for building height. It is important for estimating an urban environment and urban design and understanding industrial clusters. However, it is necessary to purchase height data for a wide range of buildings, and it is difficult to obtain data in a time series.
