The nature of the diffuse light near cities detected in nighttime satellite imagery [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractDiffuse glow has been observed around brightly lit cities in nighttime satellite imagery since at least the first publication of large scale maps in the late 1990s. In the literature, this has often been assumed to be an error related to the sensor, and referred to as “blooming”, presumably in relation to the effect that can occur when using a ...

Georeferencing Urban Nighttime Lights Imagery Using Street Network Maps [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2022 Astronaut photography acquired from the International Space Station presently is the only available option for free global high-resolution nighttime light (NTL) imagery. Unfortunately, these data are not georeferenced, meaning they cannot easily be used for many remote sensing applications such as change detection or fusion.
