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.

Potentiality of SDGSAT-1 glimmer imagery to investigate the spatial variability in nighttime lights
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2023 The successful launch of Sustainable Development Science Satellite 1 (SDGSAT-1) complements the existing nighttime lights (NTL) data with high spatial resolution in the three visible bands (40 m) and the panchromatic band (10 m). This study aimed to evaluate the potentiality of the new NTL imagery – SDGSAT-1 – in revealing the spatial variation in NTL ...
