Mapping of Population Density [PDF]

open access: yesDemography, 1974
Abstract The Bureau of the Census listing of geographical coordinates of centroids of all enumeration districts together with population counts from the U. S. 1970 Census of Population was used to contruct via computer five nationwide geographical grids of population density with sector dimensions of 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.1, and 0.25 ...

Dynamic population mapping with AutoGluon

open access: yesUrban Informatics, 2022
AbstractTimely and accurate population mapping plays an essential role in a wide range of critical applications. Benefiting from the emergence of multi-source geospatial datasets and the development of spatial statistics and machine learning, multi-scale population mapping with high temporal resolutions has been made possible. However, the over-complex

Mapping Vulnerable Populations with AI

open access: yesCoRR, 2021
Humanitarian actions require accurate information to efficiently delegate support operations. Such information can be maps of building footprints, building functions, and population densities. While the access to this information is comparably easy in industrialized countries thanks to reliable census data and national geo-data infrastructures, this is

Association Mapping in Structured Populations [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Journal of Human Genetics, 2000
The use, in association studies, of the forthcoming dense genomewide collection of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has been heralded as a potential breakthrough in the study of the genetic basis of common complex disorders. A serious problem with association mapping is that population structure can lead to spurious associations between a ...

Principles and Applications of the Global Human Settlement Layer as Baseline for the Land Use Efficiency Indicator—SDG 11.3.1

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2019
The Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) produces new global spatial information, evidence-based analytics describing the human presence on the planet that is based mainly on two quantitative factors: (i) the spatial distribution (density) of built-up ...

A rapid and reproducible picture of open access health facility data in Africa to support the COVID-19 response [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations, 1 not approved]

open access: yesWellcome Open Research, 2020
Background: Open data on the locations and services provided by health facilities in some countries have allowed the development of software tools contributing to COVID-19 response. The UN and WHO encourage countries to make health facility location data

Improving the Accuracy of Fine-Grained Population Mapping Using Population-Sensitive POIs

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Many methods have been used to generate gridded population maps by downscaling demographic data. As one of these methods, the accuracy of the dasymetric model depends heavily on the covariates.
