The Population Seen from Space: When Satellite Images Come to the Rescue of the Census
Edith Darin, Mathias Kuépié, Hervé Bassinga, Gianluca Boo, Andrew J. Tatem, Translated by Paul Reeve
The size of the population, the denominator of many statistical indicators, is crucial for public policy. National statistical offices organize the collection of this information, most often through a census. But what happens when parts of a country are not accessible to census enumerators? Today, spatial data extracted from satellite imagery(...)
