=== | === [Occupied] Image-to-Image Translation of Different Nightlight Image Types (B/M/P) === | ||
Nightlight intensities have been proven to be a good indicator for socio-economic status. However, for long-term temporal analyses their use can be challenging, as different satellites for sensing nightlight intensities operated at different times (DMSP OLS 1992-2014 and VIIRS 2012-2023). Both types differ not only in resolution, but there is also a big discrepancy in the optical appearance and value ranges. To obtain consistent nightlight images for temporal analysis, Image-to-Image Translation methods shall be used in this project/thesis for the conversion between both types. Finally the performance of the translated and original nightlight images for a regression on socio-economic indicators shall be evaluated. | Nightlight intensities have been proven to be a good indicator for socio-economic status.
