=== | === [Occupied] Satellite Image Indices and Machine Learning for Socio-economic Estimation (B/M/P) === | ||
There are several indices, which can be derived from satellite images. For example the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) indicates the presence and condition of vegetation, while the Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) indicates the presence of built-up areas such as buildings or roads. The distributions of these and other indices may have different explanatory power to estimate the socio-economic status of locations. Therefore in this project/thesis the regression performance of machine learning models - using statistics of these indices as features - to estimate socio-economic indicators shall be evaluated for the individual and also combined indices. Optionally, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can be applied additionally, which take the derived index images as input. | There are several indices, which can be derived from satellite images.
