Remote sensing of night light emissions in the visible band offers a unique opportunity to
directly observe human activity from space. This has allowed a host of applications including …

Nighttime light (NTL) remote sensing data offer unique capabilities to characterize both the
extent and intensity of human activities and have been extensively used to understand …

The nighttime environment of much of Earth is being changed rapidly by the introduction of
artificial lighting. While data on spatial and temporal variation in the intensity of artificial …

Nighttime light observations from remote sensing provide us with a timely and spatially
explicit measure of human activities, and therefore enable a host of applications such as …

The global spread of artificial light is eroding the natural night-time environment. The
estimation of the pattern and rate of growth of light pollution on multi-decadal scales has …

Satellite observations of nighttime lights (NTL) from Suomi-NPP and NOAA-20 VIIRS
Day/Night Band data have been widely used to estimate human activities. Long-term …

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 …

Consumer cameras, particularly onboard smartphones and UAVs, are now commonly used
as scientific instruments. However, their data processing pipelines are not optimized for …

In recent decades, nighttime light (NTL) images have been widely explored to portray
human footprints. Most of the studies used monthly or yearly temporal composite NTL …

Light pollution is the consequence of elevated lighting emitted by human-made artefacts to
the lower atmosphere. Recently, there have been major advances in the assessment and …
