World Settlement Footprint 2015
The World Settlement Footprint (WSF) 2015 is a 10m resolution binary mask outlining the extent of human settlements globally derived by means of 2014-2015 multitemporal Landsat-8 and Sentinel-1 imagery (of which ~217,000 and ~107,000 scenes have been processed, respectively). The temporal dynamics of human settlements … landcover landsat-derived sentinel1-derived settlement urban -
