GHSL: Global Human Settlement Layers, Built-Up Grid 1975-1990-2000-2015 (P2016) (JRC/GHSL/P2016/BUILT_LDSMT_GLOBE_V1)
Version v1
The GHSL relies on the design and implementation of new spatial data mining
technologies allowing to automatically process and extract analytics and
knowledge from large amount of heterogeneous data including: global,
fine-scale satellite image data streams, census data, and crowd sources or
volunteered geographic information sources.
These data contain a multitemporal information layer on built-up presence as
derived from Landsat image collections (GLS1975, GLS1990, GLS2000, and
ad-hoc Landsat 8 collection 2013/2014).
The data have been produced by means of Global Human Settlement Layer
methodology
in 2015.
