Satellite images acquired at night provide a visually arresting
perspective of the Earth and the human activities that light up the
otherwise mostly dark Earth. These night-time light satellite
images can be compiled into a geospatial time series that represent
an invaluable source of information for both the natural and social
sciences. Night-time light remote sensing has been shown to be
particularly useful for a range of natural science and social
science applications, including studies relating to urban
development, demography, sociology, fishing activity, light
pollution and the consequences of civil war. Key sensors for these
time-series include the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program's
Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) and the Suomi National
Polar-orbiting Partnership Satellite's Visible Infrared Imaging
Radiometer Suite Day/Night Band (Suomi NPP/VIIRS DNB). An
increasing number of alternative sources are also available,
including high spatial resolution and multispectral sensors. This
book captures key methodological issues associated with
pre-processing night-time light data, documents state of the art
analysis methods, and explores a wide range of applications. Major
sections focus on NPP/VIIRS DNB processing; inter-calibration
between NPP/VIIRS and DMPS/OLS; applications associated with
socio-economic activities, applications in monitoring urbanization;
and fishing activity monitoring. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the International
Journal of Remote Sensing.
