Unraveling Near Real-Time Spatial Dynamics of Population Using Geographical Ensemble Learning
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 130, 103882
Read publicationResearch question
How can population distribution be mapped at fine spatial and hourly temporal resolution?
Geographic scope
China · national hourly mapping
Evidence base
Multi-source geospatial data and geographical ensemble learning
Approach
The framework combines physical and social geographic variables with automated and geographically weighted ensemble learning to address spatial non-stationarity.
Why it matters
Near real-time population surfaces can support exposure assessment, transport planning and emergency response more directly than static census maps.
