摘 要:Geo-information on settlements from Earth Observation offers a base for objective and scalable monitoring of the evolution of cities and settlements,including their location,extent and other *** this work,we deploy the best available global knowledge on the presence of human settlements and built-up structures derived from Earth Observation to advance the understanding of the human presence on *** start from a concept of Generalised Settlement Area to identify the Earth surface within which any built-up structure is *** further characterise the resulted map by using an agreement map among the state of the art of remote sensing products mapping built-up areas or other strictly related semantic abstractions as urban areas or artificial *** agreement map is formed by a grid of 1 km2,where each cell is classified according to the number of EO-derived products reporting any positive occurrence of the abstractions related to the presence of built-up *** paper describes the characteristics of the Generalised Settlement Area,the differences in the agreement map across geographic regions of the world,and outlines the implications for potential users of the EO-derived products used in this study.
