BetaBetaDataset
The objective is to map settlement extents across Ghana using satellite imagery, classify settlement types based on the degree of urbanization, and provide probability estimates for false positives, contributing to improved urban planning, infrastructure development, and demographic analysis.
The dataset offers updated information on settlement extents in Ghana, providing valuable insights for urban planning, infrastructure development, and demographic analysis. It aids in understanding the spatial distribution of human settlements and their characteristics, facilitating informed decision-making.
Building count present within a settlement polygon, represented as a range, The settlement feature as compared with Version 01 of the settlement extents, The area of the settlement extent in square metres, Categorical classification of settlement polygons based on the first level/second level of Degrees of Urbanisation (DoU).
The settlement extents are derived from Ecopia’s building footprints. Rust, Python, GDAL, and LibGEOS were used for data analysis and processing.
