Remote Sensing-Based Assessment of Economic Development
This work addresses the need for policymakers to identify areas requiring economic support, but it is incremental as it applies existing remote sensing methods to a specific region without novel methodological breakthroughs.
The project tackled the problem of estimating economic development levels in Singapore using satellite data, such as nighttime light and remote sensing images, to provide statistical assessments that could guide policy interventions.
The goal of our project is to use satellite data (including nighttime light data and remote sensing images) to give us some statistical estimation of the economic development level of a selected area (Singapore). Findings from the project could inform policymakers about areas needing intervention or support for economic development initiatives. Insights gained might aid in targeted policy formulation for infrastructure, agriculture, urban planning, or resource management.
