In EGC 2018, vol. RNTI-E-34, pp.83-94
Abstract
In this article we present a method to perform dissagregated population estimation at building level using open data. Our goal is to estimate the number of people living at the fine level of individual households by using open urban data and coarse-scaled population data. First, a fine scale description of residential land use per building is built using OpenStreetMap. Then, using coarse-scale gridded population data, we perform the down-scaling for each household given their containing area for residential usage. We rely solely on open data in order to ensure replicability, and to be able to apply our method to any city in the world, as long as sufficient data exists. The evaluation is carried out using fine-grained census block data for cities in France as ground-truth.
