Global settlement data -20 m- (GHS Sentinel 1)

A global map of built-up presence derived from backscattered information of Sentinel1 images. Both the GHS BUILT-UP GRID (LDS) as derived from Landsat image collections and the GlobeLand30 (GLC30) were used for training of the Symbolic Machine Learning (SML) classifier.

20m of resolution - Spherical Mercator (EPSG:3857)

Dataset name (size): GHS_BUILT_S12016NODSM_GLOBE_R2016A_3857_20

Legend:

0 = no built-up

1 = built-up
