(2019) Binary classification of the Kinshasa and Bandundu provinces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo — settled versus non settled. Zenodo doi:10.5281/zenodo.3562191 [Dataset]

Record type: Dataset

Abstract

This dataset was created based on a settlement layer produced by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory using feature extraction from high-resolution imagery for population modelling work undertaken in the Kinshasa and Kongo-Central provinces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The settlement layer consists of settlement polygons of approximately 7 meters resolution. The polygons were rasterized based on a reference grid with a resolution of 3 arc-seconds, approximately 90 meters. The presence of at least one settlement polygon designated a settled cell. We thank the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for the support. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Eric M. Webber and Amy N. Rose at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Io Blair-Freese at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
