GHS built-up grid, derived from Sentinel-1 (2016), R2018A

Information layer on the presence of built-up surfaces derived from global Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite data, collected during 2016. The native spatial resolution of the data is 20 meters with a pixel spacing of 10 meters and dual polarisation acquisitions (VV and VH). The data was processed by fully automatic and reproducible methods based on statistical learning (Symbolic Machine Learning). No manual or ad-hoc rule-based editing of the results was applied in the post-processing. The product it is provided with a spatial resolution of 20 meters.
