Abstract

In this paper, a method to estimate population in urban district by using EO (Earth Observation) data has been studied and discussed. Firstly, residential district has been classified into three kinds，which are high-dense, middle-dense and low-dense, according to the investigation, and the area of each kind of district has been calculated by interpreting IKONOS. Then, the correlation between population and residential area has been studied by using linear analysis, and an equation showing the correlation between population and residential area has been determined. At last, the equation between population and residential area has been tested. Results show: it is a reasonable and adoptable way to estimate population by using EO data in some emergent situation in urban district.

Key words： research in method; population estimation urban district; EO data
