“…Population estimation can be supported by EO data (Bjorgo, 2000;Checchi, Stewart, Palmer, & Grundy, 2013;Giada, de Groeve, & Ehrlich, 2003;Kemper, Jenerowicz, Gueguen, & Poli, 2011;Lang et al, 2010;Tiede, Füreder, Lang, Hölbling, & Zeil, 2013). While using EO data individuals are not directly visible, but indicators of human presence (Ehrlich et al, 2009;Kelly, 1998) such as huts, tents and other infrastructure elements can be detected and the population can be estimated by multiplying each structure by an average structure occupancy rate (Füreder, Lang, Rogenhofer, Tiede, & Papp, 2015). Visual image interpretation, still the most common way of dwelling counting, is generally seen superior to algorithmic approaches in identifying complex features and structures (Checchi et al, 2013).…”
