“…Human population mapping is fundamental in support of a broad range of applications by governments, non-governmental organisations, and private businesses. Detailed and up to date spatial datasets that accurately describe population distribution can support the planning and delivery of services (Langford, Higgs, Radcliffe, & White, 2008), election mapping (Amos, McDonald, and Watkins 2017), estimation of populations at risk of infectious disease or hazards (Hay, Guerra, Tatem, Atkinson, & Snow, 2005;Linard, Alegana, Noor, Snow, & Tatem, 2010;Snow, Guerra, Noor, Myint, & Hay, 2005), and disaster relief operations (Bhaduri, Bright, Coleman, & Dobson, 2002;Nadim, Kjekstad, Peduzzi, Herold, & Jaedicke, 2006;Taramelli, Melelli, Pasqui, & Sorichetta, 2010).…”
