High-resolution remote sensing data can predict household poverty in pastoral areas, Inner Mongolia, China

The accurate prediction of poverty is critical to efforts of poverty reduction, and high-resolution remote sensing (HRRS) data have shown great promise for facilitating such prediction. Accordingly, the present study used HRRS with 1 m resolution and 238 households data to evaluate the utility and o...
