CNN-Based Spectral Super-Resolution of Panchromatic Night-Time Light Imagery: City-Size-Associated Neighborhood Effects

Data on artificial night-time light (NTL), emitted from the areas, and captured by satellites, are available at a global scale in <i>panchromatic</i> format. In the meantime, data on <i>spectral</i> properties of NTL give more information for further analysis. Such data, howe...
