From: Fine-grained population mapping from coarse census counts and open geodata
Overview of the proposed method: We use a neural network to create a mapping between covariates (blue circles) and population density. The direct output of the neural network are building occupancy rates (green circle) which we multiply with the building count map to obtain population counts. We receive the supervision signal for training by aggregating the population maps to the respective census regions through summation, and comparing our estimates with the available census data.
