Title
LandScan HD Taiwan v2
Description
This dataset includes GeoTIFFs representing the estimated population of Taiwan., LandScan HD is developed for individual countries around the world and provides gridded population estimates at 3 arc-second resolution. The LandScan HD model incorporates current land use and infrastructure data from a variety of sources, applies facility occupancy estimates from ORNL's Population Density Tables (PDT) project, and leverages novel image processing algorithms developed at ORNL to rapidly map building structures and neighborhood areas using high-performance computing environments. In this way, LandScan HD is developed using a 'bottom-up' approach where high resolution population estimates are not dependent on a recently conducted, high quality census. This approach is particularly useful for parts of the world that regularly experience large changes in population distribution due to rapid growth, natural hazards, or conflict.
