Exploring the Potential of Machine Learning for Automatic Slum Identification from VHR Imagery

Slum identification in urban settlements is a crucial step in the process of formulation of pro-poor policies. However, the use of conventional methods for slum detection such as field surveys can be time-consuming and costly. This paper explores the possibility of implementing a low-cost standardiz...
