title = "Assessing the quality of Global Human Settlement Layer products for Kampala, Uganda",
abstract = "This paper evaluates the quality of Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) data (10 m pixels) derived from a 2010 QuickBird image of the city of Kampala, Uganda. The evaluation is carried out through visual and statistical comparison with a reference data set consisting of building footprints of the same year. Seven sample areas from 35-194 Ha in size were used for the comparison. Results show that although the GHSL layer gives a strong visual impression of the major morphology of the city, there are considerable misclassifications at pixel level.",
