Layers
This layer represents the Global Urban Footprint® (GUF®) in it's 0.4 arcsecond / ~ 12m resolution version optimized for web service access. The datasets shows two land cover categories: Built-up areas (vertical structures only) are represented with value 255 and non-build-up surfaces with value 0. Areas of no coverage by the satellites are coded as value 128. For small-scale visualisation, reduced resolution overviews have been generated with an interpolation algorithm, that computes the average value of all contribution pixels. See the link to the metadata for more information. GUF® and Global Urban Footprint® are protected as trademarks. A non-exclusive, spatially and temporally unlimited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right to use GUF is granted free of charge for a) scientific purposes on the high resolution version of GUF® (0.4 arcseconds), b) non-commercial purposes on the low resolution version of the GUF® (2.8 arcseconds).
