My apologies. All the data is available at 1km resolution, not 1m. Thanks, Shubham Goel

Yes the NOAA data is available for public use.There's also an R package to do the same - https://github.com/walshc/nightlights A Google search also revealed an API which returns the nightlight information for every Indian village. Here's the link- http://api.nightlights.io/ Not sure if there's an upper limit to the number of queries. 2. Yes, I believe VIIRS provides 1m nightlight data Shubham Goel On Fri, Sep 7, 2018 1:31 AM, Raja Chakraborty [email protected] wrote: Hi, I have few queries on the available datasets 1. you have stated that NOAA nightlight data available across the globe at 1m resolution. is it freely available for the general researcher? 2. As per my knowledge images using nighttime data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS). Do they have 1m resolution?

Some Stanford researchers have done similar work for African countries. Link - http://sustain.stanford.edu/predicting-poverty/ They've used nightlight data from NOAA (available across the globe at 1m resolution) along with imagery from Google Static Maps API to build their CNN architecture (along with using survey data) Do let me know your thoughts on the same.
