摘要

Population estimation is a critical component in urban planning, resource management, and socio-economic analysis. This paper introduces CNNPL, a convolutional neural network-based model that incorporates optimized Point of Interest weights and various geospatial data. The study utilizes a dataset of spatial patches to evaluate the model’s performance against both a pixel-level counterpart (CNNPxL) and established baseline models, including LandScan and GPWv4. Results indicate that CNNPL significantly improves predictive performance, achieving a coefficient of determination ( \(R^2\) ) of 0.8377 and a lower Mean Squared Error (MSE) of \(1.07 \times 10^{10}\) , thereby demonstrating superior efficacy in capturing population distribution patterns while maintaining computational efficiency.
