Refugee Settlement Detection and Population Displacement Tracking
Quantify population displacement and track informal settlement growth across conflict zones. Klarety processes Sentinel-2 optical and night-time lights composites to detect new shelter clusters, estimate settlement population scale, and map migration corridor changes month-over-month. NGOs and UN agencies use reports to direct aid allocation and camp planning.

Settlement detection reports from satellite composites
Klarety agents process Sentinel-2 and night-lights data and return monthly settlement growth estimates with population scale proxies.
Night-lights and optical shelter cluster detection
Agents detect new built-up signatures in Sentinel-2 and corroborate with VIIRS night-lights to estimate settlement population scale.
Settlement layers for UN and NGO response GIS
Export new settlement polygons with population scale estimates for UNHCR camp planning and humanitarian GIS coordination tools.
Sentinel-2 and VIIRS night-lights settlement detection
Klarety agents detect new built-up structures using NDVI-loss and SWIR-increase signatures from Sentinel-2, then cross-validate with VIIRS night-time lights to confirm human habitation. Shelter cluster area is converted to population estimate using a density proxy (mean 4.5 people per shelter, 25m2 per shelter). Output is a monthly settlement polygon GeoJSON with population estimate and growth rate per cluster.
