"There’s a powerful way to fight dengue. Infect a mosquito with Wolbachia, release it in highly populated regions, and wait for it to infect all mosquitoes in the region.
But this process is expensive, and we need to release it in the most densely populated regions in a city.
And no one really knows what population density is at a 100m x 100m level.
Can we use satellite imagery and use this to identify building density?
