My thesis topic was based on Mapping and Monitoring Slums using Geoinformation Technologies.

The thesis was aimed at the following:

• To develop a test methodology for mapping and monitoring slums primarily using open data.

• To explore the possibility of mapping slums within cities by using imagery, geophysical datasets, and complementary data.

• To compare the performance of different methodologies to identify slums and determine which algorithm provides the optimal results.

• To contribute towards curbing disease outbreaks.
