Abstract

To monitor the global economy in real time, the detection by satellite of the heat emitted by cement plants in operation can be used to construct a production indicator. This indicator, used in a neural network model to predict construction activity, performs very well compared with benchmark models and other indicators. Pour suivre l’économie mondiale en temps réel, la détection satellite de la chaleur émise par les cimenteries en activité permet de construire un indicateur de production. Cet indicateur, utilisé dans un modèle de réseau de neurones pour prédire l'activité dans la construction, affiche d’excellentes performances comparé à des modèles de référence et à d’autres indicateurs.
