It may be an important issue to estimate population of a concerned country. In this study, an appropriate variable was selected to establish a model which fits best the relationship between the night time imagery of DMSP-OLS and population data. Exponential model was selected which was proposed by previous study. Accuracy validation was also performed for each variable extracted from the night time imagery of DMSP-OLS. Consequently, the model showed high accuracy when applied to the area of a certain amount of light was existed. However, further consideration should be necessary when to applied other country or other part of regions.
