The accurate extraction of urban built-up areas is an important prerequisite for urban planning and construction. As a kind of data that can represent urban spatial form, night-time light data has been widely used in the extraction of urban built-up areas. As one of the geographic open-source big data, point of interest (POI) data has a high spatial coupling with night-time light data, so researchers are beginning to explore the fusion of the two data in order to achieve more accurate extraction of urban built-up areas. However, the current research methods and theoretical applications of the fusion of POI data and night-time light data are still insufficient compared with the dramatically changing urban built-up areas, which needed to be further supplemented and deepened. This study proposes a new method to fuse POI data and night-time light data. The results before and after data fusion are compared, and the accuracy of urban built-up area extracted by different data and methods is analysed. The results show that the data fusion can avoid the shortage of single data and effectively improve the extraction accuracy of urban built-up areas, which is greatly helpful to supplement the study of data fusion in urban built-up areas, and also can provide decision-making guidance for urban planning and construction.
