[Objective] This paper aims to address data integrity issues facing the OpenStreetMap (OSM) datasets. [Methods] First, we retrieved the remote censor images of night-lighting brightness as an indicator for cities with strong comprehensive competitiveness. Then, we studied the correlation between night-lighting brightness and OSM completeness, which identified the distribution patterns of high quality data. [Results] We established a regression model for OSM building density and night-lighting brightness. The correlation coefficient was 0.8522. We also found that 84.2% of Chinese cities in our study had building densities closed to the predicted values (the discrepancy was less than 0.5%). The building densities in the other cities were 2% to 7% lower than the expected values. [Limitations] More research is needed to evaluate the performance of this model with other cities. [Conclusions] The remote sensing images help us assess quality of OSM data, which also identifies the “ghost or empty cities”.
