Opis

The field of assessing the accuracy of maps derived from remotely sensed data has continued to develop and mature since the first edition of this book in 1999. The third edition will have all chapters reviewed and updated with any new information available today. It will include a redo of spatial accuracy chapter to update for new ASPRS standards and better explain the issue with RMSE. Another new chapter on AA sampling for objects vs pixels will be included; an object-based case study and more information on proportional sampling. Finally, an entire new chapter on collection of reference data for general use and sharing in the public domain will complete the third edition.
