Global and Local Assessment of Image Classification Quality on an Overall and Per-Class Basis without Ground Reference Data (2022)
Journal Article
Foody, G. M. (2022). Global and Local Assessment of Image Classification Quality on an Overall and Per-Class Basis without Ground Reference Data. Remote Sensing, 14(21), Article 5380. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14215380

Ground reference data are typically required to evaluate the quality of a supervised image classification analysis used to produce a thematic map from remotely sensed data. Acquiring a suitable ground data set for a rigorous assessment of classificat...

The spectral species concept in living color (2022)
Journal Article
Rocchini, D., Santos, M. J., Ustin, S. L., Féret, J. B., Asner, G. P., Beierkuhnlein, C., …Lenoir, J. (2022). The spectral species concept in living color. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 127(9), Article e2022JG007026. https://doi.org/10.1029/2022JG007026

Biodiversity monitoring is an almost inconceivable challenge at the scale of the entire Earth. The current (and soon to be flown) generation of spaceborne and airborne optical sensors (i.e., imaging spectrometers) can collect detailed information at...
