Impacts of species misidentification on species distribution modeling with presence-only data (2015)
Journal Article

Spatial records of species are commonly misidentified, which can change the predicted distribution of a species obtained from a species distribution model (SDM). Experiments were undertaken to predict the distribution of real and simulated species us...

Accurate attribute mapping from volunteered geographic information: issues of volunteer quantity and quality (2015)
Journal Article

Crowdsourcing is a popular means of acquiring data, but the use of such data is limited by concerns with its quality. This is evident within cartography and geographical sciences more generally, with the quality of volunteered geographic information...

An assessment of citizen contributed ground reference data for land cover map accuracy assessment (2015)
Journal Article

It is now widely accepted that an accuracy assessment should be part of a thematic mapping programme. Authoritative good or best practices for accuracy assessment have been defined but are often impractical to implement. Key reasons for this situatio...

Integrating user needs on misclassification error sensitivity into image segmentation quality assessment (2015)
Journal Article

Enhancing the spatial resolution of satellite-derived land surface temperature mapping for urban areas (2015)
Journal Article

Land surface temperature (LST) is an important environmental variable for urban studies such as those focused on the urban heat island (UHI). Though satellite-derived LST could be a useful complement to traditional LST data sources, the spatial resol...

Usability of VGI for validation of land cover maps (2015)
Journal Article

Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) represents a growing source of potentially valuable data for many applications, including land cover map validation. It is still an emerging field and many different approaches can be used to take value from V... Read More about Usability of VGI for validation of land cover maps.

Valuing map validation: the need for rigorous land cover map accuracy assessment in economic valuations of ecosystem services (2015)
Journal Article

Valuations of ecosystem services often use data on land cover class areal extent. Area estimates from land cover maps may be biased by misclassification error resulting in flawed assessments and inaccurate valuations. Adjustment for misclassification...
