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...

Double down on remote sensing for biodiversity estimation: a biological mindset (2022)
Journal Article
Rocchini, D., Torresani, M., Beierkuhnlein, C., Feoli, E., Foody, G. M., Lenoir, J., …Ricotta, C. (2022). Double down on remote sensing for biodiversity estimation: a biological mindset. Community Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s42974-022-00113-7

In the light of unprecedented planetary changes in biodiversity, real-time and accurate ecosystem and biodiversity assessments are becoming increasingly essential for informing policy and sustainable development. Biodiversity monitoring is a challeng... Read More about Double down on remote sensing for biodiversity estimation: a biological mindset.

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...

Assuring the quality of VGI on land use and land cover: experiences and learnings from the LandSense project (2022)
Journal Article
Foody, G., Long, G., Schultz, M., & Olteanu-Raimond, A. (2022). Assuring the quality of VGI on land use and land cover: experiences and learnings from the LandSense project. Geo-Spatial Information Scienc, https://doi.org/10.1080/10095020.2022.2100285

The potential of citizens as a source of geographical information has been recognized for many years. Such activity has grown recently due to the proliferation of inexpensive location aware devices and an ability to share data over the internet. Rece...

Citizen science for Earth Observation (Citzens4EO): understanding current use in the UK (2022)
Journal Article
Boyd, D. S., Foody, G. M., Brown, C., Mazumdar, S., Marshall, H., & Wardlaw, J. (2022). Citizen science for Earth Observation (Citzens4EO): understanding current use in the UK. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 43(8), 2965-2985. https://doi.org/10.1080/01431161.2022.2076574

The role of Earth observation (EO) data in addressing societal problems from environmental through to humanitarian should not be understated. Recent innovation in EO means provision of analysis ready data and data cubes, which allows for rapid use of...

Making (remote) sense of lianas (2022)
Journal Article
van der Heijden, G. M., Proctor, A. D., Calders, K., Chandler, C., Field, R., Foody, G. M., …Boyd, D. S. (2022). Making (remote) sense of lianas. Journal of Ecology, 110(3), 498-513. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.13844

Lianas (woody vines) are abundant and diverse, particularly in tropical ecosystems. Lianas use trees for structural support to reach the forest canopy, often putting leaves above their host tree. Thus they are major parts of many forest canopies. Yet... Read More about Making (remote) sense of lianas.
