Assessing the accuracy of land cover change with imperfect ground reference data (2010)
Journal Article
Foody, G. M. (2010). Assessing the accuracy of land cover change with imperfect ground reference data. Remote Sensing of Environment, 114(10), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2010.05.003

The ground data used as a reference in the validation of land cover change products are often not an ideal gold standard but degraded by error. The effects of ground reference data error on the accuracy of land cover change detection and the accuracy...
