Such activity has grown recently due to the proliferation of inexpensive location aware devices and an ability to share data over the internet. Recently, a series of major projects, often cast as citizen observatories, have helped explore and develop this potential for a wide range of applications. Here, some of the experiences and learnings gained from part of one such project, which aimed to further the role of citizen science within Earth observation and help address environmental challenges, LandSense, are shared. The key focus is on quality assurance of citizen generated data on land use and land cover especially to support analyses of remotely sensed data and products. Particular focus is directed to quality assurance checks on photographic image quality, privacy, polygon overlap, positional accuracy and offset, contributor agreement, and categorical accuracy. The discussion aims to provide good practice advice to aid future studies and help fulfil the full potential of citizens as a source of volunteered geographical information (VGI).

Quality assessment of volunteered geographic information for outdoor activities: an analysis of OpenStreetMap data for names of peaks in Japan / Jun Yamashita in Geo-spatial Information Science, vol 26 n° inconnu ([01/08/2023])

Volunteered geographic information (VGI) is a key tool for organizing outdoor activities as it offers a means to determine the locational information and names of places. To evaluate the quality of VGI, geospatial data generated by land survey agencies and other VGI are often utilized as reference data. However, since these reference data may not be available, other methods are necessary to assure the quality of VGI. In this study, we examined five trust indicators based on the inherent characteristics of VGI through an empirical case study. We used mountain names extracted from OpenStreetMap in Japan as data because there were almost no other VGI in the vicinity. As a result, we isolated three trust indicators, namely versions, users, and tag corrections, to examine the thematic accuracy of VGI because these were the only statistically significant indicators. However, we found that the prediction rate of thematic accuracy was very low. To improve thematic accuracy, this study recommends using the most accurate versions, applying correctly given tags, and considering the motivations and characteristics of the VGI contributors.

Resilience of Pyrenean forests after recurrent historical deforestations / Valenti Rull in Forests, vol 14 n° 3 (March 2023)

In this paper, a high-resolution (decadal to subdecadal) paleoecological study of mid-elevation Pyrenean forests is presented that encompasses the last two millennia. This long-term record was obtained after sediment coring, dating (varve counting) and pollen analysis of annually laminated (varved) sediments from Lake Montcortès, situated at 1027 m elevation, in the transition between the Mediterranean and montane forest belts. This allowed the definition of three major deforestation/recovery cycles during the Roman, Medieval and Modern times. Each DR cycle is characterized considering three different levels: overall forest trends, forest type and individual taxa. Overall, the studied forests exhibited high resilience, as they recovered almost completely after each deforestation event (bulk resilience). The critical point of no return (tipping point) beyond which forests would have irreversibly disappeared from the region was never reached, even after deforestation magnitudes above 60%. The different forest types identified (conifer, sclerophyll and deciduous) persisted over time, showing similar heterogeneous patterns with minor spatial reorganizations (mosaic resilience). Individually, the main forest taxa underwent minor variations in their relative abundances, always within the same attraction domains (community resilience). The high levels of resilience documented in these Pyrenean forests are attributed to the action of metapopulation and metacommunity processes and mechanisms in a highly dynamic patchy environment. Conservation actions should be focused on the maintenance of these spatial patterns and the associated ecological dynamics.

Gridded digital elevation models (DEMs) interpolated from laser scanning point clouds are widely used due to their convenience, however, DEM uncertainty is rarely provided. This paper proposes an end-to-end workflow to quantify the uncertainty (i.e., standard deviation) of a gridded lidar-derived DEM. A benefit of the proposed approach is that it does not require independent validation data measured by alternative means. The input point cloud requires per point uncertainty which is derived from lidar system observational uncertainty. The propagated uncertainty caused by interpolation is then derived by the general law of propagation of variances (GLOPOV) with simultaneous consideration of both horizontal and vertical point cloud uncertainties. Finally, the interpolated uncertainty is then scaled by point density and a measure of terrain roughness to arrive at the final gridded DEM uncertainty. The proposed approach is tested with two lidar datasets measured in Waikoloa, Hawaii, and Sitka, Alaska. Triangulated irregular network (TIN) interpolation is chosen as the representative gridding approach. The results indicate estimated terrain roughness/point density scale factors ranging between 1 (in flat areas) and 7.6 (in high roughness areas), with a mean value of 2.3 for the Waikoloa dataset and between 1 and 9.2 with a mean value of 1.2 for the Sitka dataset. As a result, the final gridded DEM uncertainties are estimated between 0.059 m and 0.677 m with a mean value of 0.164 m for the Waikoloa dataset and between 0.059 m and 1.723 m with a mean value of 0.097 m for the Sitka dataset.

Precise orbit determination for BDS-3 GEO satellites enhanced by intersatellite links / Xiaojie Li in GPS solutions, vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023)  

Public [article]  inGPS solutions > vol 27 n° 1 (January 2023) . - n° 8 Titre : Precise orbit determination for BDS-3 GEO satellites enhanced by intersatellite links Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Xiaojie Li, Auteur ; Xiaogong Hu, Auteur ; Rui Guo, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2023 Article en page(s) : n° 8 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Techniques orbitales [Termes IGN] constellation BeiDou [Termes IGN] décalage d'horloge [Termes IGN] orbite géostationnaire [Termes IGN] orbite précise [Termes IGN] orbitographie [Termes IGN] qualité des données Résumé : (auteur) Geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites are an integral part of the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS). Precise orbit determination (POD) for GEO satellites is difficult due to their geostationary characteristics. The orbit determination accuracy that can be achieved based on regional tracking stations in China cannot satisfy high-precision service requirements. The third generation of BDS (BDS-3) is the first global navigation satellite system that synergistically uses regional monitoring stations and global intersatellite links (ISLs) to realize global service. In this study, the quality of ISL data is analyzed based on the residuals of the intersatellite clock offset and the observed-minus-computed residuals of the ISL data. The orbit determination accuracy is assessed based on the observation residuals, the multiday consistency of the ISL time delays, overlapping orbit comparison, the user equivalent range error (UERE), and the accuracy of the clock offset. The results show that the ISL measurement noise for the GEO satellites is 3 cm, and the multiday consistency accuracy of the ISL time delay is better than 0.07 ns. Compared to the satellite-to-ground link (SGL)-based orbit determination method, the root mean square (RMS) three-dimensional (3D) position error of the overlapping orbit differences (OODs) is improved from 1.11 to 0.22 m with the combined SGL- and ISL-based method. Simultaneously, the UERE improves from 0.57 to 0.19 m, and the accuracy of the satellite clock offset improves from 1.09 to 0.61 ns.
