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).

Location-aware neural graph collaborative filtering / Shengwen Li in International journal of geographical information science IJGIS, vol 36 n° 8 (August 2022)  

Public [article]  inInternational journal of geographical information science IJGIS > vol 36 n° 8 (August 2022) . - pp 1550 - 1574 Titre : Location-aware neural graph collaborative filtering Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Shengwen Li, Auteur ; Chenpeng Sun, Auteur ; Renyao Chen, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 1550 - 1574 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géomatique web [Termes IGN] comportement [Termes IGN] données localisées des bénévoles [Termes IGN] filtrage d'information [Termes IGN] jeu de données [Termes IGN] noeud [Termes IGN] point d'intérêt [Termes IGN] réseau neuronal de graphes Résumé : (auteur) Collaborative filtering (CF) is initiated by representing users and items as vectors and seeks to describe the relationship between users and items at a profound level, thus predicting users’ preferred behavior. To address the issue that previous research ignored higher-order geographical interactions hidden in users’ historical behaviors, this paper proposes a location-aware neural graph collaborative filtering model (LA-NGCF), which incorporates location information of items for improving prediction performance. The model characterizes the interactions between items based on spatial decay law from a graph perspective and designs two strategies to capture the interaction effects of users and items considering node heterogeneity. An optimized loss function with spatial distances of items is also developed in the model. Extensive experiments are conducted on three publicly available real-world datasets to examine the effectiveness of our model. Results show that LA-NGCF achieves competitive performances compared with several state-of-the-art models, which suggests that location information of items is beneficial for improving the performance of personalized recommendations. This paper offers an approach to incorporate weighted interactions between items into CF algorithms and enriches the methods of utilizing geographical information for artificial intelligence applications.

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.

A series of studies has shown that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) accurately predict plant species and communities in high-resolution remote sensing data, in particular with data at the centimeter scale acquired with Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAV). However, such tasks often require ample training data, which is commonly generated in the field via geocoded in-situ observations or labeling remote sensing data through visual interpretation. Both approaches are laborious and can present a critical bottleneck for CNN applications. An alternative source of training data is given by using knowledge on the appearance of plants in the form of plant photographs from citizen science projects such as the iNaturalist database. Such crowd-sourced plant photographs typically exhibit very different perspectives and great heterogeneity in various aspects, yet the sheer volume of data could reveal great potential for application to bird’s eye views from remote sensing platforms. Here, we explore the potential of transfer learning from such a crowd-sourced data treasure to the remote sensing context. Therefore, we investigate firstly, if we can use crowd-sourced plant photographs for CNN training and subsequent mapping of plant species in high-resolution remote sensing imagery. Secondly, we test if the predictive performance can be increased by a priori selecting photographs that share a more similar perspective to the remote sensing data. We used two case studies to test our proposed approach with multiple RGB orthoimages acquired from UAV with the target plant species Fallopia japonica and Portulacaria afra respectively. Our results demonstrate that CNN models trained with heterogeneous, crowd-sourced plant photographs can indeed predict the target species in UAV orthoimages with surprising accuracy. Filtering the crowd-sourced photographs used for training by acquisition properties increased the predictive performance. This study demonstrates that citizen science data can effectively anticipate a common bottleneck for vegetation assessments and provides an example on how we can effectively harness the ever-increasing availability of crowd-sourced and big data for remote sensing applications.

Integration of GNSS observations with volunteered geographic information for improved navigation performance / Tarek Hassan in Journal of applied geodesy, vol 16 n° 3 (July 2022)  

Public [article]  inJournal of applied geodesy > vol 16 n° 3 (July 2022) . - pp 265 - 277 Titre : Integration of GNSS observations with volunteered geographic information for improved navigation performance Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Tarek Hassan, Auteur ; Tamer Fath-Allah, Auteur ; Mohamed Elhabiby, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 265 - 277 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] données GNSS [Termes IGN] données localisées des bénévoles [Termes IGN] Google Earth [Termes IGN] hauteur du bâti [Termes IGN] modélisation 3D [Termes IGN] OpenStreetMap [Termes IGN] positionnement par GNSS [Termes IGN] signal GNSS [Vedettes matières IGN] Traitement de données GNSS Résumé : (auteur) Pedestrian and vehicular navigation relies mainly on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Even if different navigation systems are integrated, GNSS positioning remains the core of any navigation process as it is the only system capable of providing independent solutions. However, in harsh environments, especially urban ones, GNSS signals are confronted by many obstructions causing the satellite signals to reach the receivers through reflected paths. These No-Line of Sight (NLOS) signals can affect the positioning accuracy significantly. This contribution proposes a new algorithm to detect and exclude these NLOS signals using 3D building models constructed from Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI). OpenStreetMap (OSM) and Google Earth (GE) data are combined to build the 3D models incorporated with GNSS signals in the algorithm. Real field data are used for testing and validation of the presented algorithm and strategy. The accuracy improvement, after exclusion of the NLOS signals, is evaluated employing phase-smoothed code observations. The results show that applying the proposed algorithm can improve the horizontal positioning accuracy remarkably. This improvement reaches 10.72 m, and the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) drops by 1.64 m (46 % improvement) throughout the epochs with detected NLOS satellites. In addition, the improvement is analyzed in the Along-Track (AT) and Cross-Track (CT) directions. It reaches 6.89 m in the AT direction with a drop of 1.076 m in the RMSE value, while it reaches 8.64 m with a drop of 1.239 m in the RMSE value in the CT direction.
