Mapping Spatial Thematic Accuracy Using Indicator Kriging, Maria I. Martinez
Mapping Spatial Thematic Accuracy Using Indicator Kriging, Maria I. Martinez
Masters Theses
Thematic maps derived from remote sensing imagery is increasingly being used in environmental and ecological modeling. Spatial information in these maps however is not free of error. Different methodologies such as error matrices are used to assess the accuracy of the spatial information. However, most of the methods commonly used for describing the accuracy assessment of thematic data fail to describe spatial differences of the accuracy across an area of interest. This thesis describes the use of indicator kriging as a geostatistical method for mapping the spatial accuracy of thematic maps. The method is illustrated by constructing accuracy maps for …
