OSMDeepOD - Object Detection on Orthophotos with and for VGI [PDF]
A great deal of the interesting information captured by aerial imagery is as yet unused, even though it could help to enrich maps and improve navigation. For this information to be made available, objects such as buildings or roads need to be recognized on images. This is laborious to do entirely manually, but non-trivial to perform computationally.

ASSESSING VOLUNTEERED GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION (VGI) QUALITY BASED ON CONTRIBUTORS' MAPPING BEHAVIOURS [PDF]
VGI changed the mapping landscape by allowing people that are not professional cartographers to contribute to large mapping projects, resulting at the same time in concerns about the quality of the data produced.

Keys to successful scientific VGI projects [PDF]
Scientific projects are increasingly using volunteered geographic information (VGI) in order to collect and validate geographic data. This concept relies on the three challenges that first of all users can be found and second be convinced to collaborate and contribute and that scientists finally are able to gather high quality data for their projects ...

Assessing the Validity of OpenStreetMap for Food Environment Research
ABSTRACT This study assessed agreement between food environment measures derived from OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, a commercial dataset, and an administrative dataset (the Canadian Food Environment Dataset, Can‐FED) to better understand the suitability of OSM food‐related data for food environment research.
