Tracking via Volunteered Geographic Information

2020
Over the past 20 years, the use of location-based tracking has become increasingly popular. The introduction of GPS technology into devices such as phones and watches, and its incorporation into tracking apps, has led to widespread use of apps which track activities, particularly those of a sporting nature. There are now over 318,000 health and fitness

Photo Based Volunteered Geographic Information Initiatives

International Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Information Systems, 2014
Volunteered Geographic Information has become exponentially available over the Web in the last years. This availability can hide a vast geographical richness and provides us with both a great opportunity to explore new ways to use it and also big challenges related with its unstructured nature. This paper conducts a preliminary analysis of the adequacy
