Assessment of volunteered geographic information for vegetation mapping

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2020
Vegetation mapping requires extensive field data for training and validation. Volunteered geographic information in the form of geotagged photos of identified plants has the potential to serve as a supplemental data source for vegetation mapping projects.

Integration of GNSS observations with volunteered geographic information for improved navigation performance

Journal of Applied Geodesy, 2022
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

Thinking through people: The potential of volunteered geographic information for mobility and urban studies

Urban studies, 2021
Despite the ‘mobility turn’ in urban studies, there is surprisingly little research into the role people’s everyday movements play in driving urbanisation processes.

A comprehensive quality assessment framework for linear features from Volunteered Geographic Information

International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2020
The majority of spatial data provided as Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) are roads and other linear map features. Such data have been widely used in routing and navigation, road network update, emergency response, urban planning and more. Due to

The credibility of volunteered geographic information

GeoJournal, 2008
The proliferation of information sources as a result of networked computers and other interconnected devices has prompted significant changes in the amount, availability, and nature of geographic information. Among the more significant changes is the increasing amount of readily available volunteered geographic information.

Sample size and spatial configuration of volunteered geographic information affect effectiveness of spatial bias mitigation

Trans. GIS, 2020
Volunteered geographic information (VGI) can provide field samples for predictively mapping geographic phenomena. Yet the biased spatial coverage of VGI observations often undermines the fitness of use of VGI samples for predictive mapping.

Assuring the quality of volunteered geographic information

Spatial Statistics, 2012
Abstract Volunteered geographic information (VGI) is a phenomenon of recent years, offering an alternative mechanism for the acquisition and compilation of geographic information. As such it offers substantial advantages, but suffers from a general lack of quality assurance.
