Product Description

The difficulties inherent in assessing the accuracy of large-area spatial data sets, their subsequent analysis by GIS, and their importance to landscape characterization make the development of methods for robust accuracy assessment a critical challenge. In December 2002, the U.S. EPA sponsored a symposium focused on evaluating the scienctific elements relevant to performaning of accuracy assessments for remote sensing derived data sets and GIS data analysis and integrated products. The result is this peer-reviewed text from an international group of scientists representing federal, state and local governments, academia, and non-governmental organizations.

Misleading title
The role of an editor in an anthology such as this one is to ensure that chapters follow each other in a logical sequence, don't overlap and, in the end, provide information much like a text book would.

This book does none of that. It reads more like a scientific journal composed of random papers. The only exception are chapters 1,2 and 3 which accurately reflect the title of the book. The other chapters are of varying quality, but do not collectively tell the story of remote sensing and GIS accuracy assessment. They are disjointed and seem to have no relation to each other.
