Quality Evaluation of Remote Sensing Mapping for Land Cover Based on Cartographic Specifications

Abstract:

With remote sensing mapping for land cover of China at scale of 1 to 250,000 as an example, we analyzed main quality problems related to cartographic specifications. In order to improve efficiency of checking the problems and to make checking and evaluating results more objective, we designed and developed a set of quality check and evaluation system based on cartographic specification in loose coupling mode with open source software tools. The actual evaluation results from the system demonstrated that the land cover data generally met requirements of cartographic specifications.
