"Remote Sensing and GIS Accuracy Assessment" ed. by Ross S. Lunetta, John G. Lyon

This issue evaluates the important scientific elements related to the performance of accuracy assessments for remotely sensed data, GIS data analysis, and integration products. Scientists from federal, state, and local governments, academia, and nongovernmental organizations present twenty technical chapters that examine sampling issues, reference data collection, edge and boundary effects, error matrix and fuzzy assessments, error budget analysis, and change detection accuracy assessment.

The book provides a historical accuracy assessment overvie. All chapters underwent a peer review and were determined to be valuable to the remote sensing and GIS community.
