Change detection – Detección de cambios en polígonos

THE PROCEDURE: Centroids of buildings; Spatial join showing presence-absence, considering a 10m accuracy threshold, meaning if the centroid has not moved more than 10m, its the same building. If the centroid in 2012 is not in 2014, its considered as demolished. If a new centroid appears its considered new building.

Tipologías usuarios Madrid Río. Estadísticas y tendencias interesantes

Para la multitud de personas a las que como a mí, les ha sorprendido esta infrastructura en frente de sus casas hay posibilidad de encontrarse en el mismo metro cuadrado a alguien corriendo, alguien andando, una pareja con un carrito de niños, unos amigos en patines, alguna persona en bici… unos más rápido y unos más lento, todos hemos de convivir en un trazado de unos 7,5km de largo y no más unos metros de ancho, con lo que unas mínimas normas de circulación se imponen.

La geografía española (con minúsculas)

Aquí la ‘convesación’ via twitter con el presentador de TVE Jacob Petrus.

Lo que me indignó fue que Jacob Petrus es Geógrafo además de presentador generalistaContinue reading “La geografía española (con minúsculas)”

‘Reality Checks’, also called ‘Ground Truth Tests’

Comparing all kind of Geodata (i.e 3D Buildings, DTM, DHM, DSM, Land Use, vectors,…) to background sources as Google Earth/ Bing, available sources from the country we are working on or WMS available sources, etc. Figuring out if the data requested and we want to deliver is consistent enough compared to the so called “Truth”.
