Hi guys, Surfing the internet is great when you need to figure out something. I needed to validate some DTM from unknown sources against an also unknown source (but at least a kind of reliable one, Google Earth). All we need is Google Earth TCX converter ARcGIS Excel This is the procedure i have followed:Continue reading “DTM validation using Google Earth (and RMSE extraction)”

‘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”.

RSME comparing LIDAR data with a third party’s 3D dataset
I would like to share with you an easy analysis i have been working in the last days.

Cool data. What is this?
What is this ‘cool data‘ all about?. When i got my degree in Geography (about 15 years ago) it didn’t make sense at all being interested in something like graphic design, photography, video and all this stuff… but not only interested in my leisure time but also for taking advantage of it, getting a lifeContinue reading “Cool data.
