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.

DTM validation using Google Earth (and RMSE extraction)
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)”
Pearson correlation and GIS
Do these two variables have a correlation?. To answer this important question first of all we have to know that only if it’s a linear relationship and there are no outliers we can take advantage of Mr Pearson’s correlation statiscal tool. If i love chocolate, does this mean i have tendency of being chuby? orContinue reading “Pearson correlation and GIS”
‘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”. SomeContinue reading “‘Reality Checks’, also called ‘Ground Truth Tests’”
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. I had a vector dataset of buildings and i knew how high they were (there was a field called ‘AGL’ or Above Ground Level) and a LIDAR 2m resolution dataset over the city of London. My aimContinue reading “RSME comparing LIDAR data with a third party’s 3D dataset”

As you can see, the higher the values, the most likely to be in the North and the East of the country. This doesn’t meanContinue reading “PISA report SPAIN 2012 by Comunidades Autónomas Trends North-South and West-East”

Projets éoliens en Loire-Atlantique
C’est vraiment magnifique l’ouverture des données publiques… Je vais décrire mon itinéraire pour mieux comprendre: Télécharger des données (Projets éoliens en Loire-Atlantique) Telecharger DTM (SRTM v4) Faire Carte d’ombrage (ArcGIS), Orientations (ArcGIS) et Inclinations (ArcGIS) pour mieux comprendre l’emplacement des moulins Faire Carte de densité (en mesurent la puissance du parc) Et maintenant la carte de densité en Global Mapper…Continue reading “Projets éoliens en Loire-Atlantique”
