Advantages and disadvantages of digital vs. analog imagery will be discussed. The characteristics common to all imagery will be presented, defined, and examples provided. The final selection of the best imagery is always determined by balancing these characteristics with cost. The webinar will conclude with a discussion of these tradeoffs and costs of imagery.Click here to register for FREE and reserve your seat: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/582878630 Webinar: Assessing the Accuracy of Remotely Sensed DataThursday, December 04, 2014: 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm Do you know how much to trust an imagery-based map layer? Have you conducted a thorough accuracy assessment of a map you produced with remote sensing? Accuracy assessment has become an essential component of any mapping project and it must be clearly and effectively planned from the beginning of a project in order to be as cost-efficient as possible. This webinar will present an overview of the issues and considerations necessary to assess the accuracy of a map generated using remotely sensed data. While it is not possible to provide all details related to accuracy assessment during this webinar, this overview will provide an excellent starting point from which the attendee can find additional resources.Click here to register for FREE and reserve your seat: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/147084374 Leslie Pelch, GISP Outreach Coordinator VT Center for Geographic Information 58 S.
