  1. Steffen Fritz International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis

  2. Expert Meeting: Crowdsource Mapping for Preparedness and Emergency Reponse Ignite Session I: “The use of crowdsourcing for land cover and drought mapping ”

  3. Ignite Session 1: “MAPPING”

  4. http://Geo-Wiki.org • Geo-wiki makes GEO data easy to visualize and analyze. • Volunteers from around the globe can classify Google Earth imagery, input their agreement/ disagreement with the existing data

  5. www.geo-wiki.org

  6. Collected more than 100 000 Validation points

  7. `

  8. Land Acquisition Area + Clear Evidence of Settlements (from Geo-Wiki Hackathon) = Areas of Conflict

  9. Better land cover maps Better estimates of biomass Better cropland maps Better wilderness maps + Better model inputs and more….

  10. Geo-Wiki mobile – new technologies...

  11. APP: Menue

  12. APP: Soil Moisture

  13. Take a Picture

  14. ISPRS Special Issue on: Collaborative Mapping - Thematic and geometric accuracy of collaborative mapping (i.e. quality of the information) - Development of indicators of robustness of / confidence in the VGI - Authoritativeness of collaborative map products, i.e. ideas on how to bring collaborative map products to a -- level of authority that is not disputed - Data harmonization - Collaborative mapping and the role of mapping institutions - Spatial cognition in collaborative mapping - Cost effectiveness and cost benefits of collaborative mapping - The use of collaborative mapping in the areas of biodiversity, land use science, climate change, emergency response, and other relevant applied fields Guest Editors Dr. Linda See Dr. Steffen Fritz Dr. Jan de Leeuw http://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijgi/special_issues/collaborative-mapping

  15. Participation in a COST Action • TD1202: Mapping and the Citizen Sensor • Started 28/11/2012 – 4 year action • We are co-leading Working Group 1 on Acquiring and Managing VGI • Three other WGs that may be of interest: • WG2: Understanding and influencing contributors • WG3: Map production • WG4: Map validation activities • Email us if you want to participate (fritz@iiasa.ac.at) or find out more here: http://www.cost.eu/domains_actions/ict/Actions/TD1202
