Building a Crowd-sourcing Tool for the Validation of Urban Extent and Gridded Population Steffen Fritz, Linda See, Ian McCallum, Christian Schill, ChristophPerger and Michael Obersteiner International Institute of Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) Austria
Importance of global land cover Global land cover is baseline information for a wide variety of application: To delineate ecosystems  Inputs to global models of land use and land use change, e.g. Globiom Climate change mitigation policies e.g. REDD Biofuel debate: where is the additional land?  Food security
Problems with global land cover When different products are compared, there are lots of disagreement between them One might say cropland, another forest Confusing if you are a user – which one is correct? Which is the best product to use? Study by Quaife et al – on veg modelling Disagreement overall and/or spatially
Disagreement in Crop/Forest Domains
Spatial disagreement
Urban areas Rapid urbanisation – led to many problems > 50% of the world’s pop live in cities By 2050, set to increase to 80%  Accurate figures needed to estimate resource use, e.g. future carbon emissions, domestic water consumption, infrastructure, housing, etc. Difficult to classify
Estimates from different products
Disagreement in the urban domain
Urban disagreement between GLC-2000 and MODIS
geo-wiki.org Crowd-sourcing application to improve land cover
Architecture
urban.geo-wiki.org
Disagreement layers
Validation of urban land cover
Validation of urban land cover
GRUMP population layer
Future Developments for urban.geo-wiki.org Building a hybrid map of urban areas – already carried out for the cropland domain Addition of other datasets E.g. Night time luminosity, Open Street Map Ability to validate the population data Addition of a gaming element Change studies through integration of Landsat imagery 30 m land cover map being developed
Validation Competition We will be running a competition this summer Email me (see@iiasa.ac.at) or see me afterwards and I will put you on the mailing list Register for urban.geo-wiki.org Validate at least 100 points to qualify Highest number of validations will be awarded a prize
Thank you! For further information, please contact us: Steffen Fritz (fritz@iiasa.ac.at) Linda See (see@iiasa.ac.at)
