Anne B. NilsenAbstract
NIBIO produces Green Structure Maps (GSM) for Norway that cover built-up areas, including cabin areas. GSM is a hybrid product based on information from remote sensing data and detailed national vector datasets such as roads, water, buildings, and land use. GSM contains 8 classes: Ground, Shrub, Tree, Grey, Road, Water, Building, and Agriculture. QGIS is excellently suited for visual control of GSM. Based on the size of the dataset (number of polygons), a significant random sample of each class is selected to check whether it is correctly classified. You can organize the map layers into different themes, set up QGIS with multiple map windows showing different themes and zoom levels, and use existing plugins to jump from polygon to polygon and compare with aerial images and code whether the classification is correct or not - quickly and efficiently. More comprehensive statistics can then be calculated, and the results can be compared against the requirements to determine if the GSM meets the standards.
