✦ Synopsis

Explains principles and practical considerations of designing and conducting accuracy assessment, walking through steps of sample design, collecting data, building and testing the error matrix, and analyzing the results. An overview chapter discusses the history and basic concepts of accuracy assessment, a chapter on advanced topics discusses fuzzy logic and the assessment of multilayered and multitemporal map layers, and a final chapter presents a case study. For anyone who works with remotely sensed data to produce maps.

Congalton does a great job presenting remote sensing accuracy assessment concepts. In addition to the theory, he provides practical examples to help in applying the theory to real world situations. The book seems way over-priced for its size.

The role of an editor in an anthology such as this one is to ensure that chapters follow each other in a logical sequence, don't overlap and, in the end, provide information much like a text book would. This book does none of that. It reads more like a scientific journal composed of random papers.
