Towards the use of Citizen Sensor Information as an Ancillary Tool for the Thematic Classification of Ecological Phenomena

چکیده
The combination of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) with remote sensing classification techniques is addressed rarely, yet has masses of potential in the domain of improving data collection and annotation for environmental monitoring. This position paper delineates the benefits of using VGI within ecological research and identifies key research challenges in gathering ecologically robust data from citizens. The importance of VGI design and sampling typologies in understanding the patterns of and mechanisms of improving data quality are emphasised. Finally, future work in addressing the quality of crowd ground truth information for map generation in a remote sensing context is outlined with the hope that the traits of VGI can be aligned to meet the authoritative rigor required for it to be of use within ecological research applications.
