CONTEXT
Landscape ecologists often use thematic map data in their research. Greater familiarity with thematic map accuracy assessment protocols will enhance appropriate use and interpretation of map quality data.
OBJECTIVES
Provide an overview of thematic map accuracy assessment protocols and simple, non-quantitative guidelines to assess the quality of the thematic map data that landscape ecologists use in their research.
METHODS
Synthesis and interpretation of salient literature on map accuracy assessment.
CONCLUSIONS
Landscape ecologists can adopt three simple rules to improve their use and interpretation of map data: 1) use the map quality data only if the accuracy assessment protocols adhere to rigorous, well-established standards for the sampling design, response design, and analysis; 2) focus on class-specific accuracy via user's and producer's accuracies (or the complementary measures commission and omission error rates); and 3) use the criterion that an accuracy assessment that reports class-specific accuracies accompanied by standard errors is a strong indicator of a rigorous assessment.
背景
景观生态学家在研究中经常使用专题地图数据。更熟悉专题地图准确性评估方案将有助于更好地使用和解读地图质量数据。
目标
概述专题地图准确性评估方案以及用于评估景观生态学家在研究中所使用专题地图数据质量的简单、非定量指南。
方法
综合并解读有关地图准确性评估的重要文献。
结论
景观生态学家可以采用三条简单规则来改进他们对地图数据的使用和解读：1）仅在准确性评估方案符合抽样设计、响应设计和分析的严格且既定标准时，才使用地图质量数据；2）通过用户精度和生产者精度（或互补指标 commission 和 omission 错误率）关注特定类别的准确性；3）采用这样的标准，即报告特定类别准确性并伴有标准误差的准确性评估是严格评估的有力指标。
