Applying the 2023 ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards and Guidelines to Imagery and Elevation Data

      Instructor: Dr. Qassim Abdullah

  • Vice-President and Chief Scientist, Woolpert
  • Chair, ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards Working Group

The ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standard for Geospatial Data is widely used throughout the geospatial industry as the benchmark for positional accuracy and data quality reporting. In 2023, ASPRS is releasing the 2nd Edition of the Standard with significant changes to address evolving technologies. Significant changes in the 2023 release include:

  1. Elimination of references to the 95% confidence level as an accuracy measure.
  2. Relaxation of the accuracy requirement for ground control and checkpoints.
  3. Consideration of survey checkpoint accuracy when computing final product accuracy.
  4. Removal of the pass/fail requirement for Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (VVA) for lidar data.
  5. Increase of the minimum number of checkpoints required for product accuracy assessment from twenty (20) to thirty (30).
  6. Introduction of a new term, “three-dimensional positional accuracy.”

In addition, Guidelines and Best Practice Addendums are being added for:

  1. Reporting of Positional Accuracy and Data Quality
  2. Field Surveying of Ground Control and Checkpoints
  3. Mapping with Photogrammetry
  4. Mapping with Lidar
  5. Mapping with UAS

More GIS users are now able to produce high-accuracy mapping products from their own imagery and lidar data. More GIS users are employing 2D and 3D remotely sensed data in applications for location-based services, analysis, and decision-making. Understanding data quality and accuracy is a key to success!

Esri is developing a free, web-based Accuracy Assessment Tool that can be used by data providers and data recipients alike to perform quality assurance and reporting in compliance with 2023 ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standard. Workshop attendees will be introduced to the Esri tool with a variety of high-resolution UAS, airborne, and satellite imagery and lidar datasets.

Attendee Requirements: laptop computer with wireless internet capability.

Sunday, July 9  8:00 AM – 12:00 PM PDT
