✔ Increasing popularity of OpenStreetMap (OSM) as today's most notable Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) project on the Internet
✔ Increasing concern on VGI (and OSM) data quality:
Motivation of the work – VGI & OSM quality
GEOlab, Politecnico di Milano – Como Campus
➔ spatial accuracy➔ temporal accuracy➔ semantic accuracy➔ up-to-dateness➔ consistency➔ fitness-for-use & fitness-for-purpose➔ ...
✔ Increasing availability of open data from NMAs and CSC that can be used as a source of comparison for VGI (and OSM) data:
➔ comparing two spatial datasets against each other is a challenging geocomputation problem!

✔ Literature provides plenty of works assessing or comparing OSM quality against that of authoritative datasets:
Motivation of the work – OSM comparisons
➔ strongly focused on road network➔ mainly investigating OSM positional accuracy➔ OSM compared to data from NMA (UK Ordnance Survey, French
NMA, USGS TNM/TIGER, etc.) and CSC (Navteq, TeleAtlas, etc.)➔ semi- or fully-automated➔ results from poor to very good
✔ Comparison techniques are very strong and fit for purpose, but mostly application and dataset specific:
➔ hard to replicate➔ difficult to extend to other dataset comparisons

✔ Novel methodology to compare OSM and authoritative road datasets:
Our methodology
➔ fully automated➔ focused on spatial accuracy and completeness➔ flexible, i.e. not developed for a specific dataset
➔ built with FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial)
✗ made of required and optional operations
✗ users can define the value of the parameters involved to adapt the procedure to their specific authoritative datasets
✗ users are supposed to be familiar with the authoritative dataset used as reference
✗ reusable and extensible in case of need

➔ 1. Preliminary comparison of the datasets and computation of global statistics
➔ 2. Geometric preprocessing of the OSM dataset to extract a subset which is fully comparable with the IGN dataset
➔ 3. Evaluation of OSM spatial accuracy using a grid-based approach
✔ Currently developed as 3 GRASS GIS modules:
Our methodology – Overview
➔ written in Python➔ available with a Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Step 3: grid-based evaluation of OSM accuracy

media dev. st. min(abs) max(abs)6 m -0.010 0.114 0.001 0.510
8 m 0.003 0.080 0.001 0.276
10 m 0.013 0.059 0.001 0.208
➔ statistics on the differences between the percentages of OSM length satisfying each given accuracy, for the generalization thresholds of 0 m and 1 m (Area 1)
✔ Sensitivity analysis on the Douglas-Peucker generalization threshold:

➔ generalization (within the nominal accuracy of the dataset) does not influence accuracy evaluation results – and allows to save much time!

✔ Methodology for comparing OSM and authoritative road datasets:
Conclusions
✔ Future work:
➔ understand the influence of parameters through sensitivity analysis➔ reduce computational time (especially for Step 2)➔ increase usability through a WPS implementation (also for Steps 2 & 3)➔ extend the procedure to also compare attributes➔ test on different datasets (any test dataset is welcome)!
➔ (hopefully) fills a gap in literature➔ not tied to a specific reference dataset➔ generic, flexible and adaptable to any reference dataset➔ users have a key role in driving the procedure➔ parameter values should reflect the characteristic of the reference
dataset involved (e.g. nominal scale and accuracy)
