Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Treating the map as a binary or single class scheme, impervious/pervious, allows for a simpler sampling technique than a traditional thematic land cover assessment. For this product, Sanborn developed an efficient procedure to assess accuracy of the impervious classification. The desired accuracy is at least 85% for the impervious/pervious map of Niihau. The approach described here tested the map for an accuracy of 90% for a MMU of 0.06 acre. Since Sanborn was working with a two-case situation they only needed to know whether the classification was right or wrong, a binomial distribution was used to calculate the sample size. Using that assumption, Sanborn used Ginevan (1979) who illustrated a sampling method using stratified random points that satisfies three criteria: 1. The scheme should have a low probability of accepting a map of low accuracy. 2. It should have a high probability of accepting a map of high accuracy. 3. It should require a minimum number of ground truth samples. Using the look-up table given in the paper that presents the required sample size for a given minimum error and a desired level of confidence, Sanborn determined the specific number of points that are required to meet the accuracy specification. To validate a map to determine if it meets a thematic accuracy of 90%, with a 95% confidence level (a 95% confidence interval means the chance of 1 in 20 of rejecting a map that is actually correct), the minimum number of sites required was 298; with the map being rejected if more than 21 are misclassified. In order to compensate for the rarity of impervious surfaces over a large portion of the Niihau landscape, the approach was to create 3 strata layers in order to limit the selection process to areas of likely impervious, and produce a map that accurately assesses the usefulness of the map to the user. Strata 1: Impervious Features This strata layer is based on the actual classification of impervious features. Strata 2: Distance buffer from impervious map The presence of impervious surfaces are correlated with other impervious features, and are likely to occur near other impervious features. A distance map based on a buffer of 250 m will be used to sample from. Strata 3: Remaining un-sampled area. Each of the strata was sampled to build an assessment database that exceeds the required minimum of 298 assessment points. The goal for the division of accuracy assessment points was an approximate 50:50 (impervious:pervious) stratification. The break down is as follows. Table 1: Sampling breakdown based on strata layer. Strata Layer, Percentage of Total Samples, Target Number of Samples; Impervious Classification 30 greater than 149; Distance From Impervious feature Mask 25 greater than 75; Remaining Un-sampled Area 25 greater than 74; Areas of impervious or where impervious surfaces are expected were biased in the sampling structure. Once the samples are collected, labeling and quality control procedures were completed on the samples to create a final accuracy database. The result was a simplified confusion matrix where only two classes are categorized. An overall accuracy statement can be made by summing the correct accuracy locations and deriving a percentage relative to the total number of accuracy points.

Process_Description:

This dataset was created by the Sanborn Mapping Company. The impervious surface classification is based on high resolution multispectral imagery. The study area for the project was the island of Niihau, U.S. Hawaiian Island Chain. Automated Classification: The first step in the classification methodology involved incorporating automated techniques. Sanborn analysts utilized the Feature Analyst software extension to extract impervious surfaces from the igh resolution multispectral imagery. This was performed by providing the software with photo-interpreted polygon examples which "train" the software's learning mechanism to recognize impervious surface features for extraction from the imagery. The software then provides the user with an automated output which can be accepted by the analyst or retrained for an improved result. This automated output captures a large percentage of the existing impervious surface features within the imagery but does not meet the required accuracy. Classes: 0 - Pervious; 1 - Impervious
