Accuracy Assessment Points for Wind Cave National Park Vegetation Mapping Project

Feb 25, 2011 (Last modified May 14, 2011)
Description:
The accuracy assessment field work was performed to verify the accuracy of the vegetation communities spatial data developed by the USGS-NPS Vegetation Mapping Program for Wind Cave National Park. The data points were stratified according to vegetation association over the project area according to protocols developed by the Program. Points were located by GPS navigation and the community information was collected at the point, without knowledge of the attributes of the vegetation spatial data. Accuracy assessment attribute were composed with the map codes and a contigency table was developed.
