Spatial Data Quality

Land Parcel Identification Systems (LPIS) and control activities (both with Remote Sensing and on the spot) play an important role in the regulations in the European Common Agricultural Policy. It’s impact goes beyond agriculture, as it will include rural development aspects and the control on environmental measures through the cross compliance. Assessing the quality of the reference systems has become of major concern. New methods are required to deal with the increased complexity surrounding the reference systems and to assure the quality required by the regulations.
