A local scale-sensitive indicator of spatial autocorrelation for assessing high- and low-value clusters in multi-scale datasets (e.g., social media datasets)
Posted in Crowd Analyser, Publications on Dec 30th, 2014
Georeferenced user-generated datasets like those extracted from Twitter and similar social media feeds are increasingly gaining the interest of spatial analysts. Such datasets oftentimes reflect a wide array of real-world phenomena. However, each of these phenomena takes place at a certain spatial scale. Therefore, user-generated datasets are of multi-scale nature. Such datasets cannot be properly [...]
The “Visual Crowds for Geo- and Environmental Sciences” workshop
Posted in Uncategorized on Dec 22nd, 2014
As it had been already announced, the workshop titled “Visual Crowds for Geo- and Environmental Sciences” was held on Dec 9, 2014. The workshop aimed at bringing scholars from crowdsourcing and GIScience communities in order to figure out the potentials of crowds in environmental monitoring efforts and GIScience studies. In total, 48 participants from different universities [...]
We know many examples when VGI data (e.g., OpenStreetMap, Wikimapia, etc.) help to cope with effects of various humanitarian disasters all over the world. The reason of using open crowd-sourced data is clear. The geographic data are available for free. If, for some reason, data are missing for a specific region, it is not a [...]
