Geostatistics indicator kriging with locally
varying means to integrate the image classifier’s posterior probability vectors and reference data (Kyriakidis & Dungan, 2001)
SIS with prediction via collocated indicator cokriging for updating cover type maps and for estimation of the spatial distribution of prediction errors (Magnussen and De Bruin, 2003)

Rationale
• for each thematic class different errors occur depending on sensors and ground conditions

Method
1. Calculate the trend of the errors mi
2. Calculate local error e(x) conditioned to the mean error of the predicted class for that location and to the neighboring error values

Mapping the spatial dispersion of classification error e(x)1. Define a random path visiting each node u of
the grid2. For each location u along the path
1. Search conditioning data (point data and previously simulated values) and compute point-to-point covariances
2. Build and solve the kringing system conditioned to local varying means
3. Define local ccdf with its mean and variance given by the kriging estimate and variance
4. Draw a value from the ccdf and add the simulated value to data set
3. Repeat to generate another simulated realization

Final remarks Geostatistics provides na adequacte
framework to assess spatial accuracy
In areas with field data, its influence prevails over the error trend mi(x) and vice-versa;
The method succeeded to map the spatial distribution of classification errors accounting for: the spatial continuity of each land cover class errors. Varying errors pattern over the classification area
