Importance of Quality Control and Quality Assurance in Satellite Earth Observation Products

Importance of Quality Control and Quality Assurance in Satellite Earth Observation Products
"How important is quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) in the earth observation (EO) sector?" Nowadays, tons of maps have become available through the internet, often free of charge. These data sets are often used for decision making without considering their limitations in missing accuracy and quality information. On the other hand, sometimes existing data is not used, because necessary metadata is not available. In this webinar, we raise awareness about the importance of proper accuracy assessment, quality assurance and quality control of EO products.  Webinar delivered by EO4SD-URBAN project consortium for European Space Agency (ESA) and World Bank Group (WBG). The material is extracted from training material provided by the EO4SD-URBAN project which is funded by the European Space Agency and implemented by GAF AG and Consortium.
