Scope of the work
The scope of the work is comparing the efficacy of three selected procedures to detect measurement errors in an area frame sample survey that uses a combination of orthophoto interpretation and ground survey
11 july 2008 European Conference on Quality
Methods for detection of measurement errors
Three methods have been selected to be compared:
double-blind survey;
check of ground data with ausiliary data sources;
cross-check of orto-photo interpretation and ground-survey outcomes to evaluate the accuracy of stratification
11 july 2008 European Conference on Quality
Area frame sample survey carried out by Eurostat since 2001.Main objectives are providing:
a) coherent and harmonised statistics on land use and land cover;
b) a common sampling base (frame, nomenclature, data treatment) to be used for further scopes;
c) ground evidence for calibration of satellite images;
d) information on aspects relating to the agro- environment
Case study: Land Use and Coverage Area frame sample Survey (LUCAS)
11 july 2008 European Conference on Quality
Second phase sample:Ground survey
Record land cover and land use according to the full nomenclature
East
During the ground survey, surveyors: Reach the point using GPS and
cartographic material
Take pictures (Point, Cov,N,E,S,W,irr)
Walk the transect (250 m. East)

1° procedure: Double blind survey
A second survey was organised in 2006 in parallel to the main LUCAS 2006 survey.
It was conducted by an independent company not in charge of the LUCAS survey in the countries involved.
No information were provided on the results of the main survey.
The double blind-survey sample size represented 5% of the total survey sample and counted almost 8200 points.

Outcomes of double-blind survey
The possible outcomes of the double-blind survey were:
Land Cover/Land Use being the same between the two surveys (correct points observed from the same location);
Land Cover/Land Use being different between the two surveys but both correct (different rules of observation - look north, east, etc. - or change in the land cover between the two visits (crops harvested, sown, building built, etc...);
Land Cover/Land Use being different between the two surveys and lack of sufficient information to say which survey is correct;
Land Cover/Land Use being different between the two surveys and the double-blind survey being correct;
Land Cover/Land Use being different between the two surveys and the main survey being correct.

3° procedure: comparison of orthophoto interpretation and ground survey
A comparison of the classification of the points according to the ground observation and the photointerpretation has been conducted in a comparable nomenclature of 7 classes.
A proportion of agreement has been computed
Since points belonging to different strata have been subsampled with probability that could be 5 times larger/lower, a weighted proportion of agreement is computed in addition to the unweighted one.
