Geocoding is an uncertain process that associates an address or a place name with geographic coordinates. Traditionally, geocoding is performed locally on a stand-alone computer with the geocoding tools usually bundled in GIS software packages. The use of such tools requires skillful operators who know about the issues of geocoding, that is, reference databases and complicated geocoding interpolation techniques. These days, with the advancement in the Internet and Web services technologies, online geocoding provides its functionality to the Internet users with ease; thus, they are often unaware of such issues. With an increasing number of online geocoding services, which differ in their reference databases, the geocoding algorithms, and the strategy for dealing with inputs and outputs, it is crucial for the service requestors to realize the quality of the geocoded results of each service before choosing one for their applications. This is primarily because any errors associated with the geocoded addresses will be propagated to subsequent decisions, activities, modeling, and analysis. This article examines the quality of five online geocoding services: Geocoder.us, Google, MapPoint, MapQuest, and Yahoo!. The quality of each geocoding service is evaluated with three metrics: match rate, positional accuracy, and similarity. A set of addresses from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) database were used as a baseline. The results were statistically analyzed with respect to different location characteristics. The outcome of this study reveals the differences among the online geocoding services on the quality of their geocoding results and it can be used as a general guideline for selecting a suitable service that matches an application's needs. 相似文献

Positional Accuracy of Spatial Data: Non-Normal Distributions and a Critique of the National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5

Spatial data quality is a paramount concern in all GIS applications. Existing spatial data accuracy standards, including the National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) used in the United States, commonly assume the positional error of spatial data is normally distributed. This research has characterized the distribution of the positional error in four types of spatial data: GPS locations, street geocoding, TIGER roads, and LIDAR elevation data. The positional error in GPS locations can be approximated with a Rayleigh distribution, the positional error in street geocoding and TIGER roads can be approximated with a log‐normal distribution, and the positional error in LIDAR elevation data can be approximated with a normal distribution of the original vertical error values after removal of a small number of outliers. For all four data types considered, however, these solutions are only approximations, and some evidence of non‐stationary behavior resulting in lack of normality was observed in all four datasets. Monte‐Carlo simulation of the robustness of accuracy statistics revealed that the conventional 100% Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) statistic is not reliable for non‐normal distributions. Some degree of data trimming is recommended through the use of 90% and 95% RMSE statistics. Percentiles, however, are not very robust as single positional accuracy statistics. The non‐normal distribution of positional errors in spatial data has implications for spatial data accuracy standards and error propagation modeling. Specific recommendations are formulated for revisions of the NSSDA. 相似文献
