[Qgis-user] QGIS: great at sea...(teaching & research in the field)

[Leo Kris Palao]

Hi QGIS Users,

I have also a very nice experience with QGIS, that I would like to write a
simple case study for sharing. Last November, we used QGIS live tracking
capability to collect precise ground-truth data using medium resolution
imagery for complex land use pattern mapping. We simply overlay MODIS grids
(vector format) and landsat imagery in QGIS. By overlaying the grids in
QGIS we know our relative position on the ground with respect to each MODIS
pixels. Then we orient our eyes based on the extent and direction of the
pixels. We can accurately categorize the land use pattern for each pixel.
And this helps us a lot, since we might be collecting/evaluating ground
information for wrong pixels. We then use Add feature function to
automatically grab the current point. Thanks QGIS!
