OSM military

Overview: osm: Military rasterized from OSM landuse polygons, first to 10m spatial resolution and after downsampled to 30m by spatial average. Traceability (lineage): The class-wise layers of this dataset were extracted from OpenStreetMap data downloaded from geofabrik.de and aggregated based on labels assigned to the volunteered geographical information objects. Scientific methodology: nan Usability: The extracted classes can be used to preprocess training data (as detailed in Witjes et al., 2022 (in review, preprint available at https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-561383/v3 ). Users are advised to remember the potential inconsistencies in volunteered geographical information, however: Some regions of Europe have been less consistently mapped in OpenStreetMap. This may introduce bias in any subsequent modelling. Uncertainty quantification: nan Data validation approaches: This dataset has not been validated Completeness: Volunteered geographical information often more complete in regions with more active contributors. It is likely that this dataset contains many omission errors in regions of Europe where OpenStreetMap is used less intensively. Consistency: Volunteered geographical information often more complete in regions with more active contributors. It is likely that this dataset contains many omission errors in regions of Europe where OpenStreetMap is used less intensively. Positional accuracy: The rasters have a spatial resolution of 30m Temporal accuracy: The maps are based on an extract from 2020. Thematic accuracy: The 30m pixels of each OSM extract map have values ranging from 0-100, indicating the density aggregated from 10m pixels where rasterized objects burned the value 100 in a 0-value raster.
