Geocoding Research

Overview

My research to improve and explain the accuracy associated with geocoding.

  • Is too specific
    • Most approaches focus on a single data source
    • Most approaches use a single resolution of data, subject, and time
  • Is not flexible
    • New data layers need to be incorporated as the become available

If you are interested in our approach to solving some of these problems, please keep reading.
