Research on accuracy of field patrol data based on GIS

Abstract

Field patrol is the main method of wildlife protection, which plays a very important role in the protection and management of natural resources and biodiversity in nature reserves. However, it is difficult to completely evaluate the patrol accuracy, because it is impossible to preset the animal site in advance. Based on patrol data collected from the First Ecological Guard Competition, the accuracy of patrol route, animal site and geographical factor of animal site and GIS method are evaluated and analyzed. The results show that: (1) the patrol route has the highest accuracy, and the average accuracy is 87.91%, which indicates that ranger could basically patrol according to the preset patrol route; (2) the accuracy of animal site is not as good as that of patrol route, and the average accuracy is 51.10%, mainly because recorded animals are not right, standardized and complete; (3) the altitude accuracy is high, the slope accuracy is very low. It is recommended that slope data would no longer be recorded in the future and be directly obtained by GIS method. The results are helpful to improve the patrol accuracy evaluation system.
