Process Description:
Authoritative data sources are identified through open source research. That data is then acquired and transformed into a usable data format. The properly formatted data then goes through preprocessing steps that includes a geocoding operation to give spatial context to the data. The data goes through further refinement using remote sensing techniques. Data is also collected through image processing techniques. After preprocessing, every record goes through a review process and each point is moved to a facility based on-entity location based on interpretation of the best available imagery and open source information. The VAL_DATE field indicates the date in which the review step took place. Validated mobile home park locations obtained from image processing techniques are reverse geocoded to populate the ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, and ZIP fields at a tolerance of 100 meters.
