Marketing Engagement Notice: Enhancing UK Estimates of Green Spaces

Tender description

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is looking to identify and engage with industry partners to help bring third party data to directly support a 'shift' to accessing better more relevant data sources and to improve the aggregate official statistics about our population, society and economy that decision makers, businesses and citizens so urgently need. ONS would like to improve the accuracy of their green spaces statistics by using aerial imagery to estimate how much green space exists in residential gardens. This is a research project and the first attempt will calculate the percentage of green pixels in the image. A second attempt will improve on the accuracy of this by eliminating items which are not living such as green sheds.
