A New Method for the Assessment of Spatial Accuracy and Completeness of OpenStreetMap Building Footprints
TL;DR: The results of the comparison show that the positional accuracy of the OSM buildings is at least compatible with the quality of the reference dataset at the scale of 1:5000 since the average deviation, with respect to the authoritative map, is below the expected tolerance of 3 m.
