In this master thesis, we tested the Map Comparison Kit – software for comparison of raster maps. We tested methods for categorical as well as numerical data. In the comparison analyses, spatial data of Slovenia were used. We performed comparisons of categorical maps with data consisting of numbers of municipalities during four different years (1993, 2000, 2006 and 2014) and data of the actual land use during five different years (2002, 2005, 2009, 2012 and 2017). For testing algorithms that are for comparisons of numerical data, we chose two satellite imagery from years 2001 and 2011 and data of average air temperature during years 1971 and 2000 for six different months (January, February, April, May, July, and December). The results of comparison analyses showed that the MCK software is suitable for executing comparisons on Slovenian data. We defined the suitability of analyzed methods for each one among four analyzed data groups.
