Land cover mapping of large areas from satellites: Status and research priorities
Abstract
Although land cover mapping is one of the earliest applications of remote sensing technology, routine mapping over large areas has only relatively recently come under consideration. This change has resulted from new information requirements as well as from new developments in remote sensing science and technology. In the near future, new data types will become available that will enable marked progress to be made in land cover mapping over large areas at a range of spatial resolutions. This paper is concerned with mapping strategies based on 'coarse' and 'fine' resolution satellite data as well as their combinations. The status of land cover mapping is discussed in relation to requirements, data sources and analysis methodologies - including pixel or scene compositing, radiometric corrections, classification and accuracy assessment. The overview sets the stage for identifying research priorities in data pre-processing and classification in relation to forthcoming improvements in data sources as well as new requirements for land cover information.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
