Welcome to our free high resolution object-oriented land-cover classification tutorial. This tutorial uses only data freely available online from MassGIS. Thank you, MassGIS! Learn about the roots of our tutorial here.
Before you get started . . .
Here you will learn how to:
Create a land-cover dataset that captures small extent phenomena like trees, shrubs, sheds, golf course sand traps, and more incorporate object-oriented classification methods into your land-cover mapping project include ancillary data in your classification and validation
validate without visiting the field determine the accuracy of your population given the accuracy of your sample - include strata in validation which you suspect are better characterized by a phenomenon on the ground which cannot be classified using the reference image alone
create soft classified maps of any of your land-cover categories or validation strata
analyze the proportions of land-covers at any scale, such as by town, census block, or parcel - report mean NDVI or other indices for a given land-cover by a given geography. For example, report NDVI for fine green areas by parcel.
