February 13, 2018 - February 20, 2018
In last year’s ARSET Advanced Webinar: Land Cover Classification with Satellite Imagery, attendees learned the basic steps to create a supervised land cover classification. The next step to using land cover classifications is being able to evaluate the performance of a land cover map using accuracy assessments. This training will equip attendees with the skills necessary to conduct an accuracy assessment on a land cover map and identify which classes might be misrepresented.
By the end of the training, attendees will be able to:
- Conduct an accuracy assessment on a land cover map
- Understand how to create and use reference data
- Become familiar with sample designs for accuracy assessment
- Develop and interpret an error matrix
This training is primarily intended for local, regional, state, federal, and international organizations interested in assessing vegetation condition using satellite imagery.
- Two 2-hour sessions
An overview of accuracy assessment, identifying reference data, and sample designs and methods.
