GIS 4043 Land Use/Land Cover Classification

 Module 2 Lab

This week we were introduced to Land Use/Land Cover Classification. We were given an aerial photograph and asked to digitize an area which was located in Pascagoula, MS. We created polygons using a Level II classification system. Once that was completed we selected 30 points to use for ground truthing to check the accuracy of the mapping classification. Below is the map generated from my results from the lab:

This exercise gave me a chance to practice many map making skills that I have not used recently. Making polygons was a little challenging but we did use new tools, auto complete for polygons and also the clip tool when smaller polygons were created within larger ones.
