Key facts
Contents & fields
The dataset contains one SHP vector file with land cover classification results for the Lake Brome area. Classification is based on multidate Landsat-ETM and RADARSAT-1 images, using Definiens Earth software for object-oriented segmentation and fuzzy logic. Target classes include: agriculture (annual and perennial), road system (expressways, roads, forest roads), water system (permanent and non-permanent waterways, non-permanent ponds under forest cover), wetlands, urban areas, and forests. No field-level description is provided on the source page.
