Classification Methods
Flexible land cover database Unsupervised multi-temporal classification of
1992-1993 AVHRR NDVI data Classification implemented on a continent by
continent basis
Team interpretation to encourage consistency
External peer review of draft results
Validated IGBP land cover layer

Continents to World – Combine Maps
Set rules for top and middle level classification systems
Describe land cover, vegetation seasonality, structure, and leave longevity consistently
Hold frequent project meetings to review consistency
Accuracy measured separately for each mapping area

Current and Future R&D Interests
Continue global land cover database research using new coarse/moderate resolution sensors
Test new techniques/algorithms Integrate satellite imagery with sampling-based
field data
Sampling-based field data
Focus on attributes, themes that are useful for both science and land management

• Spatial models such as KNN, Co-kriging are nonparametric spatial statistics
• Potential tool for extending field measurements to image data/maps
• Mapping vegetation structure measured on permanent plots

Sample2: U2, V2 at (x2, y2)
Sample3: V3at (x3, y3)
Calculate U0at (x0, y0)
