TY - T1 - Auxiliary datasets improve accuracy of object-based land use/land cover classification in heterogeneous savanna landscapes SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/305233 T3 - A1 - Hurskainen, Pekka; Adhikari, Hari; Siljander, Mika; Pellikka, Petri; Hemp, Andreas A2 - PB - Y1 - 2019 LA - eng AB - Classifying land use/land cover (LULC) with sufficient accuracy in heterogeneous landscapes is challenging using only satellite imagery. To improve classification accuracy inclusion of features from auxiliary geospatial datasets in classification models is applied since 1980s. However, the method is mostly limited to pixel-based classifications, and the coverage, accuracy and resolution of free and open-access auxiliary datasets have been poor until recent years. We evaluated how recent global c...
