Forest Canopy Cover and Impervious Surface Cover – Analysis of Zone 41 Northeast Research Station North Central Research Station USGS EROS Data Center (EDC)
Percent Impervious Surface and Canopy Cover Analyses For USGS Mapping Zone 41 (Minnesota) • Objectives: • Develop a remote sensing-based mapping approach for urban forests that can be implemented nationally. • Operational procedures for deriving percent forest and impervious land cover • Approach: • High-resolution images train moderate-resolution image classification • Model building • Image processing tools
