Accuracy Assessment Validating a Land cover Map AA_Vis_1
Students examine both the “true color” And “false-color Infrared” images provided by GLOBE AA_Vis_2
Students construct a Land Cover Map keyed to the MUC System AA_Vis_3
Students gather data From 90 x 90 m Qualitative Land Cover Samples to “validate” their Map. AA_Vis_4
Site 1 1222 Site 6 Site 2 1121 At each of these sites, The MUC value is determined, a GPS reading is taken, and photographs are taken. These are Validation Data. Site 3 92 1121 Site 4 Site 5 92 91 Site 7 Site 8 1222 1121 AA_Vis_5
