Description:
Abstract:
This land cover data layer was derived from Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite data collected from 1991, 1992 and 1993. These data were collaborated and merged to create a grid depicting a 30-meter land cover for the state of Missouri.
Purpose:
Generally used for course land-use planning in addition to geographic and environmental analyses.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Thematic Mapper data from three different years (1991, 1992 and 1993) was used (two dates for most scenes) to create the land cover data layer. More than 100 biologists collected data on more than 10,500 polygons for the purposes of ground verification.

Process_Description:
Step 1. We evaluated he band correlation for each TM scene.

Thematic Mapper scenes used are: path/row Date (yr/m/d) 23/34 93/10/15 23/35 92/10/12 23/35 93/04/22 24/33 91/08/14 24/33 91/10/17 24/35 92/10/03 24/35 91/04/21 24/35 93/06/16 25/32 92/05/03 25/32 92/09/24 25/33 92/05/03 25/33 92/09/24 25/34 92/05/03 25/34 92/09/24 25/35 92/05/03 25/35 92/09/24 25/35 93/09/27 26/32 92/10/01 26/32 92/03/23 26/33 91/09/29 26/33 91/04/06 26/34 92/08/14 26/34 92/03/23 26/35 92/07/13 27/32 92/05/01 27/32 92/08/21 27/33 92/03/14 27/33 92/08/21 24/34 92/10/03 23/34 91/01/06

Process_Description:
Step 2. The 3 most unrelated bands were identified and extracted, and two dates were merged to form a six-band data set.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Step 3. We ran an unsupervised classification using ERDAS Imagine software on the product derived from steps 1 and 2 to identify 60 spectral clusters per image.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Step 4. We initially assigned land cover classes to each spectral class for each scene using expert knowledge (views of the classified and raw images on screen) plus views of NAPP photographs from 1992. We then intersected ecological subsections with the classification in order to carry forward with collection of ground-based data, and to refine the classification by re-assigning land cover class by subsection for each image as needed.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Step 5. We segmented the images by ecological subsection and created maps of the initial classification results, field data collection forms, and a protocol to collect on-the-ground data. Our goal was to check several examples of the land cover class assignment for each spectral class within each ecological subsection of Missouri for all images. More than 100 biologists collected data on more than 10,500 polygons (marked in USGS 7.5' quadrangles); each polygon represented a cluster of pixels from one specral class.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Step 6. We developed a Microsoft Access database ot manage and to analyze the field data. These data and further review of photographs and expert opinion were used to rerive the final classification results. This map finalization process involved many hours of on-screen review and revision. To make the final land cover assignments for areas where scenes overlapped, we gave confidence ratings to each specral cluster for each image, and we defined the order of image overlap. Hence, each pixel got a unique cover class assignment based on our confidence rating for individual images plus the order of overlap of images (if confidence ratings were equal but cover class assignments different for a given pixel, the 'tie' was decided based on the order of overlap images). Post processing: Forty-four land cover classes were assigned based on the process described above. We merged these to form 16 cover classes in this version of the classification result. In addition, the original 30-meter pixel resolution database was modified to reduce noise using an AML in Arc/Info (available on request; see contact information). All regions with fewer than four contiguous 30-meter cells were converted to No Data. The No Data cells were filled with the majority surrounding class. If no majority class could be identified, then the No Data designation was cnserved. These remaining No Data cells were assigned a cover class based on the nearest neighbor as calculated using Euclidean distance (e.g. closer to 'true distance' versus cell-based distance).
