Quantitative updating of land use information on 1:50,000 scale topographic maps using spot landsat thematic mapper imagery

This report gives the results of a study carried out in the Remote Sensing Department of the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) in The Netherlands concerning the updating of land use on topographic maps using remote sensing information. It was found that SPOT multispectral imagery is less suitable for land use classification purposes than...

Improvement of classification results from satellite imagery using context information from topographic maps

Updating land-use information on topographic maps using satellite imagery : combining the advantages of two accessible sources of geographic information

This paper examines the possibilities of using Landsat Thematic Mapper images for updating land-use information on topographic maps. Information obtained from satellite images can be kept up-todate and a large number of classes can be distinguished. However, the quality of the information still leaves much to be desired, with a reliability of no...
