Statement

UKCEH’s automated land cover algorithms classify 10 m pixels across the whole of UK. A Random Forest classifier is used to classify four composite satellite images representing per season median surface reflectance, based on training data comprising locations of known land cover for 21 land cover classes. Seasonal images were integrated with context layers (e.g., height, aspect, slope, coastal proximity, urban proximity and so forth) to reduce confusion among classes with similar spectra. Land cover was validated by organising the 10 m pixel classification into a land parcel framework (the LCM2024 classified land parcels product). The classified land parcels were compared to known land cover producing a confusion matrix to determine overall and per class accuracy. Details are available from the product documentation. The 25 m rasterised land parcels product is created by rasterising the corresponding land parcel product.
