Land Cover Map 2023 (land parcels, N. Ireland)

This is a vector data set representing the land surface of Northern Ireland, classified into 21 UKCEH land cover classes, based upon Biodiversity Action Plan broad habitats. This vector Land Parcel dataset is the result of intersecting the 10m raster classified pixel datasets with the UKCEH Land Parcel Spatial Framework to generate summary land parcel attributes for each land cover parcel. A full description of this and all UKCEH LCM2023 products are available from the LCM2023 product documentation. Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/0ff4958d-47bc-4260-9aaf-399de3b83b6f

Statement
UKCEH's automated land cover algorithms classify 10 m pixels across the whole of UK. Training data were automatically selected from stable land covers over the interval of 2020 to 2022. A Random Forest classifier used these to classify four composite images representing per season median surface reflectance. 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 LCM2023 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 pixelating the corresponding land parcel product.
