Developing land cover maps for barrier islands using satellite imagery

Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

The objective of this ML/AL use case was to map land cover on barrier islands using satellite imagery.

Detailed example

Prediction of land cover types based on signatures from training data (i.e., pixels with class labels).

AI / analytics pattern

Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.

Automation level / stage

b) Pilot – The use case has been deployed in a limited test or pilot capacity.

Expected benefit

Prediction of land cover types based on signatures from training data (i.e., pixels with class labels).

Controls / human review

ATO: No; PIA: Not published

Data needed

Satellite imagery was used for the mapping process. Photointerpetation and existing land cover maps were used for the training and testing dataset development.
