GIS 4035: Photo Interpretation and Remote Sensing: Module 4 – Ground Truthing and Accuracy Assessment

Module 4:  Ground Truthing and Accuracy Assessment

This week’s lab involved the plotting of 30 systematic points for ground truthing and accuracy assessment with Google maps as compared to the previous classification of features in a natural color aerial photograph of Pascagoula, MS using the USGS Standard Land Use Land Cover Classification System.  The features were initially identified on the ground based size, shape, color, pattern, shadows, and association.

The map below represents the accuracy assessment as described above.
