Satellite-based vegetation map (satellittbasert vegetasjonskart)
This seamless, generalized and consistent vegetation map covers the entire Svalbard archipelago. The map is based on a total of 13 Landsat TM/ETM+ images from the years 2000-2002. The images were processed through six operational stages: (1) spectral classification, (2) spectral similarity analysis,...
