Most mapping methods for Arctic land cover are pixel-based techniques for low resolution data, and have limitations in mapping land cover heterogeneity over complex Arctic polygonal tundra terrain. In this study, we developed a hybrid object-based approach for Arctic coastal tundra mapping using ver...
