Indicator: Land Use and Land Cover

Status

Available on Project Basis

Description

Maps land into nine distinct categories using Dynamic World classification: water, trees, grass, flooded vegetation, crops, shrub & scrub, built-up areas, bare ground, and snow & ice.

Unit

Land cover classification labels and percentage coverage for each class⁠

Temporal Resolution

Annual, available from June 2015

Spatial Resolution

10 meters

Data

Sentinel-2 satellite imagery providing multispectral optical data⁠

Method

Uses deep learning models (Convolutional Neural Networks) trained on labeled Sentinel-2 images to classify pixels into land cover types.
