Binary Land-Cover Marker Examples

Artificial surface

Description

The first example, FOI = 6084493001 is claimed to be meadow land-use, however, with the approach outlined above we have found that a portion of the FOI is likely to be covered with an artificial surface.

This same FOI were recognized as built-up also by the land-group marker and has been pointed-out also in the document that describes the crop and land-group markers. It is good that both markers agree, however the added value of the marker based on the binary built-up classifier is that it can be very easily understood why the marker was triggered by a FOI, since we have clear visual evidence via the probability mask shown in the image above.

Inconsistent pixels

Description

The second example, FOI = 6550882001, is also claimed to be arable-land growing grass-clover mixtures. However, in we can quite clearly see from the example that the upper-right part of the FOI is not congruent with this claim. In this case, the land-group prediction for the FOI is consistent with the claim, so this marker brings added value compared to the land-group marker.
