Land Use and Land cover

 This week students were tasked with digitizing an arial image of Pascagoula Mississippi. The goal was to create a map that represented land use and land cover down to a level two classification. After classifying the different areas in the map such as residential areas, commercial and services, Transportation, ect, 30 survey points were placed randomly on the map to check for accuracy. Using google map street view these points were reviewed and then updated on the map. Only 5 of the 30 points were determined to be false, from my review it was hard to distinguish between an industrial area and a commercial area.
