Landcover/Landuse Classification

GRS has developed specialized algorithms and processes to enable the extraction of complex features from digital imagery. Our approach, called Discrete Classification, enables the use,  evaluation, and identification of individual features and characteristics found in the image data set.  GRS has developed Confusion and Fidelity Reports to identify sources of confusion, in terms of botanical/land cover characteristics and verify the fidelity of classification efforts before any actual image classification maps are ever developed.  The ability to deal with individual training site data is a tremendous advantage over the more traditional clustered training data approach that is so often used.  GRS has also performed projects requiring the manual interpretation and extraction of GIS features from digital photographic images as well as high-resolution satellite images.  GRS image classification projects have resulted in the creation of complex GIS layers with associated database tables consisting of detailed quantitative descriptions of classified features.
