Lab 8: Imagery Classification

Goal of this map: analyze the local county to determine how much urban development has increased in the last four years. To accomplish this task, I used the 2001 NLCD thematic raster for the study area and the latest Landsat 8 data. I classified the Landsat data according to the MRLC Developed class and then compared it to NLCD data. In this exercise, I created the thematic raster using unsupervised pixel-based image classification. – ESRI.com
