Land use/land cover map accuracy assessment of Landsat Thematic Mapper data using the DIMAPS image processing system for Narathiwat Province, Thailand

Abstract

Several land useAand cover maps of Narathiwat province are derived from various single band, three‐band color combinations, using unsupervised and supervised classifications of Landsat Thematic Mapper data available at the INRDM Program, Asian Institute of Technology. The Landsat Thematic Mapper data used has been radiometrically and geometrically corrected and a final ground resolution of 25×25m was obtained. Although the land useAand cover of the area is complex, the tested accuracy is satisfactory.
