Abstract:

• Summary of the purpose is clear and concise (2)
• Summary of findings is clear and important results are included (2)

Introduction:

• Area description – location & dominant land cover types (3)
• Imagery & sensor description – resolution (spectral & spatial), applications, sensor (3)
• Colour composite – appropriate & correct display w. all map elements (2)
• Description of colour composite – bands used (λ), features highlighted (2)

Analysis:

Unsupervised classification:

• Histogram (1)
• Second CLUSTER image – classes &  map elements (3)
• ISOCLUST image – classes & map elements (2)
• Discussion: (5)
• Comment on the ability of the unsupervised classification procedure to identify land cover types.
• Compare and contrast the output of CLUSTER and ISOCLUST.
• Highlight areas of successful and failed classification.

Supervised classification:

• Training site image – appropriate delineation & all map elements (2)
• SIGCOMP figure and a comment on the spectral separability of the classes. (3)
• Justify method choice and include a description of the chosen statistical technique. (3)
• Supervised classification image – legend & all other map elements (1)
• Discussion: (3)
• Comment on the ability of the supervised classification procedure to identify land cover types.
• Highlight areas of successful and failed classification.

Conclusion:

• Success of classification efforts? (3)
• What land cover types are clearly identified? Areas of misclassification?
• Recommendations: (4)
• What classification routine would you recommend for land cover identification?
• How could land cover identification be improved?
