CLC_FCS60_1980: the China's 60 m land cover product with fine classification system in 1980

CLC_FCS60_1980 is China’s 60 m land cover product with a fine classification system that adopts comprehensive change detection method. It utilizes a refined classification system, which is inherited from the GLC_FCS30D product, containing 35 land-cover categories and covering the year 1980. Specifically, it is developed by combining an improved comprehensive change detection method, local adaptive classification models, and a series of post-classification processing methods, using Landsat MSS and TM imagery. Validation results show that it achieves an overall accuracy of 85.56% (±0.87%) for the basic classification system (10 major land-cover types) and 69.11% (±1.14%) for the LCCS level-1 validation system (17 LCCS land-cover types).

The CLC_FCS60_1980 dataset has been stored by a total of 63 independent 5°×5° geographical tiles, and the tile names as “CLC_FCS60_1980_E***N##”, in which the “***” and “##” illustrate the longitude and latitude coordinates of the upper left corner of the tile data.
