Utilization of mid-resolution imagery and remote sensing techniques to characterize urban growth over the Philippi Horticultural Area

2022FEBEREC-STD-016 <br> CHange Detection 2015-2021. A change detection table was uploaded that indicates the loss of natural areas, notably loss of vegetation to urban and other features. <br> A confusion matrix (2020) table has been uploaded which represents a visual difference between the actual and predicted classifications of the model created for 2020. This process is done in order to distinguish between a classification system that mislabels another classification. <br> Validation Raster Sample was also added. This sample is a portion of the total sample made accessible for the model development and is set aside as an in-time validation sample. Random partitioning of the overall sample is accomplished, separating the data into a portion used for development and the remaining amount needed for validation. <br> Difference Vegetation Index (DVI). This was one of the indices utilised in order to improve the accuracy of the feature coverage that were being displyed on the change detection map.
