- Statement

UKCEH’s automated land cover algorithms classify 10 m pixels across the whole of UK. Training data were automatically selected from stable land covers over the interval of 2018 to 2020. A Random Forest classifier used these to classify four composite images representing per season median surface reflectance. Seasonal images were integrated with context layers (e.g., height, aspect, slope, coastal proximity, urban proximity and so forth) to reduce confusion among classes with similar spectra.
Land cover was validated by organising the 10 m pixel classification into a land parcel framework (the LCM2021 classified land parcels product). The classified land parcels were compared to known land cover producing a confusion matrix to determine overall and per class accuracy. Details are available from the product documentation accompanying this dataset.
The 25 m rasterised land parcels product is created by pixelating the corresponding land parcel product.
