OUR PROCESS
Local Calibration to Factor in Regional Ecosystems
Each country and landscape presents a number of factors that can influence the results of remotely sensed land cover data.
Mosaic landscapes are prevalent across Tanzania which requires differentiation between the various woody cover classes, including natural forest and anthropogenic use of tree cover in the landscape.
This example shows how our HabitatMapper product has captured this patchwork of landcover, delineating between forest, tree crop, and herbaceous crops with trees.
Our mapping process fuses multiple satellite sensors and integrates ecological expertise to train our machine learning framework to take into account these local factors to compile a comprehensive, accurate, and reliable dataset.
ACCURACY ASSESSMENT
Ensuring Accuracy Even in Challenging Landscapes
We assess the accuracy of our products and their uncertainty in a statistically rigorous way, following best practice as described in the scientific literature and following international standards and provide associated results for every map – whether at the national-level or a single AOI.
