Abstract
When mapping forest regions and vegetation from satellite imagery or small-scale photography, it is essential to obtain an adequate sample of geographically distributed, unbiased verification and validation data to both drive the classification and assess the accuracy of the results. Traditionally, this has required on-site visits or “ground truthing” of a randomly selected set of locations distributed across the region to be mapped, an often expensive and time consuming process.
