GIS4035: Module 3 - Land Use and Land Cover Classification

This week's assignment was to create a land use and land cover classification for an aerial image that was provided. The study area is a portion of Pascagoula, MS including a good portion of wetlands and open water. We were provided with a basic classification scheme based on the one used by the US Geological Survey and had to identify various land types and create polygons to mark off the various classes as we perceived them on the aerial image. Care had to be taken to keep all the classes at the same scale.
