New study evaluates Quebec's COTQ land cover product against global datasets

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper systematically evaluates the COTQ provincial land cover product, developed for Quebec, against three global 10-m land cover datasets: ESA WorldCover, ESRI LandCover, and Google DynamicWorld. The study harmonizes the products under a common legend and employs structural indicators, spectral separability metrics, and photo-interpretation to analyze their consistency and differences. Results indicate that COTQ is structurally and spectrally most similar to ESA WorldCover, with notable variations in definitions and priorities, especially for urban, wetland, and rocky areas. AI

IMPACT Provides a detailed comparison of land cover products, aiding in the selection and application of satellite-derived data for environmental monitoring and land management.

    A Systematic Evaluation of the COTQ Provincial Land Cover Product: Structural Consistency, Spectral Separability, and Relative Positioning Against ESA, ESRI, and Google Products

    arXiv:2609.17731v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-resolution land use and land cover (LULC) products derived from Sentinel-2 imagery are widely used for environmental monitoring and land management, yet their performance can vary across regions with complex ecological gradient…
