Abstract

The process of acquiring small format aerial digital images for assessing land cover classification of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite images is discussed. Images positional accuracy and suitability for assessing land cover classification is tested. Using an economic configuration of onboard navigation sensors, a positional accuracy of 15 m in the images center points locations can be achieved. In addition, dithered 3 band color infrared images can be used for assessing land cover classification of TM satellite images.
