SPOT6 satellite imagery, land cover and land use classification of 5 areas in the South Province of New Caledonia

These 5 areas have been manually segmented and then classified by photo-interpretation according to two types of classification: (i) classification of the bio-geophysical land cover, containing 6 different classes (buildings, bare soil, forest, low-density vegetation; water bodies, Shadows and Clouds); (ii) classification of the land use divided into 15 distinct classes.

Two levels of hierarchy have been established. The first level separates four classes: the urban fabric, the natural formation, the wetlands and the shadows and clouds. The second level is described in the file "NC_NomLU.png".
