Land Use
Finding out the current land use is a central question in various subject areas like e.g.:
- Evaluation of the natural enivronment
- Water balance calculations
Evaluation of the fraction of sealed area in urban areas- Agriculture
In the following three examples are shown that show the areas of application for land use classifications.
Example 1
Fig. 1: Land use classification for hydrological
modelling for
flood forecasting and for comprehensive
management of watersheds [ pdf, 121 KB]
Example 2
Fig. 2: Land use classification of a lake catchment for comprehensive lake monitoring;
Left = high-resolution satellite image, right = resulting land use classification

Left= satellite image; middle = classification result (Roof, sealed and unsealed area);
right = derived fraction of sealed area per lot
