Description :

The purpose was to compare IKONOS data with various other data sources, for the updating of topographical maps, to produce a vegetation map, which can serve as input in hydrological models, and to map expansion of rural settlements and urbanisation.

A further purpose was to present a methodology to integrate multi-source remote sensing data into a consistent time series of land cover maps in order to carry out change detection.
