Interpreting Land Use Change Through Satellite Imagery

Abstract

Employing a multiperiod approach to monitor land use change may compound the problems associated with interpretation of satellite imagery. In this feasibility study data from satellite imagery were used to inventory new cropland development in the Great Plains and Southeast between 1972 and 1976. Cloud cover problems, intensified by the two-period approach used, made data more difficult to interpret. Field checks were also more difficult because of the scattered and irregularly shaped land use change sites.
