Agricultural Land Use Maps at RapidEye (5m) Scale for Dassari Watershed (Benin), 2012 and 2013

These LULC maps were created through automatic digital classification of RapidEye imagery acquired in November 2012. Reference (or field) data on which the classification was based were acquired through a field campaign that lasted from June to November 2012. Standard image pre-processing techniques such as geometric and radiometric correction were conducted on the data prior to classification. The Random Forest classification algorithm was used for classification. A single level classification was conducted to reveal six LULC classes. Discrimination between different crop types was not possible due to the use of a mono-temporal image
