Abstract
In the ReCover project under the Framework Program 7 of
the European Commission, beyond state-of-the-art service
capabilities are generated to support fighting
deforestation and forest degradation in the tropical
region. One of the five study sites is State of Chiapas
in southern Mexico. Fifteen products that characterize
the state of the forest and changes were delivered during
the first service stage.
Wall-to-wall mapping was performed for 1992, 1994, and
2009 using Landsat and RapidEye imagery. The overall
accuracy in forest and non-forest mapping was 88 % in two
independent data sets of field samples and visually
interpreted plots from Kompsat-2 images.
