Delaware River Basin High-Resolution Land Cover

High-resolution land cover dataset for the Delaware River Basin developed by the UVM Spatial Analysis Lab. The primary data sources were 2006-2008 leaf-off LiDAR data, 2005-2008 leaf-off orthoimagery, and 2013 leaf-on orthoimagery. Ancillary data sources such as LiDAR-derived breaklines for roads and hydrology were also used to augment the land-cover mapping. Land cover class assignment was done using a rule-based expert system embedded within an object-based framework. Land cover classes include:
Land cover class
0 - Background
1 - Water
2 - Emergent Wetlands
3 - Tree Canopy
4 - Scrub/Shrub
5 - Low Vegetation
6 - Barren
7 - Structures
8 - Other Impervious Surfaces
9 - Roads
10 - Tree Canopy over Structures
11 - Tree Canopy over Other Impervious Surfaces
12 - Tree Canopy over Roads
