High-Resolution Land Cover Maps of Lāna‘i, Hawai‘i, 2020 - Species Specific Classes

This raster depicts the distribution of 15 species-specific vegetation classes across the island of Lāna‘i at 2m resolution. It represents the final selected neural network model predictions with expert-adjusted posterior probabilities. Each pixel is assigned to the most likely species-specific class based on the model. Overall and class-specific accuracy assessments indicate this map has generally over 95% accuracy. It provides detailed species-level vegetation mapping to support conservation planning and monitoring.
Please note that to reduce the inherent 'salt and pepper' noise in the final land cover classification map, we applied a 3x3 pixel moving window majority filter to the final classification results.
