Urban Land Cover Maps for Mekelle, Ethiopia and Polokwane, South Africa, 2020

Description

This dataset consists of very high resolution urban land cover maps for two African cities, Mekelle, Ethiopia and Polokwane, South Africa for 2020. Maps were generated from Planet SuperDove satellite imagery at 3.125-m spatial resolution, and Worldview-3 satellite imagery (Maxar Techologies) at two spatial resolutions, 2 m for multispectral imagery and 0.5-m spatial resolution for pansharpened imagery. An object-based image classification approach was used to produce a multi-class land cover product for each image source. The aim of this work was to support fine scale urban land cover analyses and comparative assessments between different high resolution satellite imagery sources. The data are provided in shapefile format.
