#Confusion matrix

1 post

Two habitat maps of the Dark Peak side by side. Left: the rule-based map from Sentinel-2, with purple blanket bog and lilac heath on the Kinder and Bleaklow plateaux, orange bracken on the valley sides, green grassland and woodland in the valleys and blue reservoirs in the Derwent valley. Right: Living England 2022-23 for the same area, with smoother patches of the same classes.

Habitat mapping with Sentinel-2 in Python: spectral index rules and an honest accuracy assessment

Map blanket bog, heath, bracken, grassland, woodland, water and built-up land in the Peak District from 2023 Sentinel-2 seasonal composites with an eight-rule spectral index classifier, then assess it properly: a confusion matrix, user's and producer's accuracy, kappa and its caveats, block-bootstrap confidence intervals, and why a random train/test split overstates accuracy.
