| Land Use / Land Cover Classification (Pascagoula, Mississippi) |
Creating a classified land use and land cover (LULC) map from an aerial image was the goal for this lab. After a polygon feature shapefile was created and additional fields were added to the attribute table for LULC code and description, Editor was used to create features by digitizing polygons for different categories of land use and land cover. Vertex and edge snapping were used to digitize adjacent polygons, but eventually some issues involving the Snapping Toolbar were encountered that could not be resolved promptly. The ability to clip out polygons from within other polygons is a skill that will be handy for future projects. The identify tool was very helpful while clipping out polygons.
Although time-consuming, especially because of the scale and zoom level I selected (it seemed like a good choice initially), this was a very enjoyable lab to complete.
