Leishmaniasis in Brazil: Landcover Classes
This landcover map was the result of a reclassification of an unsupervised
spectral classification of a Landsat TM image acquired 1995-10-18. The
original classification was used to generate thirty landcover classes.
Probable landuse-category seeds were then identified and used as input to
a kernel-based spatial reclassification
(SPARK)
algorithm. The modified SPARK algorithm uses landcover class adjacency to
reclassify an image. The boundaries of Teresina's 74 districts are overlaid
in black.
