A classified Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite image covering the peninsular region of Thailand, including Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Krabi provinces. The image was created on 4 March 1990 under the TREES project contract with the Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy, and corresponds to Path 129 Row 54.
Use Cases
- Analyzing historical land cover classes for the Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, and Krabi provinces.
- Validating land cover change models by comparing this 1990 classification with more recent satellite imagery.
- Studying the spatial distribution of classified features within the specific Landsat scene Path 129 Row 54.
Strengths
- Single-date classification from the well-calibrated Landsat Thematic Mapper sensor.
- Covers a specific, defined geographic area of three Thai provinces.
Limitations
- Single snapshot from 1990, limiting temporal analysis.
- Unknown classification scheme and accuracy metrics.
- Original spatial resolution and number of land cover classes are unspecified.
