This analysis determined the best individual band and combinations of various numbers of bands for land use land cover mapping for three sites in Peru. The data included Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) optical data, PALSAR L-band dual-polarized radar, and derived radar texture images. Spectral signatures were first obtained for each site class and separability between classes determined using divergence measures. Results show that the best single band for analysis was a TM band, which was different for each site. For two of the three sites, the second best band was a radar texture image from a large window size. For all sites the best three bands included two TM bands and a radar texture image. The original PALSAR bands were of limited value. Finally upon further analysis it was determined that no more than six bands were needed for viable classification at each study site.

CORINE Land-Cover (CLC) and its by-products are considered as a reference baseline for land-cover mapping over Europe and subsequent applications. CLC is currently tediously produced each six years from both the visual interpretation and the automatic analysis of a large amount of remote sensing images. Observing that various European countries regularly produce in parallel their own land-cover country-scaled maps with their own specifications, we propose to directly infer CORINE Land-Cover from an existing map, therefore steadily decreasing the updating time-frame. No additional remote sensing image is required. In this paper, we focus more specifically on translating a country-scale remote sensed map, OSO (France), into CORINE Land Cover, in a supervised way. OSO and CLC not only differ in nomenclature but also in spatial resolution. We jointly harmonize both dimensions using a contextual and asymmetrical Convolution Neural Network with positional encoding. We show for various use cases that our method achieves a superior performance than the traditional semantic-based translation approach, achieving an 81% accuracy over all of France, close to the targeted 85% accuracy of CLC.
