Analysis of the Metric Camera MC-BW for land use classification and land use hazard management (thematic mapping of Metric Camera Spacelab black and white photographs)
Abstract
Metric Camera (MC) photographs were analyzed concerning land use and classification, and thematic mapping in test areas in Chihahua, Mexico. Ground check was carried out in the test areas (not at the same time as the flight). Results show that an MC-image could serve as auxiliary means for thematic mapping in scales around 1:100,000 and smaller scales of larger areas.
