Land Cover Maps - Bronx

Manhattan Map | Staten Island Map | Click here for PDF version
Color infrared images collected by the EMERGE Corporation were taken in September, 2001 with 3 foot resolution. The land cover map was developed based on unsupervised classification of the 3 bands of EMERGE data (green, red, near infrared) and texture bands using Erdas Imagine software. Each pixel in the image was classified as either tree/shrub (dark green), grass/soil (light green), buildings (grey), other impervious land (tan), and water (blue). Classification accuracy in the Bronx is 96%.
