Land Cover DE - Sentinel-2 - Germany, 2015

This land cover classification of Germany was created using Sentinel-2 imagery from the years 2015 to 2017 and LUCAS 2015 in-situ reference data (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/lucas). It contains seven land cover types: (1) artificial land, (2) open soil, (3) high seasonal vegetation, (4) high perennial vegetation, (5) low seasonal vegetation, (6) low perennial vegetation and (7) water with a spatial resolution of 10m x 10m.

Statement: Input data: Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery, LUCAS in-situ reference points, and imperviousness layers from OSM and the LoD1-de building model.

Description: This dataset was created using a median mosaic of all collected Sentinel-2 Scenes up until April 30, 2017 with a cloud cover of less than 60 percent. From these a total of 226 spectral and textural image features were derived. Additionally imperviousness from buildings, roads and railways were included. A supervised machine learning classifier was trained with in-situ reference points from the 2015 Land Use and Coverage Area Frame Survey (LUCAS).
