A Tutorial on Creating a Grid Cell Land Cover Data File from Remote Sensing Data.

Abstract

This document describes the procedures involved in linking a remote sensing system and a spatial data management system. Specifically, it identifies and describes a sequence of steps for the classification of Landsat multispectral scanner (MSS) data and the creation of a grid cell land cover data file. The resulting grid cell file can be merged into a Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) Spatial Analysis Methodology (SAM) spatial database. The procedures are also applicable to remote sensing data acquired from other sensor systems. The presentation is intended for those who are familiar with the SAM system and the characteristics and potential of remote sensor image data. (Author)
