Process_Description:
Classification of SPOT 4 (XS) and Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery performed using a hybrid approach that combined both supervised and unsupervised image classification techniques. GIS layers were used to refine classifications using a "rule based" method. Final 15 meter classification was generalized to a .1 hectare minimum mapping unit (MMU) in riparian zone (within 30 meters of streams, river shorelines, etc.) and a .4 hectare MMU outside the riparian zone. ERDAS Imagine format file was then converted to ESRI Arc/Info GRID format using the IMAGEGRID command.
