The paper discusses a method for estimating classification accuracy and comparability of thematic maps derived from satellite images time series of high and middle spatial resolution by the example of forest cover in the Middle Povolzhje region. For validation of obtained thematic Landsat maps for 2001 and 2014, ground truth and field data, forest inventory maps, as well as existing global and regional maps of land cover were used. To estimate comparability of maps of different spatial resolutions, a special module Comparer_CSFM&RS_1.0 was developed in ArcMap, allowing comparison by “floating window” or “pure pixels” algorithms. “Trees” class of the thematic maps showed maximum differentiation with 91.9% users accuracy for “floating window” and 98.9% for “pure pixels”. The maximum difference in the area of estimated land cover on the maps of MODIS and Landsat has the “Shrub” class. The research results indicate that combining MODIS and Landsat satellite images can be successfully used in mapping forest cover and monitoring its dynamics on a regional level.
Keywords: remote sensing, Landsat, image classification, forest stands, classification accuracy assessment, Middle Povolzhje
