Corine Land Cover 2000 project progress

Geographic accuracy:

Data is based on: IMAGE2000 as the geometric reference for the CLC databases with accuracy <=25m. Vector CLC2000 data with accuracy better than 100m. Raster CLC2000 data in 250x250m grid.

Scale of the data set:

1:250000

Methodology:

Data are derived raster product based on rasterization of vector CLC00 database as provided by National Teams within ICLC2000 project. All features in original vector database were classified and digitised based on satellite images with 100 m positional accuracy (according to CLC specifications) and 25 ha minimum mapping unit into the standardized CLC nomenclature (44 CLC classes). The resolution of the raster data is 250 x 250 metres, compatible with standard EEA reference grids (as released 08 April 2005). Rasterized from vector polygonal data withing ESRI Spatial Analyst environment Each cell on the resulting output raster dataset from the conversion process is assigned based on the value of the polygon found at the center of each cell.

Additional information

Data on land cover is necessary for the environmental policy as well as for other such as regional development and agriculture policies. At the same time it provides one of the basic inputs for the production of more complex information on other themes (soil erosion, pollutant emissions into the air by the vegetation, etc.). The objectives of the land cover project are: - to provide those responsible for and interested in the European policy on the environment with quantitative data on land cover, which is consistent and comparable across Europe; - to prepare one comprehensive land cover database for the 25 EC member states and other European countries, at an original scale of 1: 100 000, using 44 classes of the 3-level Corine nomenclature.
