This metadata refers to the dataset providing information about morphological spatial pattern of European forest in 2012 covering the entire EEA38 member countries and the United Kingdom. The input data is the Forest Area 2012 layer, which is based on different Copernicus HRL Forest products at 100m spatial resolution. This binary forest mask is divided into seven morphological spatial pattern classes (see lineage) while the Background (Non-Forest) is divided into three classes.
The Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA) methodology was developed by JRC. Details on the methodology, are described in MSPA-Manual, which is included in the GuidosToolbox software; Soille & Vogt, 2008. In short, MSPA is a customized sequence of mathematical morphological operators targeted at the description of the geometry and connectivity of the image components.
