Urban Atlas 2012

The Urban Atlas provides pan-European comparable land use and land cover data for 6 Functional Urban Areas (FUA) in Lithuania territory for the 2012 reference year. Additional information (product description, mapping guidance and class description) can be found: https://land.copernicus.eu/user-corner/technical-library/urban-atlas-2012-mapping-guide-new The Urban Atlas is mainly based on the combination of (statistical) image classification and visual interpretation of Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery. Multispectral SPOT 5 & 6 and Formosat-2 pan-sharpened imagery with a 2 to 2.5m spatial resolution is used as input data. The built-up classes are combined with density information on the level of sealed soil derived from the High Resolution Layer imperviousness to provide more detail in the density of the urban fabric. Finally, the Urban Atlas product is complemented and enriched with functional information (road network, services, utilities etc…) using ancillary data sources such as local city maps or online map services. Additional codes are given according to EAGLE matrix: https://land.copernicus.eu/eagle/content-documentation-of-the-eagle-concept/manual/content-documentation-of-the-eagle-concept/b-thematic-content-and-definitions-of-eagle-model-elements/part-ii-land-use-attributes Minimum Mapping Unit: Class 1: 0.25 ha Class 2-5: 1ha Minimum Mapping Width: 10m Data was produced with funding by the European Union.
