Classify locations into well-known land cover categories.
This geospatial intelligence service classifies locations into 44 well-known land cover categories of the Corine database. The database provides a comprehensive classification of land use and land cover across Europe, which can be used for a wide range of applications, from environmental monitoring to urban planning.
For the best performance, a spatial grid aggregates the land cover categories of the Corine database. So that the service classifies the locations against a minimum bounding geospatial region.
You can easily classify the locations of any entity located in Europe. We did a proof-of-concept using the Open Power System database offering conventional power plants with their technical details.
The service classified every location of the power plants into the well-known land cover categories. So that we aggregated the power plants into the most common categories by ownership.
