As a result of the vegetation-cover classification (section Vegetation-Cover Classification), we obtained 10 annual distribution maps for the vegetation classes.
The classification of vegetation and the preparation of maps of vegetation have been notably advanced by F. Shreve, H.L. Shantz, H.M. Raup, and others.
TWINSPAN gave correct and rapid classification of vegetation landscape and identified 5 districts with different quality.
After national service, Derek joined the Nature Conservancy in Edinburgh and began, with Dr Donald McVean, a pioneering survey and classification of vegetation in the highlands; their book, Plant Communities Of The Scottish Highlands (1962), was among the first systematic works on the pattern of variation in European vegetation.
So their units do not bear a simple or consistent relationship to one another, nor to the standard classification of vegetation types in use in the country.
Therefore, our classification included vegetation cover, water bodies, slum areas and open spaces (open barren land is considered to be an intrinsic element of typical mosquito habitats).
Using appropriate method of selected points for point cloud classification, the vegetation on the surface and houses of the visible points are classified as "ground", and all these points are marked.
Our use of a quantitative approach to assign plots to a pre-existing national-scale quantitative classification identified vegetation alliances and associations that were poorly represented within the same river system and in a similar river system in the region.
DTM errors in the thinned datasets resulted from an incorrect classification of vegetation features as ground.
In our study, the lidar-derived DTM consistently overestimated the ground elevation compared to the reference points, likely due to the incorrect classification of vegetation features as ground by the point-filtering algorithm.
