Description: This dataset is a composite of the 5-class Green Infrastructure Land Cover, Building Footprints, and the 2-class Full Canopy datasets. The model to compile them accounts for features below the canopy by overlaying the GI classification with the Full Canopy. This dataset will enable the user to know where buildings, pavement, or open space exist beneath canopy. It is designed to be ingested into American Forests' CITYgreen software.A Green Infrastructure map for the 7-county SEMCOG region in southeastern Michigan was developed to support land cover and land use modeling. 4-band ADS-80 digital aerial imagery at 1-meter resolution was classified to a Green Infrastructure Level 1 classification scheme with the following classes: 1) Impervious Surface, 2) Open Space, 3) Trees, 4) Urban: Bare and 5) Water. The image was classified using Classification and Regression Tree techniques (CART analysis) and raster modeling.A standard accuracy assessment was performed on the final land cover. The overall accuracy statistic is 97.45%. Adjusted from the SEMCOG composite vector file, the data was reprojected to the Oakland County projection.
