Title
Land Use Land Cover Palos Township 2024 [Illinois--Cook County]
Description
This land use and land cover (LULC) classification dataset was generated using advanced remote sensing techniques, combining high-resolution airborne hyperspectral imagery from 2023 and LiDAR data from 2022. This data set is part of a p ilot program, one of seven areas: Schaumburg 2023, Barrington 2024, Bloom 2024, Lake 2024, Palos 2024, Stickney 2025, & Thorton 2024. The classification scheme includes a wide range of classes, such as Aquatic Vegetation Wetlands, Woodland or Forest, Open Water, Roads or Impervious Surfaces, and various types of vegetation and urban features. Spectral and spatial analyses were conducted to delineate areas of submersed or floating aquatic vegetation between 0-0.5m in height within wetland locations. The integration of hyperspectral and LiDAR data allowed for precise distinction between vegetation types, structures, and other land cover classes. This dataset offers a comprehensive view of both natural and human-modified landscapes in the study area.
