      <abstract>This data set consists of land derived from high resolution imagery and was analyzed according to the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) protocol to determine land cover. This data set utilized a primary Worldview-2 multispectral scene dated 03-06-2016. A secondary Worldview-2 multispectral scene dated 12-03-2012 was used to patch small cloud areas in the primary image.</abstract>
      <purpose>To create a baseline inventory of land cover features which can be utilized by state and local resource managers.</purpose>

            <description>This dataset was created by NOAA's Ocean Service, Office for Coastal Management (OCM).

This version of the classification is the High Resolution Land Cover (2016-era) for the Island of Anatahan, CNMI.

This section outlines the classification procedure for the Island of Anatahan, CNMI High Resolution C-CAP. Non impervious features were mapped using a 0.5 acre minimum mapping unit (MMU).

Pre-processing steps:
The Worldview-2 mosaic utilized for this project was provided from United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service as an orthorectifed, georeferenced product.

Classification:
Segmentation - Image segmentation was completed at multiple scales using the multispectral (2.4 m) imagery in order to group like spectral and textural objects within the imagery. For consistency with previous land cover mapping efforts, the generation of objects was partially constrained by the 2007 NOAA Anatahan C-CAP land cover product.

Classification- The image segements from the 2016 Worldview-2 imagery were overlaid on imagery and analysts counducted a visual analysis to identify areas of change.

Map Finalization - NOAA OCM performed two rounds of internal product review. Reviewer comments were incorporated to further refine the final land cover product.

Attributes for this product are as follows:
0	Background
1	Unclassified
2	Impervious
3
4
5	Developed, Open Space
6	Cultivated Crops
7	Pasture/Hay
8	Grassland/Herbaceous
9	Deciduous Forest
10	Evergreen Forest
11	Mixed Forest
12	Scrub/Shrub

14	Palustrine Scrub/Shrub Wetland
15	Palustrine Emergent Wetland
16	Estuarine Forested Wetland
17	Estuarine Scrub/Shrub Wetland
18	Estuarine Emergent Wetland
19	Unconsolidated Shore
20	Bare Land
21	Open Water
22	Palustrine Acquatic Bed</description>
