This demo dataset over Africa is deprecated. Please see this global dataset instead. Demonstration land cover maps over Africa at 100m resolution for epoch year 2015, from the global component of the Copernicus Land Service and derived from PROBA-V satellite observations. The maps include the main discrete classification (23 classes aligned with UN-FAO's LCCS), a set of cover fractions (%) for the 10 main classes and additional quality layers (e.g. density of input data). As a base year, the classification and regression models for 2015 are saved for re-use in subsequent consolidated (with full year prior and pastor observations) and near-real time years (with full year prior and 3 months pastor data). The layers with the probability of the discrete classification and the standard deviation of the cover fractions are only provided for this base epoch. The Change Consistency Layer that checks consistency between classifier and break detection, is only available for the most recent (near-real time) epoch (2018).
