This dataset represents land cover for the San Lorenzo River basin in Santa Cruz County, California derived from high resolution imagery. The land cover features in the imagery were classified to the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) classification scheme. Land cover data was derived through a combination of image processing methods including image segmentation and rule-based techniques available from the eCognition software package, and more traditional "cluster-busting" methods. in 2008, additional processing was applied to the land cover to make the data set more consistent with what is being distributed as a part of the High Resolution C-CAP effort.
