Abstract: International audience; The use of land cover mappings built using remotely sensed imagery data has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, these mappings are ultimately only models. Consequently, it is vital for one to be able to assess and verify the quality of a mapping and quantify uncertainty for any estimates that are derived from them in a reliable manner.For this, the use of validation sets and error matrices is a long standard practice in land cover mapping applications. In this paper, we review current state of the art m...
