Abstract
Landsat digital data is used to map land cover in the Willandra Lakes World Heritage Region in the semi-arid region of New South Wales. An unsupervised classification using a migrating means clustering algorithm followed by a maximum-likelihood classification procedure was found to be the most discriminating method of classifying land cover. The results of applying three change detection routines to multitemporal data sets of selected sites within the region are presented and discussed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
