ELC10: European 10 m resolution land cover map 2018

<p>Refer to preprint here:&nbsp;https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.10922</p> <p>A land cover classification for Europe at 10 m resolution produced with a machine learning workflow driven by Sentinel optical and radar satellite imagery. The classification model was trained on land cover reference data form the&nbsp;LUCAS (Land Use/Cover Area frame Survey) dataset. The map represents conditions in 2018.</p> <p>The methodology is currently under review, but this will be updated as soon as the paper is available online. Please refer to the publication for accuracy estimates and usage guidelines.</p> <p>The map is split up into a number of raster tiles with the coordinate reference system &quot;EPSG:3035 - ERTS89 / LAEA Europe&quot;.The filename of each tile is in the form baseFilename-yMin-xMin where xMin and yMin are the coordinates of each tile within the overall bounding box of the entire ELC10 image.</p> <p>The pixel values, their definitions and suggested hex color codes&nbsp;include: 0 (not mapped #000000), 1 (Artificial land, #CC0303), 2 (Cropland, #CDB400), 3 (Woodland, #235123), 4 (Shrubland, #B76124), 5 (Grassland, #92AF1F), 6 (Bare land, #F7E174), 7 (Water/permanent snow/ice, #2019A4), 8 (Wetland, #AEC3D6).</p>
