| Land cover data represent environmental information for a variety of scientific and policy applications, so its classification from satellite images is important. Since neural networks (NN) do not require a hypothesis about data distribution, they are valuable tools to classify satellite images. The objectives of this work were to develop NN models to classify land cover data from information from satellite images and to evaluate them when different input variables are used. MODIS-MYD13Q1 satellite images and data of 85 plots in Córdoba, Argentina, were used. Five NN models of multi-layer feed-forward perceptron were designed. Four of these received NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index), red (RED) and near infrared... |
