Abstract:
The NOAA Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) produces national standardized land cover and change products
for the coastal regions of the U.S. C-CAP products inventory coastal intertidal areas, wetlands, and
adjacent uplands with the goal of monitoring changes in these habitats. The timeframe for this data is 2015,
2016, or 2017 (depending on the exact date of imagery used). These maps are developed through the automated
classification of high resolution National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery, available Lidar
digital elevation data, and assorted ancillary information.
While produced as part of the Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP), these products should not be compared
directly to past dates of 30-meter C-CAP to identify change, as there will be vast differences caused by the
different methods and the classes mapped.
These data should be considered to be BETA-level or draft products. They are based on 1-meter land cover
mapping that were entirely automated and the relationship of those data to existing wetlands data. As such,
there may be issues that result from the different vintages of these products, as well as the errors
included in each. While not perfect, the data should provide an example of what level of detail would be
possible through such higher-resolution mapping.
These data are not jurisdictional or intended for use in litigation. NOAA does not assume liability for any
damages or misrepresentations caused by inaccuracies in the data, or as a result of the data used on a
particular system. NOAA makes no warranty, expressed or implied, nor does the fact of distribution
constitute such a warranty.
Purpose:
C-CAP is dedicated to the development, distribution, and application of land cover and change data for the
coastal regions of the U.S. This effort is being conducted in close coordination with state coastal
management agencies, the interagency Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) consortium, and the
National Land Cover Database (NLCD).

This dataset was created by NOAA's Ocean Service, Office for Coastal Management
Process_Description:
This dataset was created by the NOAA National Ocean Service (NOS), Office for Coastal Management (OCM). It was based on the simplification and resampling of a 6 category land cover that was produced using a random forest classifier and Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) processing framework. That classification was performed by EarthDefine LLC (under contract to NOAA OCM), as part of NOAA’s Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP) efforts. This classification is based on high resolution National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery, available Lidar digital elevation data, and assorted ancillary information.
Random Forest Classification:
The initial 1m spatial resolution 6 class high resolution land cover product was developed using a Geographic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) processing framework. This involves taking each image to be classified and grouping the pixels based on spectral and spatial properties into regions of homogeneity called objects. The resulting objects are the primary units for analysis. Additionally, these objects introduce additional spectral, shape, textural and contextual information into the mapping process and are utilized as independent variables in a supervised classification. Each object is labeled using a Random Forest Classifier which is ensemble version of a Decision Tree. Training data for the initial 6 classes (Herbaceous, Bare, Impervious, Water, Forest and Shrub) were generated through photo interpretation. The resulting Random Forest model was applied to the input data sets to create the initial automated map.
Resampling:
Simplification and Resampling:
The resulting 1-meter land cover was then resampled to a 10-meter raster. This was done using a 10x10 focal pixel window to compute the percent value associated with either the impervious or tree classes, for each land cover type in the 100 pixel neighborhood around each target pixel, and subsequently performing a nearest neighbor resampling of the resulting values. The output values were then coded to the appropriate percentage (between 0 and 100). This 10-meter raster was resampled a second time, using the average of values within a 3x3 focal pixel window in order to obtain the appropriate values over each 30-meter pixel area. Output values between 0 and 100 represent the appropriate percentage mapped within each pixel. Class 127 identifies areas not included in this mapping, or no data areas.
