Area Accuracy Assessment for Land Use Change Detection by Remote Sensing

The paper is to contribute to the annual land use change detection by remote sensing through approaches and indices of area accuracy assessment. St atistical experiments and the application of the relative error spread rule were employed. The error distribution rule is acquired and indices of area accuracy assessment are built. The paper also developed a systematic sampling technique a nd area accuracy assessment method for change detection. In conclusion, the meth od is simple, effective and applicable.
