Pouliot, W. Parkinson, and R. Latifovic. [Ottawa] : Natural Resources Canada, 2015. 16 p. : charts (some col.), col. ill., col. maps. Open file ; 17 Includes bibliographical references. "In remote sensing, sub-pixel or fractional land cover represents the area covered by a given land cover type within a defined footprint on the land surface. Accurate estimation of fractional land cover is of interest to provide more detailed information on land cover and its change over time. In the Alberta Oil Sands this is of particular importance due to the small size and rapid rate of the change observed. Results of the analysis undertaken in this study show that fractional estimation of conifer, deciduous, shrub, low vegetation, bare, and water is possible, but significant improvements can be made with enhanced data processing”--Summary provided by publisher. gccst Geophysics gccst Oil sands gccst Resources management gccst Satellite imagery Parkinson, William, 1986- Latifovic, Rasim, 1959- Canada.
