Rapid Land Cover Mapper ArcGIS Add-In
The Rapid Land Cover Mapper (RLCM) is an Esri ArcGIS® Desktop add-in developed as an alternative to automated or semi-automated mapping methods. Based on a manual photo interpretation technique, the tool facilitates mapping over large areas and through time and produces time-series raster maps and associated statistics that characterize the changing landscapes. The Rapid Land Cover Mapper add-in can be used with any imagery source to map various themes (for instance, land cover, soils, or forest) at any chosen mapping resolution.
Note: Google Earth release (version 7.1.8.x) does not work with the RLCM add-in.
