Land cover forms in Slovakia identified by application of colour infrared space photographs at the scale 1:500 000

Year, pages: 2019, 120 - 126

The aim of the paper is to document the structure of land cover forms in Slovakia identified by application of35 colour infrared space photographs taken with the KFA camera to the original scale of 1:275 000, which were completed by the LANDSAT images. Land cover is determined by significant appearance attributes of landscape objects, manifested in space photos by means of characteristic patterns (acceptably homogeneous) which are formed by at least two textures. The authors defined and identified 22 mapping categories (patterns) and present them in the interpretation scheme at the scale 1:500 000. The land cover patterns identified from an environmental point of view and documented the present landscape structure as a reflection of natural, social, economic and political conditions of the Slovak territory.
