  1. One thousand random points were generated and placed on the orthomosaiced image using the equalized random sampling method. Predicted data were generated using k-means clustering and reference data were manually created using visual observations of the images. Accuracy assessment results were generated using ERDAS IMAGINE software. An overall classification accuracy of 95.6% was achieved
  2. The diagonal elements are italicized to highlight the number of correctly classified pixels in terms of plant or soil classifications
