Landuse-Land cover mapping through digital image processing of satellite data- A case study from Panchkula, Ambala and Yamunanagar districts, Haryana state, India
Landuse-land cover (LU/LC) classification scheme
In the present study the Landuse-land cover (LU/LC) categorisation in the said districts is envisaged based on the classification scheme developed by National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA, 1995), table-1. The modification in the categories at level II is done keeping in view the area under investigation.
Table 1: Landuse-land cover (LU/LC) classification scheme (NRSA, 1995).

+ It includes land under agricultural crops during Kharif Rabi (both irrigated + un irrigated) and
the area under double crop (cultivated during Kharif as wall as Rabi seasons).
$ It is the vacant land without crop during both Kharif and Rabi seasons.
# It includes all agricultural plantation like tea, coffee, rubber, coconut, areca nut, citrus woodland and others
a It includes those which occur within the notified forest boundary as shown on the Survey of India topographic maps on 1:50.000 scale. Those occurring outside the notified areas are also included under forest class, but the area estimated of the two will be shown separately.
* It includes inland fresh water lakes, salt lakes, coastal lakes and lagoons.
