Module 8 Remote Sensing


For our module 8 assignment we were tasked with finding and importing orthorectified aerial imagery and then creating two maps consisting of supervised classification and unsupervised classification. The Supervised classification focuses on 5 classes and the unsupervised classification focuses on 8 classes.

The area we focused this assignment on was found in Cahokia, Illinois at the site of Monk's Mound.  The site is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site as well as a U.S. National Historic Landmark.  The site is home to the largest prehistoric earthworks north of Mexico inhabited from  700-1400 A.D.
