- Abstract
The accuracy of GIS data is important in GIS application. In this paper, a fictitious case and an example were used to discuss the relationship between accuracy of land vegetative cover index and accuracy of image classification, and this relationship was explained by mathematics. The accuracy of land vegetative cover index rested with the accuracy of image classification, but had no direct relations with total classification accuracy. User accuracy and producer accuracy had more direct control on the accuracy of land vegetative cover index than total classification accuracy; and hence, they could not be ignored in the image classification. To improve the accuracy of land vegetative cover index, user accuracy and producer accuracy of the same land type should be consistent to the greatest extent.
