Description Land use map shows the spatial distribution of dominant crop types (at the per-parcel level) in the major part of the Fergana Valley in 2012. The map is part of a series on crop distribution from 2010 to 2014. Major crop types like cotton or rice were classified as separately, whilst other minor crop classes, e.g. sorghum, maize, or melons were aggregated to the class “other”. Such data can be used as input for crop acreage estimations, crop type distribution analysis, modeling land cover and land use change, yield, water demand calculations etc. Crop classification was done by means of an object (=per-parcel) based supervised classification procedure, based on ground reference samples that were recorded in the Fergana Valley in 2012. The Random Forest algorithm was used for the classification of one Landsat-5 TM and six RapidEye images (30 m and 6.5 m, respectively pixel size). The overall accuracy of this map is 85%.
