LUCAS Visual Browser: A tool for land cover visual analytics

In this paper we present the LUCAS Visual Browser system, a tool for land cover visual analytics. The system implements different web technologies in a multilayer server-client architecture in order to allow the user to visually analyse land cover heterogeneous information. The information manage is composed of EO multispectral and SAR products along with the multitemporal in situ LUCAS surveys. The fusion of these data provides a very useful information during the EO scene interpretation process. Furthermore, the system offers interactive tools for the detection of optimal datasets for EO multi-temporal image change detection, providing at the same time ground truth points for both, human and machine analysis.
