Wet & Dry; Bogs, Bracken & Grassland Bogs (outlined in white) mapped by lower vegetation (photosynthetic) and greater moisture fraction (based on ASTER data). Areas of purple moor grass (black) and bracken (orange) mapped using a combination of SPOT non photosynthetic vegetation and shade/moisture fraction images.

Wales is a land of fields Image segmented using unit (field) boundaries Multi-resolution segmentation (using larger scale factors) applied within the unit boundaries Areas outside of field boundaries (mainly uplands) using a small scale factor (1 - 2 pixels)
