LEET CARBON Provides High-Resolution Data of Land Cover for all Purposes

To celebrate the launch of our platform, we provide free access to 10-m resolution data of Land Cover and Land Use for the entire Bangkok Metropolitan Region between 2015 and 2021.

Data Overview

LEET Carbon employs Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms to generate data of land cover and land use changes in Thailand and beyond. LEET Carbon can also detect and monitor the individual trees.

LEET Carbon uses the LEET cloud computing platform and earth observation satellite data. These datasets can be used for education and research purposes to support the development of various urban programs, natural resources management, and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) and Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF).

Data coverage

    In Version I, the free data coverage is only for the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, Thailand including 6 provinces and 78 districts from 2015 to 2021. The data provided here only cover the urban region within the radius of 10 meters around settlements or built-up areas. To improve the land cover accuracy, we created urban boundaries using Sentinel 2 imagery in 2020 and keep this boundary as a base boundary for assessing the land cover changes for all the years between 2015 to 2021. We did not consider areas for classification where there is no
