A NEW APPROACH FOR MAPPING LAND USE / LAND COVER USING GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE: A COMPARISON OF COMPOSITION IMAGES

In view of the increase in human activities, climate change and related hazards, land use and land cover (LULC) mapping is becoming a fundamental part of the process of any development or hazard prevention project.From this perspective, we propose a new approach for mapping LULC using Machine learning algorithms by comparing the result of five comp
