Cross Validation can Cause a Difference of Misinterpretation to Valid Interpretation
Published In: GJHSS Part: B: Geography, Geo-Sciences Environmental Science & Disaster Management Volume: 16 Issue: 4
Easy availability of remote sensing dataset increases its importance and use by multiple folds, especially in areas of rough and difficult terrain like snow bound mountains. But at the same chances of misinterpretations will also be increased in the same proportion, when dealing with high altitude mountains in remote sensing. Seasonal variation within single year time framework and tempo...
