accuracyAssess

Simple python script for accuracy assessment based on confusion matrix. This will assist in reporting the accuracy of map making. Note:

1. The script is under modification for better usabality keep track of README.md/.txt file.
2. area estiamtions are only for Landsat data

Example error matrix

create comma seperated file (csv) First Line pixels for each class Second line onwards error matrix classes

-- Example usage accessAccuracy.py errorMatrix.txt

-- Dependency NumPy

Note: 1. For more information one sample error matrix file named 'errorMatrix.txt' is added to this folder. 2. To obtain error matrix visit tutorials at 'https://github.com/beeoda/tutorials' 3. In perticular refer to tutorial 4 Estimation 'https://github.com/beeoda/tutorials/blob/master/4_Estimation/4_estimation.pdf' and 'https://github.com/beeoda/tutorials/blob/master/4_Estimation/S4_methods_estimation.pdf'
