Lasse Møller-Jensen & Poul Yankson: Assessing the Land Cover Change of Accra Using Landsat-TM data. Geografisk Tidsskrift, Danish Journal of Geography 94:xx–xx. Copenhagen, Dec. 1994. The objective of the current study is to produce a land cover map of Accra, Ghana, showing the recent spatial growth in order to assess the nature of this growth and the current spatial development trends. A second purpose is to test the adequacy of Landsat-TM images for urban change detection studies. Comments are made on the rationale for land cover mapping based on digital satellite images. The applied image processing method includes a texture-based classification method, pixel to vector conversion and post processing in a vector-based geographical information system
