The first Canadian wetland inventory (CWI) map was produced in 2019 using Landsat data and the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, with a 71% overall accuracy. However, limitations such as low-quality training samples were identified, prompting solutions like incorporating reliable in situ data and using object-based classification methods to improve accuracy. Valuable feedback on the map's accuracy was received, highlighting the importance of improving the CWI map for future applications.
The first Canadian wetland inventory (CWI) map, which was based on Landsat data, was produced in 2019 using the Google Earth Engine (GEE) big data processing platform. The proposed GEE-based method to create the preliminary CWI map proved to be a cost, time, and computationally efficient approach. Although the initial effort to produce the CWI map was valuable with a 71% overall accuracy (OA), there were several inevitable limitations (e.g., low-quality samples for the training and validation of the map). Therefore, it was important to comprehensively investigate those limitations and develop effective solutions to improve the accuracy of the Landsat-based CWI (L-CWI) map. Over the past year, the L-CWI map was shared with several governmental, academic, environmental nonprofit, and industrial organizations. Subsequently, valuable feedback was received on the accuracy of this product by comparing it with various in situ data, photo-interpreted reference samples, land cover/land use maps, and high-resolution aerial images. It was generally observed that the accuracy of the L-CWI map was lower relative to the other available products. For example, the average OA in four Canadian provinces using in situ data was 60%. Moreover, including reliable in situ data, using an object-based classification method, and adding more optical and synthetic aperture radar datasets were identified as the main practical solutions to improve the CWI map in the future. Finally, limitations and solutions discussed in this study are applicable to any large-scale wetland mapping using remote sensing methods, especially to CWI generation using optical satellite data in GEE.
