Does anyone know what the origins are of the magic figure of 85%
accuracy, as stated in Anderson et al (1976, ref below):=20
"The minimum level of interpretation accuracy in the identification of
land use and land cover categories from remotely sensed data should be
at least 85%"
It cannot have been plucked out of the air!
