Abstract

Abstract This Letter responds to a recent Letter by Hay (1988) which describes a method for correcting interpreted land cover areas based on field survey in the form of a confusion matrix. It is shown how Hay's and an alternative direct method are both stable and sensitive only when there is high contingency between all interpreted and surveyed classes.
