2.2. Data Sets

In the production of land cover maps, Sentinel-2 satellite images and data
obtained from stakeholder institutions are used as auxiliary data. Sentinel-2
satellite images are preferred for land cover classification due to free data
acquisition and temporal resolution (Pesaresi et al., 2015). Sentinel-2 satellite
images are automatically downloaded in 128 tiles covering Turkey through the
module developed with UASIS. A dataset is created from the downloaded
Sentinel-2 images by mosaicking the images with the lowest cloud cover, which
ensures that at least one image from each month is used in the production of
the land cover map.
