MApping Device–Change Analysis Tool (MAD-CAT)
MAD-CAT is a stand alone application that provides a combination of two different, but fully integrated set of functions:
  • Land cover mapping support. The software allows users to generate vector based land cover datasets using different interpretation techniques (visual, semi-automatic, fully automatic).
  • Detection and validation, on statistical basis, of land cover changes. Detection of changes will be done in different modes:
    (a) on an already existing vector layer (whole to whole, on the base of polygons selected by a "pattern recognition" filter);
    (b) on statistically sound sample areas.

The software is directly linked with LCCS and it is able to manage LCCS classes and LCCS cartographic standards.

Current GLCN policy on MAD-CAT distribution restricts its use to FAO related projects. Future changes of this restriction will be immediately published on this site or through other resources.
