The LUISA Base Map 2018
A geospatial data fusion approach to increase the detail of European land use/land cover data
The LUISA Base Map 2018 is a land use/land cover map of Europe compatible with the CORINE Land Cover nomenclature, but offering a considerable higher spatial and thematic detail. It was produced by employing an automated, reproducible and structured geographical data fusion approach, integrating land use data from diverse, trusted, off-the-shelf geospatial data sources. It is a key input to the European Commission Joint Research Centre LUISA territorial model. Because it is publicly available, it can be used in many other applications requiring fine spatial and/or thematic detail of land use/land cover consistently for Europe. This technical report describes the background and specifications of the LUISA Base Map 2018, documents the materials and methods employed in its production, and discussed its main strengths and limitations.
