Unsupervised Classification Lab Guide

This document provides instructions for performing unsupervised classification of a digital image into 10 classes. The process involves using an unsupervised classification tool in GIS software to automatically classify pixels in the image. The results are then analyzed and edited by assigning color codes and renaming classes to match land cover types in the area, with reference to other materials. The final output is a new classified image map displaying 10 distinct land cover classes represented by different colors.
