    We investigated an interpretation performances of features drawn on the 1/2,500 national large scale map using optical satellite imageries with 0.5m pixel size on the ground (GeoEye-1, WorldView-2 imageries) in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture. The satellite imageries are stereo-pansharpen and -panchromatic imagery and ortho-pansharpen and -panchromatic imagery. The method of interpretation is stereoscopic and monocular vision. We arranged each interpretation performances as a interpretation casebook comparing with aerial photos (0.2m pixel size on the ground), QuickBird (0.6m pixel size on the ground) and IKONOS imageries (1.0m pixel size on the ground). The result indicated that the most of the features in this study are able to interpret using optical satellite imageries with 0.5m pixel size on the ground at almost the same level with an aerial photos.

    Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is creating the "JAXA High Resolution Land-Use and Land-Cover Map" in whole of Japan. The data were acquired by the Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type 2 (AVNIR-2), onboard the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS, "Daichi"). The latest version of the map, version 13.02, has been released on March 1, 2013. Ortho-rectification, atmospheric and slope correction were applied to the AVNIR-2 data. The number of the input data for the classification was 1,876 scenes which had been acquired from April 28, 2006 to April 15, 2011. The classification categories are 1) water, 2) urban, 3) paddy, 4) crop, 5) grass, 6) deciduous forest, 7) evergreen forest, 8) bare land, and 9) snow and ice. Pixel spacing of the map is 0.000278 ° and 0.000333 ° for the latitude and longitude, respectively, which corresponds to a spatial resolution of about 30 m. The temporal classification accuracy was found to be 89.3%, which was is calculated using the validated accuracy of the classification multiplied by the surface ratio in each category by the Bureau of Statistics , the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.
