14. Rapideye vs. Landsat In fragmented landscapes, Landsat fails to detect forest in many areas with forest cover of 20-90% (errors of omission) In homogeneous landscapes, Landsat fails to detect small canopy openings (errors of forest commission) Landsat forest estimates have high variance in those areas with forest cover higher than 90% (inaccuracy and lack of precision).
