Vicmap Vegetation - Tree Density Polygon

The Vicmap Vegetation Tree Extent dataset was generalised to 2m pixels and then clustering rules were applied to group the data into three density classes (Dense, Medium, Sparse). This classification was a pixel by pixel assessment where a pixel was allocated a density classification based on neighbouring pixels. The raster dataset was then converted to vector.

The process of grouping tree cover into density classes simplifies the representation of trees and reduces the complexity of the vector dataset. It is a effective way of representing tree cover. The original raw 20cm raster dataset is maintained as a separate dataset, Vicmap Vegetation Tree Extent.
