A Systematic Evaluation of the COTQ Provincial Land Cover Product: Structural Consistency, Spectral Separability, and Relative Positioning Against ESA, ESRI, and Google Products

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 15, 2026 · UTC

High-resolution land use and land cover (LULC) products derived from Sentinel-2 imagery are widely used for environmental monitoring and land management, yet their performance can vary across regions with complex ecological gradients and heterogeneous surface conditions. In Quebec, these limitations motivated the development of a provincial 10-m land-cover product, the COTQ, designed to support annual monitoring of land occupation and soil artificialisation. This study presents a systematic evaluation of the COTQ product relative to three global 10-m LULC datasets: ESA WorldCover, ESRI LandCov
