Tutorial: Supervised Classification of Land Cover and Mosaic of Several Landsat images

This tutorial is about the land cover classification of several Landsat images in order to create a classification of a large study area using the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin (SCP). For very basic tutorials see Tutorial 1: Your First Land Cover Classification and Tutorial 2: Land Cover Classification of Landsat Images.

The study area of this tutorial is Costa Rica , a Country in Central America that has an extension of about 51,000 square kilometres. In particular, we are going to classify Landsat 8 and Landsat 7 images, masking clouds and creating a mosaic of classifications. We are going to identify the following land cover classes:
