[IP3-12-1] Error propagation

Remote sensing-derived products such as land-use and land-cover maps contain error. The error accumulates as the remote sensing data are collected and various types of processing take place. An error assessment is necessary to identify the type and amount of error in a remote sensing-derived product.
