A promising fast method for estimating land cover areas from satellite imagery is the use of random point sampling. This method allows you to obtain area values without spatially continuous mapping of land areas. The accuracy of the area estimate by this method depends on the sample size. The presented work describes a method for empirically finding the optimal sample size. To use this method, you must select a key site for which a reference land cover exists. For the key site, we perform multip
