Quantitative remote sensing - Polygon in polygon analysis using GME/R
Channel: Karen Joyce
Date: 03/10/2013

The polygon in polygon analysis allows us to calculate statistics related to the occurrence of polygons in one shapefile with respect to another. This is shown here for calculating the area of vegetation in one layer that lies within individual Landsat pixels from another.
Note that this is an updated version of what was previously recorded using Hawth's Tools within ArcGIS. This extension does not work with Arc 10.1, so this new video covers what's required using the freely available GME and R software.
