For mapping validation purposes, it was used aerial videography images and field work survey. The confusion matrix analysis gave a 84.5% global classification accuracy and a kappa coefficient of 80.9 The use of aerial videography mosaics and plots of field work survey allowed to characterize and to evaluate the quality of FNT region mapping.
