  1. Cells of the table show number of pixels for all the possible correlations between the ground truth (row) and the new peatland map (column). Overall accuracy is sum of diagonal pixels divided by total number of pixels. Errors of commission are described by the Producer’s accuracy, which is the percent correctly identified pixels within the column. Errors of commission are described by the User’s accuracy, which is the percent correctly identified pixels within the row. Overall kappa statistic is 0.11
