Number of correct predictions run diagonally and are highlighted in bold. Recall for for each predicted vegetation type is calculated as the weighted number of correct predictions for a given known vegetation type. Precision for each predicted vegetation type is calculated as the weighted proportion of correctly classified vegetation unit to the sum of all predictions.
