Mapping is a fundamental tool in the ecosystems studies. It is usually done by field records, but this method consumes a lot of time and resources. Remote sensing is a complementary tool but still need ground truth certification due to the scale factor. We present in this article a concept, the Extended Ground Truth, that try to keep the advantages of both techniques and offers the use of imaging tools while providing a ground truth. Then, we will develop this concept on one example concerning ecosystem analysis.
