  abstract = {{T}he southwestern {I}ndian {O}cean comprises numerous islands of less than 3000 sq km ({C}omoros, {S}eychelles, {M}ascarene {I}slands). {T}hese small island territories have very fragmented and diversified landscapes. {S}atellite imagery and landcover products at low and medium spatial resolution (usually from 4 kilometers to 250 meters) are not or poorly suited to the study of these areas. {T}herefore, we have developed a land use product, called {H}omisland-{IO}, based on the analysis of high spatial resolution images acquired by the {SPOT} 5 satellite between {D}ecember 2012 and {J}uly 2014 and produced at the {SEAS}-{OI} {S}tation. {W}e used an object-based image analysis method to identify the 11 major classes of land cover / land use of these tropical islands. {T}his methodology together with a good knowledge of the field has enabled us to achieve an overall accuracy of 86%, making it an operational product. {T}hese products have already been used in various projects, including epidemiology and health geography ({L}ept-{OI}, {TROI}, {ISSE}-{M}ayotte, etc) to describe the distribution and habitat of some vectors of diseases (mainly mosquitoes and rodents), a necessary condition for analyzing the risk of transmission of these diseases to humans.},
