The employment of such an \u2018exclusion-based\u2019 approach (e.g. sub-setting of the Landsat imagery and gradually reducing the minorities/majorities) can be considered as a breakthrough in deriving important land cover information in heterogeneous landscapes, such as the rainfed agricultural area of Ethiopia. This approach made it possible to distinguish cultivated land from other land use or land cover classes.",
