Forest Cover Change in Siberia - Results from the Siberia-II Project

* Corresponding author. Abstract – In this paper results of an object oriented image analysis approach for forest change detection based on spectral, contextual and object specific attributes are presented. A change detection classification system is developed that derives a change map using 1989 and the status in 2000 for selected forest inventory test territories in Siberia with extensive gro...
