چکیده
Selective logging is currently a widely adopted management practice throughout the tropics. Monitoring of spatial extent and intensity of such logging is, therefore, becoming an important issue for sustainable management of forest. In spite of successful use of RS in various field of forestry, detection and quantification of selective logging is still a problem. This study explores the possibility of using various approaches and Landsat-7 ETM+ image for the purpose. Two dataset of Landsat-7 ETM+ acquired on 16 August 2002 and 26 August 2000 of Labanan concession area East Kalimantan, were used. Field data of newly logged points, unlogged forest etc were collected during a fieldwork in September 2002. Maximum likelihood (ML) classification of original dataset of ETM+ 2002 and fused dataset with panchromatic were carried out. Sub-pixel classification approach was also tested. The results showed that the ML classification of fused image and sub-pixel classification approaches were found reasonable with overall accuracy and kappa 84%, 0.75; 86%, 0.71.

Selective logging has been applied in the Indonesian tropical rain forest since the 1960. This has resulted thousands of hectare logged-over forest. In Labanan, Berau, East Kalimantan, selective logging will enter the second rotation in 2010. A comprehensive analysis on the logged over forest condition should be made before harvesting the logged over forest. One aspect that should be considered...

In this research, two techniques of pixel-based and object-based image analysis were investigated and compared for providing land use map in arid basin of Mokhtaran, Birjand. Using Landsat satellite imagery in 2015, the classification of land use was performed with three object-based algorithms of supervised fuzzy-maximum likelihood, maximum likelihood, and K-nearest neighbor. Nine combinations...
