Texture-space segmentation and multi-resolution mapping for forestry applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Forestry management requires careful and intensive planning efforts to ensure optimal yield, ecological stability, and regulatory compliance. In this paper, we describe a method of identifying wetlands and producing maps of their extent from commonly available, remotely-sensed imagery. This method provides a large labor savings over both field inspections and manual photo inspections. The enhanced accuracy translates into better timber harvest planning and better conservation of the wetlands.

Introduction: Having accurate and up-to-date information on the status of land use and land cover change is a key point to protecting natural resources, sustainable agriculture management and urban development. Preparing the land cover and land use maps with traditional methods is usually time and cost consuming. Nowadays satellite imagery provides the possibility to prepare these maps in less ...

Desertification is one of the major issues threatening human communities. Manymethods have been developed for assessment and mapping of desertification hazards. In thisresearch, multi-criteria evaluation method was used to investigate desertification process inTrouti watershed, Golestan Province, Iran. At the first step, major desertification factors weredetermined by doing field surveys. They ...
متن کاملClassification of Endometrial Images for Aiding the Diagnosis of Hyperplasia Using Logarithmic Gabor Wavelet
Introduction: The process of discriminating among benign and malignant hyperplasia begun with subjective methods using light microscopy and is now being continued with computerized morphometrical analysis requiring some features. One of the main features called Volume Percentage of Stroma (VPS) is obtained by calculating the percentage of stroma texture. Currently, this feature is calculated ...
متن کاملContinuity Mapping for Multi-Chart Textures
It is well known that multi-chart parameterization methods introduce seams over the object being parameterized. This causes serious problems for several applications, like texture filtering and simulations in texture domain (e.g. fluid simulations). In this paper we present a set of two techniques, collectively known as ’Continuity Mapping’, that when used together make a multi-chart parameteri...
متن کاملMulti-resolution, pattern-based segmentation of very large raster datasets
We present an algorithm which efficiently segments very large categorical rasters based on patterns of their categories. It operates on a grid of motifels – square blocks of raster cells representing a local pattern. Our algorithm is based on the seeded region growing principle but it uses a novel grid topology and seeds stack with individual thresholds. It has a single free parameter – the spa...
