Lidar and Obect-based Image Analysis as Tools for Monitoring the Structural Diversity of Savanna Vegetation
Savannas are heterogeneous systems characterized by the coexistence of grasses and woody trees. Riparian zones are dynamic parts of savanna landscapes with structurally diverse woody vegetation. Growing recognition of the importance of the structural component of biodiversity has highlighted the need to understand the spatial distribution and temporal dynamics of woody structural diversity. Mos...
متن کاملApplication of Object Based Classification and High Resolution Satellite Imagery for Savanna Ecosystem Analysis
Savanna ecosystems are an important component of dryland regions and yet are exceedingly difficult to study using satellite imagery. Savannas are composed are varying amounts of trees, shrubs and grasses and typically traditional classification schemes or vegetation indices cannot differentiate across class type. This research utilizes object based classification (OBC) for a region in Namibia, ...
متن کاملObject-Based Classification of UltraCamD Imagery for Identification of Tree Species in the Mixed Planted Forest
This study is a contribution to assess the high resolution digital aerial imagery for semi-automatic analysis of tree species identification. To maximize the benefit of such data, the object-based classification was conducted in a mixed forest plantation. Two subsets of an UltraCam D image were geometrically corrected using aero-triangulation method. Some appropriate transformations were perfor...
متن کاملPixel-based Image Classification to Map Vegetation Communities using SPOT5 and Landsat TM in a Northern Territory Tropical Savanna, Australia
Traditional techniques to map vegetation communities are by aerial photography interpretation and intensive field sampling. Semi-automated methods, including pixel and object-based image classification, demonstrate potential to accurately map vegetation communities, however, there is a lack of comparative research. This study is a component of a broader research project that compares several te...
متن کاملCost-Effectiveness of Seven Approaches to Map Vegetation Communities - A Case Study from Northern Australia's Tropical Savannas
Vegetation communities are traditionally mapped from aerial photography interpretation. Other semi-automated methods include pixeland object-based image analysis. While these methods have been used for decades, there is a lack of comparative research. We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of seven approaches to map vegetation communities in a northern Australia’s tropical savanna environment. The...
