The Extraction of Tree Species Information of Forest Stands Using Satellite Images
نویسنده
چکیده
Two different estimation methods to estimate the tree species proportions of forest stands were compared using ERS-1/2 and Landsat TM images as test data. Overall, the estimation method based on the pixelwise classification performed better than neural network method because the differences between the results acquired with training and test sets were smaller. The best results were got using dataset computed from ERS intensity (texture information) and coherence images. The results which were got using TM-image taken during summer 1994 were little bit worse.

Growth, Development and Yield in Pure and Mixed Forest Stands
Objective: Ecosystems with mixed species compared to the ones with pure compositions provide a broader range of options in the fields of biodiversity, conservation, protection and restoration. Nearly all forest plantations are established as monocultures, but research has shown that there are potential advantages to be gained by using carefully designed species mixtures in place of monocultures...

متن کاملEstimation of Tree Biomass at Individual tree, Sample plot and Hybrid Level using Drone Images
Two-dimensional image conversion algorithms to 3D data create the hope that the structural properties of trees can be extracted through these images. In this study, the accuracy of biomass estimation in tree, plot, and hybrid levels using UAVs images was investigated. In 34.8 ha of Sisangan Forest Park, using a quadcopter, 854 images from an altitude of 100 meters above ground were acquired. SF...
