Interactive Digital Image Processing for Terrain Data Extraction.

Abstract

The Phase 3 of an experimental study has been performed to test several man-machine interactive digital image processing techniques for the extraction of forest related information including the outline of forested areas, tree stem location, tree stem densities and canopy closure. The techniques were applied to several different images covering a considerable range of forest types. Results of the digital processing were compared to a manual photo-interpretation and to actual field measurements. (Author)
