Method for estimating forest inventory

摘要

A method of using remotely sensed data and ground measurements to accurately estimate forest inventories. The proposed method includes two complimentary components-an image processing component and a post processing component. The image processing component predicts a forest parameter of interest for one or more forest stands using the remotely sensed data. The post processing component further processes the output from the image processing component to quantify results that are in a form that is more useful to end users.
