FAME: A forest assessment and monitoring environment scenario

Effective management of forest resources requires suitable, up-to-date information on the state, extent and distribution of forest. Remote Sensing data can provide this information. FAO has initiated a feasibility study on a global operational forest cover monitoring network using satellite remote sensing data within the framework of the...

Test results of image segmentation algorithm on the RESEDA system (in Dutch)

The image segmentation algorithm has been tested by means of imagery of agricultural areas and forests acquired by airborne SLAR as well as Seasat SAR. The accuracy was determined for segmentation without any postprocessing and with emphasis on estimation of area and field average. Besides, the (positive) influence of segmentation on...
