Clearcut mapping for sustainable forest management using TerraSAR-X imagery
Abstract/OtherAbstract :
2008 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, IGARSS 2008. Boston, MA, USA, 7 - 11 July 2008 Vol.IV, 647 - 650, The potential of TerraSAR-X imagery for forest cutting monitoring was experimentally investigated in images over Kuortane, Finland. In this study, 10 dual-polarised change detection indices were tested versus a ground truth of clearcuts done between the acquisition dates. Preliminary results suggest the decrease of entropy and the increase of coherence at X-band could be good change detection indices. Results were probably affected by adverse weather conditions during the acquisition of the second scene.
