FEATURE SELECTION METHODS FOR OBJECT-BASED CLASSIFICATION OF TROPICAL FOREST USING SPOT 5 IMAGERY
Abstract: The faster development of spatial technology, the more options in material for image analysis and this characteristic also leads to a huge diversity of image features. Aiming at investigating the optimal feature space for classification with emphasis on efficiency in less time-consuming, image objects separability, certain numbers of approaches ranging from graphical to statistical methods involving class separation distances have been used for classification related to Object-based Image Analysis (OBIA). …

Assessing of Forest Structure Using Earth Observation Data: A Case Study in Munessa Forest, Oromia Region, Ethiopia
Abstract: Understanding forest structure is crucial for estimating carbon emissions associated with forests, assessing forest degradation, and evaluating the success of forest restoration efforts. However, forest structure quantification is limited to the area of interest without considering the whole forest coverage. Forest structure may be easily assessed over a wide area using data from remote sensing. Thus, by combining ground observation with satellite-based light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and Sentinel 2 …

ASSESSING OF FOREST STRUCTURE USING EARTH OBSERVATION DATA: ACASE STUDY IN MUNESSA FOREST, OROMIA REGION, ETHIOPIA
Abstract: Forest structure is essential for estimating forest-related carbon emissions, analyzing forest degradation, and quantifying the effectiveness of forest restoration initiatives. However, forest structure quantification is only limited to the specific area of interest without considering the whole forest coverage. Remote sensing data can easily deliver a large area to assess forest structure. Therefore, this study aims to assess forest structure of Munessa Natural Forest by integrating satellite based light detection …
